2006-12-02Add some documentation for DTrace support. Simon RiggsTom Lane
2006-12-02Make Options for Windows a second-level heading instead of first-level.Peter Eisentraut
2006-12-01Editorial improvements for GIN documentation.Tom Lane
2006-12-01Some more supported-platforms updates: buildfarm hare is alive again,Tom Lane
and penguin reported in recently enough to justify the assumption that we haven't broken ARM support in 8.2.
2006-12-01Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-levelTom Lane
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost. It seems unlikely that we will be able to fix this before 8.3...
2006-12-01Make the bgwriter's error recovery path do smgrcloseall(). On Windows thisTom Lane
should allow delete-pending files to actually go away, and thereby work around the various complaints we've seen about 'permission denied' errors in such cases. Should be reasonably harmless in any case...
2006-12-01Editorial improvements to backup and warm-standby documentation.Tom Lane
2006-12-01Minor wording improvements.Tom Lane
2006-12-01Adjust the description of locking to clarify that locks held by aTom Lane
subtransaction are released if the subtransaction aborts --- in user-level terminology, this means either rolling back to a savepoint or escaping from a plpgsql exception block. Per recent suggestion from Simon.
2006-11-30Better solution to the tr problem: use sed instead. Per Martijn and Andrew.Tom Lane
2006-11-30Improve portability of 'tr' invocation in PGAC_ARG_CHECK. Reported byTom Lane
Olivier Prenant, fixed by Peter.

2006-11-30Minor adjustments to make failures in startup/shutdown behave more cleanly.Tom Lane
StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG no longer need to be critical sections, because in all contexts where they are invoked, elog(ERROR) would be translated to elog(FATAL) anyway. (One change in bgwriter.c is needed to make this true: set ExitOnAnyError before trying to exit. This is a good fix anyway since the existing code would have gone into an infinite loop on elog(ERROR) during shutdown.) That avoids a misleading report of PANIC during semi-orderly failures. Modify the postmaster to include the startup process in the set of processes that get SIGTERM when a fast shutdown is requested, and also fix it to not try to restart the bgwriter if the bgwriter fails while trying to write the shutdown checkpoint. Net result is that "pg_ctl stop -m fast" does something reasonable for a system in warm standby mode, and so should Unix system shutdown (ie, universal SIGTERM). Per gripe from Stephen Harris and some corner-case testing of my own.
2006-11-30Fix bug with page deletion. If inner page is removed and it tries toTeodor Sigaev
remove page on next level linked from next inner page, ginScanToDelete() wrongly sets parent page. Bug reveals when many item pointers from index was deleted ( several hundred thousands). Bug is discovered by hubert depesz lubaczewski <depesz@gmail.com> Suppose, we need rc2 before release...
2006-11-29Fix Makefile problem which prevented installation on VPATH builds.Alvaro Herrera
2006-11-29Ignore libedit/libreadline while probing for strlcpy and some otherTom Lane
standard functions. Per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner.

switches.
2006-11-28Update timezone data to tzdata2006p zic distribution. It seems WesternTom Lane
Australia decided to institute DST with one month's notice ... way to go, politicians.
2006-11-28Mark to_char(timestamp without timezone) as stable, not immutable, since itsTom Lane
result now depends on the lc_messages setting, as noted by Bruce. Also, mark to_number() and the numeric-type variants of to_char() as stable, because their results depend on lc_numeric; this is a longstanding oversight. Also, mark to_date() and to_char(interval) as stable; although these appear not to depend on any GUC variables as of CVS HEAD, that seems a property unlikely to survive future improvements. It seems best to mark all the formatting functions stable and be done with it. catversion not bumped, because this does not seem critical enough to force a post-RC1 initdb, and anyway we cannot do so in the back branches.
2006-11-28Fix some translator comments so that xgettext finds them and pgindent doesPeter Eisentraut
not destroy them. Maybe we can adjust pgindent sometime.
2006-11-28Add workaround for localizing May and abbreviated May differently. IdeaPeter Eisentraut
of Dennis Björklund.

2006-11-24Update release notes for RC1.Tom Lane
2006-11-24Fix psql's \copy command to ensure that it cycles libpq back to the idle stateTom Lane
(in particular, causing the ReadyForQuery message to be eaten) before returning from do_copy. The only known consequence of failing to do so is that get_prompt might show a wrong result for the %x transaction status escape, as reported by Bernd Helmle; but it's possible there are other issues. Back-patch as far as 7.4, the oldest version supporting %x.
2006-11-24Revert (too late in beta):Bruce Momjian
Fix to_char() locale handling to honor LC_TIME, not LC_MESSAGES. Euler Taveira de Oliveira
2006-11-24Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-addedTom Lane
vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random spot in the middle as in the original patch. This was deemed more usable as well as less likely to break existing application code. initdb forced accordingly. In passing, remove former kluge for initializing pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.
2006-11-24Make contrib/isn pass the opr_sanity sanity checks: add missingTom Lane
commutator operators, and mark hash-opclass members as oprcanhash. This is a pretty ugly, brute-force solution, but it seems that getting rid of all these redundant-looking operators would require some tweaks in the core operator-resolution code to behave nicely, and I'm not willing to risk that just before RC1.
