-postgis (2.2.0~rc1+dfsg-1~exp2) experimental; urgency=medium
+postgis (3.7.0+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium
- Debian is now shipping PostGIS version 2.2 and dropped support for 2.1,
- meaning bug or security fixes will no longer be provided for the older
- one. This means it is strongly recommended to migrate all databases to the
- newer PostGIS version 2.2 as soon as possible.
+ The address_standardizer and postgis_tiger_geocoder are no longer part of
+ the main PostGIS package; they have been moved to separate packages.
+ Install postgresql-18-address-standardizer and
+ postgresql-18-postgis-tiger-geocoder if you are using these.
- Of course, databases that are already using PostGIS 2.1 will continue to
- work. Note, however, that with this upgrade it is no longer possible
- to create version 2.1 of the extension PostGIS. Instead, 'CREATE
- EXTENSION postgis;' will now give you version 2.2. Note that this can also
- affects backups.

-postgis (2.1.3+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=high
-
- It has come to our attention that the PostGIS Raster support
- may give more privileges to users than an administrator is
- willing to grant.
-
- These include reading files from the filesystem and opening
- connections to network hosts.
-
- Both issues can be limited in existing installations by setting
- the GDAL_SKIP variable (in the PostgreSQL server environment)
- to the list of all gdal drivers, but some drivers would still be
- forceably loaded by some operations.
-
- This release strengthens the code to load no drivers by default
- and allows for a fine-grained tuning of what's allowed and what
- not through postgis-specific environment variables:
-
- - POSTGIS_GDAL_ENABLED_DRIVERS
- Specifies a list of GDAL drivers to _enable_ (rather than _skip_)
- By default all drivers are disabled.
- Example value: "GTiff PNG JPEG"
-
- - POSTGIS_ENABLE_OUTDB_RASTERS
- Enables read support for out-db raster bands if set to 1.
- By default out-db raster bands reading is disabled.
-
- On Debian, you can easily set these via the following file:
- /etc/postgresql/${PG_VERSION}/${CLUSTER_NAME}/environment
