Error in Manual - ST_NumInteriorRings (8.5. Geometry Accessors)

[ruvyn]

RE ​https://www.transifex.com/postgis/postgis/language/en/

String #226 and #228 in 'reference_accessor.xml.plot' are against each other:

#226 "This will work with POLYGON and return NULL for a MULTIPOLYGON type or any other type." #228 "This will work with both POLYGON and MULTIPOLYGON types but only looks at the first polygon. Return NULL if there is no polygon in the geometry."

Can you tell me which is the correct statement?

[strk]

"work with both POLYGON and MULTIPOLYGON" is the behavior up to version 1.5.x, while "return NULL on MULTIPOLYGON input" is from 2.0.0 and up. The description should be updated accordingly (before being translated).
