To my surprise, I failed to find an official announcement for the release of GEOS 3.0.0. For more details, look in December and January archives of the GEOS-Devel mailing list.
Last November, GEOS entered OSGeo incubation. A reminder from the website: "GEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source) is a C++ port of the Java Topology Suite (JTS)." And the JTS itself is "[...] an [open source] API providing spatial object model and fundamental geometric functions."

"GEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source) is a C++ port of the Java Topology Suite" Ok, what is the Java Topology Suite? "The JTS Topology Suite (JTS) is an API providing spatial object model and fundamental geometric functions. It implements the geometry model defined in the OpenGIS Consortium Simple Features Specification for SQL. Functions provided include:
* spatial predicates (based on the DE-9IM model),
* overlay functions (intersection, difference, union, symmetric difference),
