| 2006-12-11 | Remove blank lines in HTML FAQ. | Bruce Momjian | |
| 2006-12-11 | Add FAQ entry to mention using COALESCE() for concatenation of possible | Bruce Momjian | |
| NULLs. | |||
| 2006-12-10 | Make separate targets for building printable documentation in A4 and | Peter Eisentraut | |
| US letter paper formats. | |||
| 2006-12-10 | Reorganize XSLT stylesheet support. Put common things into a separate | Peter Eisentraut | |
| file (instead of repeating), add XSL-FO stylesheet and appropriate make rules. | |||
| 2006-12-10 | Add some information about increasing JadeTeX parameters. | Peter Eisentraut | |
| 2006-12-10 | Drop indentation of verbatim environments in print output. This increased | Peter Eisentraut | |
| the build time by what seemed like infinity. | |||
| 2006-12-10 | Generalize Texinfo rules. Prevent them from overriding the PostScript | Peter Eisentraut | |
| build rules. | |||
| 2006-12-08 | Remove the logId/logSeg fields from pg_control, because they are not needed | Tom Lane | |
| in normal operation, and we can avoid rewriting pg_control at every log segment switch if we don't insist that these values be valid. Reducing the number of pg_control updates is a good idea for both performance and reliability. It does make pg_resetxlog's life a bit harder, but that seems a good tradeoff; and anyway the change to pg_resetxlog amounts to automating something people formerly needed to do by hand, namely look at the existing pg_xlog files to make sure the new WAL start point was past them. In passing, change the wording of xlog.c's "database system was interrupted" messages: describe the pg_control timestamp as "last known up at" rather than implying it is the exact time of service interruption. With this change the timestamp will generally be the time of the last checkpoint, which could be many minutes before the failure; and we've already seen indications that people tend to misinterpret the old wording. initdb forced due to change in pg_control layout. Simon Riggs and Tom Lane | |||
| 2006-12-08 | Fix broken markup. | Tom Lane | |
| 2006-12-06 | Add a txn_start column to pg_stat_activity. This makes it easier to | Neil Conway | |
| identify long-running transactions. Since we already need to record the transaction-start time (e.g. for now()), we don't need any additional system calls to report this information. Catversion bumped, initdb required. | |||
| 2006-12-06 | Change psql \\ example to use single quotes, per TOm. | Bruce Momjian | |
| 2006-12-06 | Clean up psql -c documentation that uses \\. | Bruce Momjian | |
| 2006-12-05 | Make URL to docs use /current/. | Bruce Momjian | |
| 2006-12-05 | Fix documentation example of using psql \x with a SELECT command, per | Bruce Momjian | |
| Simon Riggs. Backpatch to 8.2.X. | |||
| 2006-12-02 | Update most recent version from 8.2 to 8.2.0. | Bruce Momjian | |
| 2006-12-02 | Collect the bits of wisdom about dtrace installation in the installation | Peter Eisentraut | |
| chapter rather than scattering them across several incomplete fragments. | |||
| 2006-12-02 | Update for release 8.2. | Bruce Momjian | |
| 2006-12-02 | Wording refinement for external references in man pages. | Peter Eisentraut | |
| 2006-12-02 | Don't ship spi_* man pages. (We don't do that anyway, but now it's automatic.) | Peter Eisentraut | |
| 2006-12-02 | Put release date in release notes. | Tom Lane | |
| 2006-12-02 | Add some documentation for DTrace support. Simon Riggs | Tom Lane | |
| 2006-12-02 | Make Options for Windows a second-level heading instead of first-level. | Peter Eisentraut | |
| 2006-12-01 | Editorial improvements for GIN documentation. | Tom Lane | |
| 2006-12-01 | Some 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. | |||
| 2006-12-01 | Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level | Tom 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... | |||
| 2006-12-01 | Editorial improvements to backup and warm-standby documentation. | Tom Lane | |
| 2006-12-01 | Minor wording improvements. | Tom Lane | |
| 2006-12-01 | Adjust the description of locking to clarify that locks held by a | Tom 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. | |||
| 2006-11-30 | Update supported-platforms list based on recent buildfarm results. | Tom Lane | |
| 2006-11-30 | Fix typos | Peter Eisentraut | |
| 2006-11-28 | Add an example showing how to cope with mixed-case names in pg_dump | Tom Lane | |
| switches. | |||
| 2006-11-28 | Fix inheritance description to note that not-null constraints are | Tom Lane | |
| inherited, per Taiki Yamaguchi. | |||
| 2006-11-26 | Make pg_restore usage examples more useful: illustrate restoring into | Tom Lane | |
| both the same database name and a different one. | |||
| 2006-11-25 | Fix misspellings of GB. | Peter Eisentraut | |
| 2006-11-25 | Correct misspellings of kB. | Peter Eisentraut | |
| 2006-11-25 | Cosmetic release note fix. | Neil Conway | |
| 2006-11-25 | Document that to_char() "TM" is controlled by lc_messages. | Bruce Momjian | |
| 2006-11-24 | Update release notes for RC1. | Tom Lane | |
| 2006-11-24 | Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-added | Tom 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. | |||

| 2006-11-23 | Spelling and related minor fixes for the GIN docs. | Neil Conway | |
| 2006-11-23 | More minor SGML improvements for xfunc.sgml, including making some | Neil Conway | |
| titles more concise. (We usually don't need to repeat the name of a section in the title of one of its subsections.) | |||
| 2006-11-23 | Document that Kerberos is for authentication, and does not encrypt data | Bruce Momjian | |
| or queries over the network. | |||
| 2006-11-23 | Fix a typo in recent xfunc addition, do some routine SGML police work. | Neil Conway | |
| 2006-11-23 | Add: | Bruce Momjian | |
| > * Add ISO day of week format 'ID' to to_char() where Monday = 1 > * Add an ISO year field to extract() called 'isoyear' | |||
| 2006-11-23 | Add: | Bruce Momjian | |
| > * Allow SQL-language functions to return results from RETURNING queries | |||
| 2006-11-23 | Add "(assuming <varname>standard_conforming_strings</> is | Bruce Momjian | |
| <literal>off</>)" clauses for bytea. | |||
| 2006-11-23 | Shared Memory Hooks Documentation | Bruce Momjian | |
| This patch, against xfunc.sgml, adds a new subsection 33.9.12, Shared Memory and LWLocks in C-Language Functions, describing how shared memory and lwlocks may be requested by C add-in functions. Marc Munro | |||
| 2006-11-23 | Add release entry for 8.1.5 that was missing: | Bruce Momjian | |
