Connections with PostGIS versions > 1.3.4 do not work

[mwtoews]

Connecting to a PostGIS server versions 1.3.5 and 1.3.6 do not work with the FDO providers versions 3.2 and 3.4. With AutoCAD Map3D 2008, a full crash with "AutoCAD cannot continue", and with Map3D 2010 an exception is thrown "There was a problem accessing the connection's schema information."

Unit tests on an Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 server have the results:

• postgis-1.3.3 (2008/04/12) - works with FDO
• postgis-1.3.4 (2008/11/24) - works with FDO
• postgis-1.3.5 (2008/12/15) - doesn't work with FDO
• postgis-1.3.6 (2009/05/04) - doesn't work with FDO

For these unit tests, versions of geos (3.1.0-CAPI-1.5.0) and proj (4.6.1) were held constant. All testing was done using modules manually build from source using default options in ./configure .

Support for recent stable versions of PostGIS would be appreciated.

Further PostGIS Provider development has been routed to the PostgreSQL Provider. Advise using that provider.
