[postgis-users] Cast boolean to text

[Pete Deffendol]

Hi,

After suddenly receiving errors in my Mapserver install, I tracked the 
problem down to a missing cast from boolean to text type.  In earlier 
releases of PostGIS (1.2.x), the lwpostgis.sql file did the following:

CREATE CAST (bool AS text) WITH FUNCTION ST_text(bool) AS IMPLICIT;

In version 1.3.1, this line is commented out of lwpostgis.sql.  I can't 
find any reference to the change in the Changelog.  Was it disabled for 
any particular reason?

Pete
