2011-02-01	Properly capitalize hyphenated words in documentation titles.	Bruce Momjian

2011-02-01	Clarify documentation to state that "zero_damaged_pages" does not force	Bruce Momjian
	data to disk, so the table or index should be recreated before the parameter is turned off again.
2011-02-01	Document that effective cache size does not assume data remains in the	Bruce Momjian
	cache between queries.
2011-02-01	Document that Slony can do upgrades easier _because_ it supports	Bruce Momjian
	replication between different Postgres major versions.
2011-02-01	Clarify pg_upgrade install instructions, per suggestion from Robert Haas.	Bruce Momjian

2011-02-01	Add missing period "." in pg_upgrade documentation.	Bruce Momjian

2011-02-01	Re-classify ERRCODE_DATABASE_DROPPED to 57P04	Simon Riggs

2011-02-01	Add a link from client_encoding parameter to the list of character sets	Itagaki Takahiro
	in documentation. Thom Brown
2011-01-31	Improve docs for pg_authid encryption description with better markup and	Bruce Momjian
	a mention of unencrypted passwords.
2011-01-31	In pg_authid.rolpassword docs, make "md5" appear as a literal.	Bruce Momjian

2011-01-31	Support LIKE and ILIKE index searches via contrib/pg_trgm indexes.	Tom Lane
	Unlike Btree-based LIKE optimization, this works for non-left-anchored search patterns. The effectiveness of the search depends on how many trigrams can be extracted from the pattern. (The worst case, with no trigrams, degrades to a full-table scan, so this isn't a panacea. But it can be very useful.) Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Jan Urbanski
2011-02-01	Create new errcode for recovery conflict caused by db drop on master.	Simon Riggs
	Previously reported as ERRCODE_ADMIN_SHUTDOWN, this case is now reported as ERRCODE_T_R_DATABASE_DROPPED. No message text change. Unlikely to happen on most servers, so low impact change to allow session poolers to correctly handle this situation. Tatsuo Ishii, edits by me, review by Robert Haas
2011-01-31	Remove spurious word, spotted by Thom Brown.	Heikki Linnakangas

2011-01-31	Update pg_upgrade docs to mention its use in a less risk-warning way,	Bruce Momjian
	and update the pg_upgrade docs to mention its reliance on no changes to the storage format (the later based on Robert Haas's patch).
2011-01-31	Fix SGML markup for upgrade doc addition.	Bruce Momjian

2011-01-31	Update docs on building for Windows to accomodate current reality.	Andrew Dunstan
	Document how to build 64 bit Windows binaries using the MinGW64 tool set. Remove recommendation against using Mingw as a build platform. Be more specific about when Cygwin is useful and when it's not, in particular note its usefulness for running psql, and add a note about building on Cygwin in non-C locales. Per recent discussions.
2011-01-31	Move upgrade instructions into its own section under "Server Setup and	Bruce Momjian
	Operation", merged from upgrade sections in "Installation from Source Code" and "Backup and Restore". This now gives a single place for all upgrade information.
2011-01-31	Support multiple concurrent pg_basebackup backups.	Heikki Linnakangas
	With this patch, pg_basebackup doesn't write a backup_label file in the data directory, so it doesn't interfere with a pg_start/stop_backup() based backup anymore. backup_label is still included in the backup, but it is injected directly into the tar stream. Heikki Linnakangas, reviewed by Fujii Masao and Magnus Hagander.
2011-01-30	Add option to include WAL in base backup	Magnus Hagander
	When included, this makes the base backup a complete working "clone" of the initial database, ready to have a postmaster started against it without the need to set up any log archiving or similar. Magnus Hagander, reviewed by Fujii Masao and Heikki Linnakangas
2011-01-29	Properly capitalize documentation headings; some only had initial-word	Bruce Momjian
	capitalization.
2011-01-29	Make installation.sgml build standalone again.	Tom Lane
	We must not try to link to sections that aren't part of the standalone "make INSTALL" build. Corrects build failure introduced in commit 159e3d86292cfec2a2828f9f69ac7a6cb1be242d.
2011-01-28	Copy-edit a paragraph in the contrib/seg documentation.	Tom Lane
	Although this improves the style, an ulterior motive is to keep the two table links from breaking across lines in PDF output, per complaint from Josh Kupershmidt.
2011-01-27	Rephrase pg_conversion description to avoid splitting link across page.	Tom Lane
	The link to the CREATE CONVERSION manual page was split across a page boundary in the PDF output, leading to "\pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pdfstartlink" error while building PDFs. It wouldn't be worth changing text that's undergoing active editing to avoid this, since other editing might result in moving the link away from the page end anyway. But this paragraph has been static for a long time, so might as well fix it to prevent it from being an issue in future.
2011-01-27	Update release notes.	Tom Lane
	Security: CVE-2010-4015
2011-01-27	Update release notes for releases 9.0.3, 8.4.7, 8.3.14, and 8.2.20.	Tom Lane

