Notes
- The sfcgal functionality is only available for RHEL/CentOS 7 on x86_64, and Debian 9/10. The sfcgal functionality is not available on Ubuntu 18, Ubuntu 20, SLES 12, RHEL/CentOS 7 on IBM Power8/9 (LE), and Windows.
- Since PostGIS 3.1.2, the return type of the raster functions have changed, which requires dropping and creating the extension as part of the upgrade process.
- When upgrading from 2.5.4 (or lower) to 3.1.2 or higher, you need to upgrade to 3.1.1 first as an intermediate step before upgrading to 3.1.2 or higher versions.
- When the PostGIS data has a dependency on the raster functions, upgrading to PostGIS 3.1.2 or higher requires dumping and reloading the data.
Please refer to the documentation for information about the complete upgrade process.
