As part of a batch release of patches for stable branches, the 3.11.2 release of GEOS is now available to download.

Release notes for the various branches are available: 3.10.5, and 3.11.2

The 3.11.2 release is a bug fix release.

As part of a batch release of patches for stable branches, the 3.11.1 release of GEOS is now available to download.

Release notes for the various branches are available: 3.9.4, 3.10.4, and 3.11.1

The 3.11.1 release is a bug fix release.

The 3.11.0 release of GEOS is now available to download.

This release includes new features for building “concave hulls” for both point and polygon input. For polygon input, the hull will be guaranteed to not cross into the interiors of the input polygons.

The line merger has been enhanced to support a mode that only merges lines which share orientation.

The offset curve algorithm has been updated to be more reliable for different kinds of semi-degenerate inputs, and may output different curves than the previous implementation, for those kinds of inputs. For “normal” inputs, the results should look very much like the old implementation.

As usual, numerous bugs have been fixed, and a few performance improvements discovered and implemented.

As part of a batch release of patches for all stable branches, the 3.10.3 release of GEOS is now available to download.

Release notes for the various branches are available: 3.7.4, 3.8.3, 3.9.3 and 3.10.3.

The 3.10.3 release is a bug fix release.

The 3.10.2 release of GEOS is now available to download.

This release is a bug fix release.

The 3.10.1 release of GEOS is now available to download.

This release is primarily to fix some version numbering issues in the initial 3.10.0 source tarball. Some extra fixes are bundled as well.

The 3.10 release of GEOS is now available to download.

• This release includes the following new features in the C API (and of course underlying changes to the C++ code to support these features):
