2007-10-17Another round of editorialization on the text search documentation.Tom Lane

these are more easily and usefully maintained as contrib modules. Various other wordsmithing, markup improvement, etc.
2007-10-13Migrate the former contrib/txid module into core. This will make it easierTom Lane
for Slony and Skytools to depend on it. Per discussion.

2007-10-07A few improvements to analyze and vacuum sections in documentation: add "seeAlvaro Herrera
also" entries for autovacuum in analyze and vacuum reference pages, and enhance usage of cross-references in the maintenance page.
2007-10-07Change &pi; to plain "pi" in index entry, to avoid double escaping issues.Alvaro Herrera
2007-10-07Clean up the doc makefile for draft HTML generation. It no longer worksAlvaro Herrera
to do "make DRAFT=Y html"; you need to use "make draft" (which was also supported previously).

generation ... we should figure this out later ...
2007-10-04Some desultory markup improvements in the new release notes.Tom Lane
2007-10-04Two fixes for the release notes from Guillaume Smet. In passing, makeNeil Conway
a minor markup improvement.
2007-10-04First pass at SGML-ifying the 8.3 release notes. Plenty of improvementsNeil Conway
left to made, but this is a start.
2007-10-03Second pass at 8.3 release notes: put items in a bit more logical orderTom Lane
where possible, add overview and incompatibilities lists, minor cleanups. The SGML-ification still leaves much to be desired.
2007-10-03Various minor improvements to the 8.3 release notes.Neil Conway
2007-10-03Some editorial improvements for recently-added ALTER SEQUENCE/VIEWTom Lane
documentation. Heikki and Tom
2007-10-03First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, andTom Lane
the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be written. But I think all the raw info is there (indeed maybe too verbose).
2007-10-01Add catalogs.sgml documentation for text search catalogs.Tom Lane
2007-10-01Add note warning against use of pre-8.4 multithreaded Tcl.Tom Lane
2007-09-30Add an extra header byte to TOAST-pointer datums to represent their sizeTom Lane
explicitly. This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST pointer later on. Per discussion with Greg Stark.
2007-09-29Make archive recovery always start a new timeline, rather than only when aTom Lane
recovery stop time was used. This avoids a corner-case risk of trying to overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL segment, and seems simpler and cleaner all around than the original definition. Per example from Jon Colverson and subsequent analysis by Simon.
2007-09-28Change initdb and CREATE DATABASE to actively reject attempts to createTom Lane
databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms, I believe). C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course, so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option, but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints caused by mismatched settings. I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.
