00:03:51 CIA-2: mleslie * r4245 /branches/1.4/ ( 7 files in 2 dirs ): As a lemma to ticket 212, this fixes the inconsistent handling of ST_NumPoints with regards to curved polygons and compound curves. They now behave as they should, returning null.
00:26:43 CIA-2: mleslie * r4246 /trunk/ ( 8 files in 3 dirs ): Making the changes from r4244 and r4245 onto trunk, addressing ticket 212.
05:10:18 sigq: geosfeed: Ticket #273 ( defect updated ): trunk build failed with MinGW <http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/273#comment:3>

08:57:22 Schuyler: hobu: the C API doesn't appear to support everything I need
08:57:50 Schuyler: hobu: is there a reason beyond ABI compatibility that I should specifically use the C API?
08:59:48 hobu: API stability as well. The public API for GEOS is the C API. If you are willing to keep up with the changes, you can use the C++ API
09:06:40 Schuyler: hm. understood.
09:06:48 Schuyler: the C API isn't exactly documented, though.
09:07:32 Schuyler: one kind of separate question: the Geometry::relate( ) operation is expected to be expensive?
09:09:09 pimpaa: i think Schuyler, because it tests more then one predicate
09:09:12 hobu: I think it just loops through all of the D9 tests, so yes, it's probably costly
09:11:01 pimpaa: hey guys, i took a ticket to solve, but im having some problems with it
09:11:16 pimpaa: can yu give me some sort of hel?p
09:11:50 hobu: Schuyler: shapely and geodjango have good usage and examples of the GEOS C API
09:16:41 hobu: also, if there is something missing from the C API, please provide a patch. We would really like to encourage folks to not use the C++ API
09:19:07 pramsey: indeed, Schuyler, now is your moment
09:19:13 pramsey: 3.2 will probably come out sooner than one might expect
09:19:22 pramsey: so you can squeeze new CAPI stuff in under the bar
09:22:37 Schuyler: understood.
09:22:49 Schuyler: I'd like to contribute but I have a limited amount of funding for this project
09:22:57 Schuyler: so we'll see what if anything I can squeeze in
09:23:27 pimpaa: pramsey, can i post in the trac some options ive found on that ticket i accepted? i kinda want input from other experienced users
09:23:56 Schuyler: another question: # include <geos/geom.h>
09:24:03 Schuyler: throws a warning about deprecated headers
09:24:12 pramsey: pimpaa: sure. you can also post to postgis-devel and put a link to your mail into the trac instead.
09:24:21 hobu: this is to scare people into using the C API
09:24:25 Schuyler: if I'm not supposed to use that to pull in the C++ headers for the Geometry classes, what *should* I be using?
09:24:27 pimpaa: thanks pramsey, ill do both
09:24:29 Schuyler: oh geez
09:24:31 Schuyler: ok
