 Priority:  medium  |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.0
Component:  raster  |     Version:  trunk

 In 2.0, when I wrote the docs:
 http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-svn/RT_ST_Polygon.html

 ST_Polygon would return a polygon or multipolygon.  Now I see it always
 seems to return a multipolygon even if that multipolygon only contains one
 polygon. The answer is different too, but I have to verify dataset is the
 same to be sure.

 If polygon/multipolygon is intentional it should probably be flagged as
 such in the docs.  Also docs are missing an enhanced flag to denote the
 change from partial plpgsql based to full faster C-based.  Is that okay to
 put in or are you still working on things and want to wait.
