Description

Geospatial libraries are typically supported for 5 years. GEOS 3.9.0 was released in December 2020 and therefore support could be removed. See ​News.

The motivation for this is that this ​PR proposes to add a feature that is available in GEOS 3.10+.

Hi David,

I don't see anywhere in the codebase we using 3.9 version. We always making sure that version should be at least >=3.12 .

But in docs​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/ref/contrib/gis/install/geolibs/ we mentions the version 3.9 . So when we say drop support for GEOS 3.9 means remove 3.9 from docs.

I have feeling that i'm going in wrong direction. I would really appreciate if you could help me out.

It is possible that only a docs change is needed.

Please see the links in Natalia's comment for inspiration on what is required. These show the changes made when removing support for old versions of GEOS.
