We added a parallel_offset method in 1.2.8. We'll want to change the
implementation to work with GEOS 3.3.0.

To: [email protected]


As of r3306 GEOS supports both offset curves (lines)
_and_ single-sided buffers (polygons).

This was a bit of a pain to districate as a GEOSSingleSidedBuffer
interface entered C-API as of GEOS-3.2.0 but had the lineal semantic
(offset curve) rather than the areal one (buffer on one side only).

So what we'll have in 3.3.0 is:

 1. A new GEOSOffsetCurve function deprecates GEOSSingleSidedBuffer
 2. A new GEOSBufferParams opaque type is introduced and serves the purpose
   of configuring operation of a new GEOSBufferWithParams function

With GEOSBufferWithParams you can have proper (areal) single sided buffers.
