Description (last modified by )
The GeoDjango docs recommend using PostgreSQL 8.3 because PostGIS doesn't support 8.4 yet.
I don't believe this is true anymore. PostGIS provides binary windows installers for 8.3, 8.4, and 9.0, and the docs for both the 1.4 and the 1.5 branches claim to be compatible with every version of Postgres from 8.2 and 8.3 respectively.

Not being a GeoDjango user myself, I'd like to get someone else to confirm this before it gets fixed, but the report looks correct.

I can confirm it. I currently am using PostgreSQL 8.4.5 with PostGIS 1.5.1 for my GeoDjango based web site. Do you need any other kind of proof/sources before the documentation can be updated?

The Windows install wizard needs to be updated before this can be fixed. See the recent django-dev thread.

This has been fixed in r15872.
That should read "because PostGIS doesn't support Postgres 8.4".
