2010-08-24Update autovacuum_freeze_max_age documentation to mention that theBruce Momjian
default is low because of pg_clog file removal. Backpatch to 9.0.X.
2010-08-23Make an editorial pass over the 9.0 release notes.Tom Lane
This is mostly about grammar, style, and presentation, though I did find a few small factual errors.
2010-08-22Document that autovacuum_freeze_max_age is used for pg_clog recycling.Bruce Momjian
We already mentioned xid wraparound.
2010-08-19Bring some sanity to the trace_recovery_messages code and docs.Tom Lane
Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch. Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii, but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible (see the code for trace_recovery()). Fix the documentation to agree with the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does. Get rid of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.

2010-08-11Fix incorrect errno definitions in ECPG manual.Robert Haas
ecpgerrno.h hasn't materially changed since PostgreSQL 7.4, so this has been wrong for a very long time. Back-patch all the way. Satoshi Nagayasu

2010-08-10Use double quotes rather than double quotes for libpq target anchors.Robert Haas
Per observation from Tom Lane that the previous patch to these files was not consistent with what is done elsewhere in the docs.

2010-08-05Document which Python environment variables affect PL/PythonPeter Eisentraut
2010-08-05Remove the single-argument form of string_agg(). It added nothing much inTom Lane
functionality, while creating an ambiguity in usage with ORDER BY that at least two people have already gotten seriously confused by. Also, add an opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different numbers of parameters. Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.

2010-08-04Fix sloppy mistakes in documentation of PQescapeLiteral and PQescapeIdentifier.Tom Lane
Noted by Dmitriy Igrishin.
2010-07-29Update release notes for 9.0 beta 4. Back-patch some changes that were made ↵Tom Lane
only in HEAD.
2010-07-29Fix indentation of verbatim block elementsPeter Eisentraut
Block elements with verbatim formatting (literallayout, programlisting, screen, synopsis) should be aligned at column 0 independent of the surrounding SGML, because whitespace is significant, and indenting them creates erratic whitespace in the output. The CSS stylesheets already take care of indenting the output. Assorted markup improvements to go along with it.
2010-07-29Work around a documentation toolchain problem by replacing the "AIX-fixlevels"Tom Lane
table with a <variablelist> carrying the same information. Previously the 9.0 documentation was failing to build as a US-size PDF file. It's quite obscure what the real problem is or why this avoids it, but we need a hack now so we can build docs for beta4. In passing do a bit of editing in the AIX installation docs, in particular remove a long-obsolete claim that the regression tests are likely to fail.

2010-07-14Allow full SSL certificate verification (wherein libpq checks its host nameTom Lane
parameter against server cert's CN field) to succeed in the case where both host and hostaddr are specified. As with the existing precedents for Kerberos, GSSAPI, SSPI, it is the calling application's responsibility that host and hostaddr match up --- we just use the host name as given. Per bug #5559 from Christopher Head. In passing, make the error handling and messages for the no-host-name-given failure more consistent among these four cases, and correct a lie in the documentation: we don't attempt to reverse-lookup host from hostaddr if host is missing. Back-patch to 8.4 where SSL cert verification was introduced.
