[3.4.4] - 2023-09-20

As of v3.4.4, geo_postgis is being maintained by the Felt team. As a company building a geospatial product on Elixir, with a track record of supporting open source software, we're excited for the future of the project.

Elixir 1.15 compatibility

This release fixes a major compatibility issue with Elixir v1.15. When compiling a project that depends on geo_postgis prior to this release, you may have seen errors like this:

== Compilation error in file lib/my_app/my_module.ex ==
** (ArgumentError) unknown type Geo.PostGIS.Geometry for field :bounding_box
    (ecto 3.10.3) lib/ecto/schema.ex:2318: Ecto.Schema.check_field_type!/4
    (ecto 3.10.3) lib/ecto/schema.ex:1931: Ecto.Schema.__field__/4
    lib/my_app/my_module.ex:23: (module)

...or:

** (UndefinedFunctionError) function Geo.PostGIS.Geometry.type/0 is undefined (module Geo.PostGIS.Geometry is not available)
    Geo.PostGIS.Geometry.type()

As new contributor @aeruder pointed out, this was due to a change in how Elixir 1.15 prunes code more precisely when compiling dependencies, resulting in the Geo.PostGIS.Geometry module being compiled out if Ecto didn't happen to get compiled before it. This release fixes the issue, but you'll still need to recompile both geo_postgis and ecto to get things working again.

Upgrade notes

If you're using Elixir 1.15, after installing v3.4.4, you'll need to run:

mix deps.clean geo_postgis ecto && mix deps.get

(Alternatively, a full clean build of your project will also do the job.)

Doing so will ensure geo_postgis compiles with the Ecto dependency and fixes the compilation errors noted above.

Note that you'll also need to run the above one-liner if you need to switch back to a previous version of geo_postgis (e.g., when moving between branches). However, if you can stick with the new version going forward, you'll only have to run it once.
