Hi all,

Shapely 1.1 is on the horizon. I've committed code derived from Aron  
Bierbaum's that gets Shapely's GEOS backend playing nicely with the  
reentrant C API in GEOS 3.1. This shapely.geos package is the default  
backend in Shapely's new pluggable architecture. Geometry coordinates  
are now stored as Python arrays of floats and only "cooked" into GEOS  
geometries as needed, and are then cached. Some simple operations like  
computing bounds are more efficient, as is integration with Numpy.  
Point and LineString classes are in good shape, and I'm beginning to  
work my way up through the more complicated geometries. If you're  
curious, fetch GEOS 3.1 and Shapely revision 1226:

   $ svn co -r 1226 http://svn.gispython.org/svn/gispy/Shapely/trunk  
Shapely-r1226