2011-01-27	Improve grammar and spelling in durability discussion.	Tom Lane

2011-01-27	Update non-durable docs about non-synchronous-commit allowing	Bruce Momjian
	transaction loss for a _database_ crash.
2011-01-26	Restructure streaming docs so streaming seems more integrated in the	Bruce Momjian
	paragraphs, per suggestion from Dan Birken.
2011-01-26	Update contrib documention mentions to point to actual documentation	Bruce Momjian
	sections, rather than just calling it "/contrib/module_name". Also update pg_test_fsync build instructions now that it is in /contrib.
2011-01-26	Update sync commit performance documentation to be consistent with other	Bruce Momjian
	non-durable items, per Robert Haas.
2011-01-26	Make 'on' uppercase in a sql example.	Itagaki Takahiro

2011-01-25	Update warning about synchronous-commit durability, per suggestion from	Bruce Momjian
	Robvert Haas.
2011-01-25	Correct ALTER TYPE -> SET DATA TYPE in ALTER TABLE documentation.	Robert Haas
	The latter is the correct name of the operation to change the data type of a column. Noah Misch
2011-01-25	Remove old claim that ExclusiveLock is sometimes taken on system catalogs.	Tom Lane
	We used to do that on pg_listener, but pg_listener is no more. Also add a bit more documentation for ShareRowExclusive mode.
2011-01-25	Fix thinko in ALTER FOREIGN TABLE documentation.	Robert Haas
	Noah Misch
2011-01-25	Replace pg_class.relhasexclusion with pg_index.indisexclusion.	Tom Lane
	There isn't any need to track this state on a table-wide basis, and trying to do so introduces undesirable semantic fuzziness. Move the flag to pg_index, where it clearly describes just a single index and can be immutable after index creation.
2011-01-25	Implement ALTER TABLE ADD UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY USING INDEX.	Tom Lane
	This feature allows a unique or pkey constraint to be created using an already-existing unique index. While the constraint isn't very functionally different from the bare index, it's nice to be able to do that for documentation purposes. The main advantage over just issuing a plain ALTER TABLE ADD UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY is that the index can be created with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, so that there is not a long interval where the table is locked against updates. On the way, refactor some of the code in DefineIndex() and index_create() so that we don't have to pass through those functions in order to create the index constraint's catalog entries. Also, in parse_utilcmd.c, pass around the ParseState pointer in struct CreateStmtContext to save on notation, and add error location pointers to some error reports that didn't have one before. Gurjeet Singh, reviewed by Steve Singer and Tom Lane
2011-01-24	More documentation cleanup for sepgsql.	Robert Haas
	Thom Brown and Robert Haas
2011-01-23	First round of cleanup of sepgsql code and documentation.	Robert Haas
	Robert Haas, with a few suggestions from Thom Brown
2011-01-23	sepgsql, an SE-Linux integration for PostgreSQL	Robert Haas
	This is still pretty rough - among other things, the documentation needs work, and the messages need a visit from the style police - but this gets the basic framework in place. KaiGai Kohei
2011-01-23	Add 'directory' format to pg_dump. The new directory format is compatible	Heikki Linnakangas
	with the 'tar' format, in that untarring a tar format archive produces a valid directory format archive. Joachim Wieland and Heikki Linnakangas
2011-01-23	Only show pg_stat_replication details to superusers	Magnus Hagander

2011-01-23	Add pg_basebackup tool for streaming base backups	Magnus Hagander
	This tool makes it possible to do the pg_start_backup/ copy files/pg_stop_backup step in a single command. There are still some steps to be done before this is a complete backup solution, such as the ability to stream the required WAL logs, but it's still usable, and could do with some buildfarm coverage. In passing, make the checkpoint request optionally fast instead of hardcoding it. Magnus Hagander, reviewed by Fujii Masao and Dimitri Fontaine
2011-01-22	Allow the wal_buffers setting to be auto-tuned to a reasonable value.	Tom Lane
	If wal_buffers is initially set to -1 (which is now the default), it's replaced by 1/32nd of shared_buffers, with a minimum of 8 (the old default) and a maximum of the XLOG segment size. The allowed range for manual settings is still from 4 up to whatever will fit in shared memory. Greg Smith, with implementation correction by me.
2011-01-21	Clean up pg_test_fsync commit.	Tom Lane
	Actually rename the program, rather than just claiming we did. Hook it into the build system. Get rid of useless dependency on libpq. Clean up #include list and messy whitespace.
2011-01-21	Fix broken markup, also minor copy-editing.	Tom Lane

2011-01-21	Emphasize where OVER needs to be when using a window function.	Robert Haas
	Jeff Turner
2011-01-21	Update SGML docs to point to new /contrib/pg_test_fsync.	Bruce Momjian

2011-01-21	Move test_fsync to /contrib.	Bruce Momjian

2011-01-20	Add new psql command \dL to list languages.	Robert Haas
	Original patch by Fernando Ike, revived by Josh Kuperschmidt, reviewed by Andreas Karlsson, and in earlier versions by Tom Lane and Peter Eisentraut.
