2011-06-03Truncate id to <=44 charactersPeter Eisentraut
This is the original DocBook SGML limit, but apparently most installations have changed it or ignore it, which is why few people have run into this problem. pointed out by Brendan Jurd
2011-06-02Use proper SGML doc entities rather than angle-brackets.Bruce Momjian

2011-05-31Protect GIST logic that assumes penalty values can't be negative.Tom Lane
Apparently sane-looking penalty code might return small negative values, for example because of roundoff error. This will confuse places like gistchoose(). Prevent problems by clamping negative penalty values to zero. (Just to be really sure, I also made it force NaNs to zero.) Back-patch to all supported branches. Alexander Korotkov
2011-05-31Use entities to encode non-ASCII characters in SGML documentationPeter Eisentraut
This has already been the case for the most part; just some cases had slipped through.
2011-05-31Replace use of credential control messages with getsockopt(LOCAL_PEERCRED).Tom Lane
It turns out the reason we hadn't found out about the portability issues with our credential-control-message code is that almost no modern platforms use that code at all; the ones that used to need it now offer getpeereid(), which we choose first. The last holdout was NetBSD, and they added getpeereid() as of 5.0. So far as I can tell, the only live platform on which that code was being exercised was Debian/kFreeBSD, ie, FreeBSD kernel with Linux userland --- since glibc doesn't provide getpeereid(), we fell back to the control message code. However, the FreeBSD kernel provides a LOCAL_PEERCRED socket parameter that's functionally equivalent to Linux's SO_PEERCRED. That is both much simpler to use than control messages, and superior because it doesn't require receiving a message from the other end at just the right time. Therefore, add code to use LOCAL_PEERCRED when necessary, and rip out all the credential-control-message code in the backend. (libpq still has such code so that it can still talk to pre-9.1 servers ... but eventually we can get rid of it there too.) Clean up related autoconf probes, too. This means that libpq's requirepeer parameter now works on exactly the same platforms where the backend supports peer authentication, so adjust the documentation accordingly.
2011-05-30Don't recommend upgrading to latest available Windows SDKMagnus Hagander
We only support up to version 7.0, so don't recommend upgrading past it. The rest of the documentation around this was already updated, but one spot was missed.
2011-05-30Add pg_basebackup -z option for compression with default levelPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-29Correct description of log_connections and log_disconnectionsPeter Eisentraut
The previous claim when these parameters could be changed was incorrect. Fujii Masao
2011-05-29Allow pg_basebackup compressed tar output to stdoutPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-28Drop "meaning" column from error code tablePeter Eisentraut
This is currently the same as the condition name, so it doesn't add any value, only clutter.
2011-05-25Put options in some sensible orderPeter Eisentraut
For the --help output and reference pages of pg_dump, pg_dumpall, pg_restore, put the options in some consistent, mostly alphabetical, and consistent order, rather than newest option last or something like that.
2011-05-22Put lists in sensible orderPeter Eisentraut

Other similar options also use the plural form.

2011-05-19Spell checking and markup refinementPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-19/contrib/foo -> contrib/fooPeter Eisentraut
Since contrib is a relative directory specification, a leading slash is inappropriate.

2011-05-13More cleanup of FOREIGN TABLE permissions handling.Robert Haas
This commit fixes psql, pg_dump, and the information schema to be consistent with the backend changes which I made as part of commit be90032e0d1cf473bdd99aee94218218f59f29f1, and also includes a related documentation tweak. Shigeru Hanada, with slight adjustment.

2011-05-10Adjust documentation with respect to "unknown" timezone setting.Tom Lane
The recent cleanup of GUC assign hooks got rid of the kludge of using "unknown" as a magic value for timezone and log_timezone. But I forgot to update the documentation to match, as noted by Martin Pitt.
2011-05-09Documentation cleanup for the possible values of the datatype 'boolean'.Bruce Momjian
2011-05-09Update documentation to state there is three-value logic, notBruce Momjian
three-value boolean logic. Backpatch to 9.0.X since we just got another bug report about this today.

2011-05-04Include unary plus in the Operator Precedence table.Tom Lane
Per gripe from Grzegorz Szpetkowski. Also, change the subsection heading from "Lexical Precedence" (which is a contradiction in terms) to "Operator Precedence".

2011-04-27Make a quick copy-editing pass over the 9.1 release notes.Tom Lane
Also remove the material about this being an alpha release. The notes still need a lot of work, but they're more or less presentable as a beta version now.
2011-04-27Add comments about the need to avoid uninitialized bits in datatype values.Tom Lane
There was already one recommendation in the documentation about writing C functions to ensure padding bytes are zeroes, but make it stronger. Also fix an example that was still using direct assignment to a varlena length word, which no longer works since the varvarlena changes.
