2006-12-02Update for release 8.2.Bruce Momjian
2006-12-02Wording refinement for external references in man pages.Peter Eisentraut
2006-12-02Don't ship spi_* man pages. (We don't do that anyway, but now it's automatic.)Peter Eisentraut
2006-12-02Put release date in release notes.Tom Lane
2006-12-02Add some documentation for DTrace support. Simon RiggsTom Lane
2006-12-02Make Options for Windows a second-level heading instead of first-level.Peter Eisentraut
2006-12-01Editorial improvements for GIN documentation.Tom Lane
2006-12-01Some 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.
2006-12-01Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-levelTom 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...
2006-12-01Editorial improvements to backup and warm-standby documentation.Tom Lane
2006-12-01Minor wording improvements.Tom Lane
2006-12-01Adjust the description of locking to clarify that locks held by aTom 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.
2006-11-30Update supported-platforms list based on recent buildfarm results.Tom Lane
2006-11-30Fix typosPeter Eisentraut
2006-11-28Add an example showing how to cope with mixed-case names in pg_dumpTom Lane
switches.
2006-11-28Fix inheritance description to note that not-null constraints areTom Lane
inherited, per Taiki Yamaguchi.
2006-11-26Make pg_restore usage examples more useful: illustrate restoring intoTom Lane
both the same database name and a different one.
2006-11-25Fix misspellings of GB.Peter Eisentraut
2006-11-25Correct misspellings of kB.Peter Eisentraut
2006-11-25Cosmetic release note fix.Neil Conway
2006-11-25Document that to_char() "TM" is controlled by lc_messages.Bruce Momjian
2006-11-24Update release notes for RC1.Tom Lane
2006-11-24Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-addedTom 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.

2006-11-21Add capitalization mention.Bruce Momjian
2006-11-21I noticed that the Partitioning section of the docs has *two* sectionsBruce Momjian
of caveats in different places, but close together. One called caveats, one not. That looks like it just led to somebody not reading some appropriate caveats in the second group of caveats (on -admin). Simon Riggs
2006-11-21Change the default setting for log_min_error_statement to ERROR. PerTom Lane
recent discussion in which majority opinion was that this is a more widely useful setting than the previous default of PANIC.
