that covers new features in 2.5, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 as well as newer PostgreSQL 11-13 enhancements. In addition PostgreSQL has changed as well and has added many new speed improvements, new datatypes (jsonb), and newer constructs (introduction
of partitioned tables). We cover some of these in performance tuning, PL languages and the Appendixes. <a href="http://www.manning.com/obe3/?a_aid=PostGISInAction&a_bid=5e00124f" target="_blank">PostGIS in Action,3rd Edition</a> provides a
guided tour of these new enhancements and things to watch out for when migrating from PostGIS 2.x to 3.x. For new users, you'll get a good primer on basic functionality of PostGIS as well as a growth path to take advantage of its more unique
and gourmet features. Special focus on PostGIS 3 series and PostgreSQL 12+. </p>
