2012-09-04	Document that pg_upgrade requires PGHOST be set for any pre-9.1 servers	Bruce Momjian
	with a socket directory mismatch with the new server. Backpatch to 9.2.
2012-09-04	Mention basebackup-from-slave next to cascading replication	Magnus Hagander

2012-09-03	Fix pg_upgrade to cope with non-default unix_socket_directory scenarios.	Tom Lane
	When starting either an old or new postmaster, force it to place its Unix socket in the current directory. This makes it even harder for accidental connections to occur during pg_upgrade, and also works around some scenarios where the default socket location isn't usable. (For example, if the default location is something other than "/tmp", it might not exist during "make check".) When checking an already-running old postmaster, find out its actual socket directory location from postmaster.pid, if possible. This dodges problems with an old postmaster having a configured location different from the default built into pg_upgrade's libpq. We can't find that out if the old postmaster is pre-9.1, so also document how to cope with such scenarios manually. In support of this, centralize handling of the connection-related command line options passed to pg_upgrade's subsidiary programs, such as pg_dump. This should make future changes easier. Bruce Momjian and Tom Lane
2012-09-02	Update URLs that pointed to sun.com; either repoint them or remove	Bruce Momjian
	them.
2012-09-02	Add small doc mention that libpq is named after POSTQUEL.	Bruce Momjian

2012-09-01	Revert doc patch 305557984dd964ac397c6752e9d0f14646b60f15 as the values	Bruce Momjian
	are sometimes signed, sometimes unsigned.
2012-09-01	Fix broken link in installation.sgml.	Tom Lane
	Linking to other parts of the manual doesn't work when building the standalone INSTALL document.
2012-09-01	Cross-link to doc build requirements from install requirements.	Robert Haas
	Jeff Janes
2012-09-01	More documentation updates for LATERAL.	Tom Lane
	Extend xfunc.sgml's discussion of set-returning functions to show an example of using LATERAL, and recommend that over putting SRFs in the targetlist. In passing, reword func.sgml's section on set-returning functions so that it doesn't claim that the functions listed therein are all the built-in set-returning functions. That hasn't been true for a long time, and trying to make it so doesn't seem like it would be an improvement. (Perhaps we should rename that section?) Both per suggestions from Merlin Moncure.
2012-08-31	psql: Reduce compatibility warning	Peter Eisentraut
	Only warn when connecting to a newer server, since connecting to older servers works pretty well nowadays. Also update the documentation a little about current psql/server compatibility expectations.
2012-08-31	In pg_upgade, document that the port numbers must be different when	Bruce Momjian
	checking an old running server.
2012-08-30	Clarify FreeBSD instructions in pg_test_timing.	Bruce Momjian
	Josh Kupershmidt
2012-08-30	Properly document that SIGTERM is OK for users to use on a postgres	Bruce Momjian
	session, now that pg_terminate_backend() uses it. Josh Kupershmidt
2012-08-30	Revert 1fbc30f1dca6624c01a9a6a9ff711a7036c68532 because the	Bruce Momjian
	--enable-shared is about Plyton's configure, not ours.
2012-08-30	Remove doc mention of --enable-shared, per Tom.	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-30	Document that max_locks_per_transaction might need to be increased for	Bruce Momjian
	queries on parent tables, per suggestion from Josh Berkus.
2012-08-30	Fix checkpoint_timeout documentation to reflect current behavior.	Robert Haas
	Jeff Janes
2012-08-30	Document that log_autovacuum_min_duration can be used to monitor	Bruce Momjian
	autovacuum activity. Per report from Marc Mamin
2012-08-30	Document how to prevent PostgreSQL itself from exhausting memory.	Robert Haas
	The existing documentation in Linux Memory Overcommit seemed to assume that PostgreSQL itself could never be the problem, or at least it didn't tell you what to do about it. Per discussion with Craig Ringer and Kevin Grittner.
2012-08-30	Document that COPY OUT requires an absolute pathname.	Robert Haas
	As suggested by Etsuro Fujita, but with somewhat different wording.
2012-08-30	Remove old documentation warnings about the use of bigint.	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-30	Document that xslt-related RPMs may be needed to build docs.	Robert Haas

