We now compute an area of a minimum bounding circle from its polygonal representation, which is not as precise as it could be. I am replacing it with
shapely.minimum_bounding_radius
and classic pi times the radius squared formula to avoid that.The actual numerical difference is negligible in any useful case but there's no reason to not be more precise. And it will likely be faster this way.
