postgis (2.2.0~rc1+dfsg-1~exp2) experimental; urgency=medium
Debian is now shipping PostGIS version 2.2 and dropped support for 2.1,
meaning bug or security fixes will no longer be provided for the older
one. This means it is strongly recommended to migrate all databases to the
newer PostGIS version 2.2 as soon as possible.
Of course, databases that are already using PostGIS 2.1 will continue to
work. Note, however, that with this upgrade it is no longer possible
to create version 2.1 of the extension PostGIS. Instead, 'CREATE
EXTENSION postgis;' will now give you version 2.2. Note that this can also
affects backups.

postgis (2.1.3+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=high
It has come to our attention that the PostGIS Raster support
may give more privileges to users than an administrator is
willing to grant.
These include reading files from the filesystem and opening
connections to network hosts.
Both issues can be limited in existing installations by setting
the GDAL_SKIP variable (in the PostgreSQL server environment)
to the list of all gdal drivers, but some drivers would still be
forceably loaded by some operations.
This release strengthens the code to load no drivers by default
and allows for a fine-grained tuning of what's allowed and what
not through postgis-specific environment variables:
- POSTGIS_GDAL_ENABLED_DRIVERS
Specifies a list of GDAL drivers to _enable_ (rather than _skip_)
By default all drivers are disabled.
Example value: "GTiff PNG JPEG"
- POSTGIS_ENABLE_OUTDB_RASTERS
Enables read support for out-db raster bands if set to 1.
By default out-db raster bands reading is disabled.
On Debian, you can easily set these via the following file:
/etc/postgresql/${PG_VERSION}/${CLUSTER_NAME}/environment
