<para>
The polygon <literal>&amp;&amp;</> (overlaps) operator formerly just
checked to see if the two polygons' bounding boxes overlapped. It now
does a more correct check. The polygon <literal>@&gt;</> and
<literal>&lt;@</> (contains/contained by) operators formerly checked
to see if one polygon's vertexes were all contained in the other;
this can wrongly report <quote>true</> for some non-convex polygons.
Now they check that all line segments of one polygon are contained in
the other.
