  • owner changed from pramsey to robe
  • type changed from defect to task
  • component changed from postgis to documentation

Also, the functions in the SQL don't use quote_ident()

Might be a good chance to rename, or at least deprecate and provide an ST_FindExtent that would be the only documented one ?

The inconsistency between CamelCase and dash_based isn't nice at all

Agreed. We also have extensive use of ST_Force_2D in the wild, and ST_Estimated_Extent. Would love to camel them and undocument the under_score_variants.

  • milestone changed from PostGIS 2.0.1 to PostGIS 2.1.0

I'm going to wait off on this. Why document something we may pull out and replace with a different name thus encouraging people to use an obsolete function this didn't know about. Since we can't rename in a micro, this has to go to 2.1

strk I don't even know what these are for and didn't we change the name. I'm switching to you. Push if you don't want to deal with documenting.
