Documentation for almost_equals/equals is not correct

See original GitHub issue

The binary predicate check almost_equals is actually geom_almost_equals. The documentation indicates just almost_equals. It results in the error:

AttributeError: 'GeoSeries' object has no attribute 'almost_equals'

Some related notes:

I’m noticing that in the reference.rst on GH that it’s referenced as geom_almost_equals.
equals() and geom_equals() behaves differently. The documentation only indicates the former and that equals() should be a per-object comparison returning a bool Series but I’m seeing just one bool as an output (like an aggregate) whereas geom_equals returns a bool Series. Is that expected behavior?

EDIT: Using Python 3.6 and Geopandas 0.3.0

Yes, that page is defaulting to the latest released, the ‘latest’ (the link I showed) is the development version.

Closing this then

Ah yes - looks like it’s fixed in the latest docs - I was looking at v0.3.0 or maybe more specifically the one here: http://geopandas.org/reference.html (which I would’ve thought defaulted to the latest)
