The March 2026 (2026.03) PostGIS release of Shopping Boundaries will show a reduction in size as the result of upgrading our build environment from Postgres 10 to Postgres 16, which correctly outputs the intended numeric precision for double-precision fields. Values for area fields will consist of 3 decimal places, while those for latitude/longitude fields will consist of 6 decimal places, as originally specified. Previous releases included unnecessary digits (e.g., 1234.56700000001), which will now be trimmed to the correct precision (1234.567). Geometry and non-double-precision fields will not be affected by this change, and the product will remain fully compatible with PostGIS across supported versions.
