-              v5
+              v6
  * `srid`
    * Sets the SRID (Spatial Reference System Identity) of geometry to the given value.  Defaults to 4326 (WGS84).  ''See'' Open GIS Consortium, Inc., ''[http://www.opengis.org/docs/99-049.pdf OpenGIS Simple Feature Specification For SQL]'', Document 99-049 (May 5, 1999), at  Ch. 2.3.8 (Geometry Values and Spatial Reference Systems, pg. 39).
+ * `index`
+   * Defaults to True.  Creates a GiST index for the given geometry.  Update the index with the PostgreSQL command `VACUUM ANALYZE` (may take a while to execute depending on how large your geographic-enabled tables are).  Please note that this is different from the `db_index` field option since geographic indexes are created in a different manner than regular indexes.
