​Experimental Builds

These are built for PostgreSQL 8.3-9.2 manually for both 32/64bit whenever anyone asks us or we think there is enough of a change to warrant.

PostGIS 2.1 buildbot builds

these are auto-built by buildbot whenever codebase changes. Usually takes about an hour or so after a change for the packages to be available Read the packaged Readme. If you have 9.1+ and don't have patience for reading you can also just copy over the folders into your PostgreSQL install and use in your database.
