     1If you are submitting a patch for a new feature, keep in mind we only allow new feature patches for semi-major and major releases, not for minor releases.  So for example if the latest stable version of PostGIS is 1.4 or 1.4 is in freeze mode (which usually happens about 2 months or more before planned release), then your new feature must
     2go into 1.5.

     4For new features, we expect documentation as part of the submission.  To document a new function, please do the following:
     5  1. Make a copy of  template.xml located in trunk/doc of the PostGIS subversion repository ([https://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/trunk/doc])
     6  2. Fill in respective information for your new function and make sure to remove anything that is not relevant.
     7     a. If its not MM compliant please remove that section, but if it is please note the MM section.
     8     b. If it doesn't support curves, 3D etc., please remove that too.