2012-08-29	Document that NOTIFY events are visible to all users.	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-28	Adjust pg_test_timing to show shortest test durations first, place	Bruce Momjian
	percentage column before count column. Docs updated.
2012-08-28	Update doc mention of how to compute bigint advisory lock value, per Tom	Bruce Momjian
	Lane's correction.
2012-08-27	Document how to create advisory lock "bigint" values in SQL.	Bruce Momjian
	David E. Wheeler
2012-08-27	Improve a couple of 9.2 release note entries.	Tom Lane
	Clarify the compatibility notes about EXTRACT() and about statistics timing columns.
2012-08-27	Add section IDs to subsections of syntax.sgml that lacked them.	Tom Lane
	This is so that these sections will have stable HTML tags that one can link to, rather than things like "AEN1902". Perhaps we should mount a campaign to do this everywhere, but I've found myself pointing at syntax.sgml subsections often enough to be sure it's useful here.
2012-08-27	Document the lack of reading the PGDATABASE environment variable in	Bruce Momjian
	pg_restore.
2012-08-26	Update FreeBSD kernel configuration documentation.	Bruce Momjian
	Brad Davis
2012-08-26	Clarify documentation that primary key and unique constraints are copied	Bruce Momjian
	for CREATE TABLE LIKE ... INCLUDING INDEXES. Per report from david.sahagian@emc.com
2012-08-25	Document clearly that psql \! parameter interpretation limitations are	Bruce Momjian
	the same as \copy.
2012-08-24	Some spelling adjustments in release notes	Peter Eisentraut

2012-08-24	Normalize some British spellings	Peter Eisentraut

2012-08-24	Put options on man page and in help output in slightly better order	Peter Eisentraut

2012-08-23	Fix typo in example.	Heikki Linnakangas

2012-08-23	Add instructions for setting up documentation tool chain on Mac OS X	Peter Eisentraut

2012-08-22	Remove overly-pessimistic statement about constraint exclusion.	Tom Lane
	As of 9.2, constraint exclusion should work okay with prepared statements: the planner will try custom plans with actual values of the parameters, and observe that they are a lot cheaper than the generic plan, and thus never fall back to using the generic plan. Noted by Tatsuhito Kasahara.
2012-08-22	Make a cut at a major-features list for 9.2.	Tom Lane
	This is open to debate of course, but it's past time we had something here.
2012-08-22	Make an editorial pass over the 9.2 release notes.	Tom Lane
	A very large number of small improvements ...
2012-08-22	Fix erroneous documentation of synchronous_commit = remote_write.	Tom Lane
	The docs claimed that this mode only waits for the standby to receive WAL data, but actually it waits for the data to be written out to the standby's OS; which is a pretty significant difference because it removes the risk of crash of the walreceiver process.
2012-08-22	Fix typo.	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-22	Document that pg_reload_conf() is also an easy way to reload the	Bruce Momjian
	configuration file.
2012-08-21	Update 9.2 release notes to reflect commits to date.	Tom Lane
	I was unable to entirely resist the temptation to copy-edit related entries, but will save most of that for a separate pass.
2012-08-21	Add a note to the MVCC chapter that some things aren't transactional.	Robert Haas
	Craig Ringer, slightly edited by me.
2012-08-17	Copy-editing for recent window-functions documentation rewrite.	Tom Lane
	Fix grammar, put back some removed information, rearrange for clarity.
2012-08-16	Update 'int' protocol documentation mention to be "signed", per request	Bruce Momjian
	from Dmitriy Igrishin
2012-08-16	Document that tab completation can interfere with some SQL commands.	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-16	Add warning about pg_ctl restart and the use of relative paths on the ↵	Bruce Momjian
	command-line.
2012-08-16	In docs, clarify that, without ORDER BY, the window frame is all rows in	Bruce Momjian
	the partition.
