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

	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.

2012-08-23	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.
2012-08-16	Revert: In docs, change a few cases of "not important" to	Bruce Momjian
	"unimportant". Per request from Heikki
2012-08-16	Rewrite window function reference section to more clearly explain	Bruce Momjian
	keywords and concepts, based on suggestions by Florian Pflug.
2012-08-16	In docs, change a few cases of "not important" to "unimportant".	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-15	Fix SGML markup; missing tag.	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-15	Document that PGDATA has to point to the configuration files, rather	Bruce Momjian
	than the actual data storage directory. Per suggestion from Thom Brown
2012-08-15	Document that pg_ctl -w allows for the entry of an SSL passphase on	Bruce Momjian
	startup. Per report from Thom Brown
2012-08-15	Add CREATE FOREIGN TABLE doc reference to CREATE SERVER.	Bruce Momjian
	Per suggestion from Ray Stell
2012-08-15	Properly document that NEW is unassigned in plpgsql for DELETE (not	Bruce Momjian
	NULL), and OLD is unassigned for INSERT, and NEW/OLD are unassigned (not NULL) for statement-level triggers. Per report from Pavel Stehule
2012-08-15	On second thought, explain why date_trunc("week") on interval values is	Bruce Momjian
	not supported in the error message, rather than the docs.
2012-08-15	Document why you can't use date_trunc("week") on intervals.	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-15	Document that foreign "version" and "type" values are only useful to	Bruce Momjian
	certain foreign data wrappers.
2012-08-15	Properly escape usernames in initdb, so names with single-quotes are	Bruce Momjian
	supported. Also add assert to catch future breakage. Also, improve documentation that "double"-quotes must be used in pg_hba.conf (not single quotes).
2012-08-14	Add more limited large object trigger example.	Bruce Momjian

2012-08-14	Add doc example of restricting large object trigger firing to only	Bruce Momjian
	updates of the column of interest.
2012-08-14	Update release notes for 9.1.5, 9.0.9, 8.4.13, 8.3.20.	Tom Lane

2012-08-14	Prevent access to external files/URLs via contrib/xml2's xslt_process().	Tom Lane
	libxslt offers the ability to read and write both files and URLs through stylesheet commands, thus allowing unprivileged database users to both read and write data with the privileges of the database server. Disable that through proper use of libxslt's security options. Also, remove xslt_process()'s ability to fetch documents and stylesheets from external files/URLs. While this was a documented "feature", it was long regarded as a terrible idea. The fix for CVE-2012-3489 broke that capability, and rather than expend effort on trying to fix it, we're just going to summarily remove it. While the ability to write as well as read makes this security hole considerably worse than CVE-2012-3489, the problem is mitigated by the fact that xslt_process() is not available unless contrib/xml2 is installed, and the longstanding warnings about security risks from that should have discouraged prudent DBAs from installing it in security-exposed databases. Reported and fixed by Peter Eisentraut. Security: CVE-2012-3488
2012-08-14	In documentation, change "recommendable" to "recommended", per	Bruce Momjian
	consultation with word definitions. Backpatch to 9.2.
2012-08-11	Add link from COPY ref page to psql \copy.	Tom Lane
	Jeff Janes
2012-08-10	Support having multiple Unix-domain sockets per postmaster.	Tom Lane
	Replace unix_socket_directory with unix_socket_directories, which is a list of socket directories, and adjust postmaster's code to allow zero or more Unix-domain sockets to be created. This is mostly a straightforward change, but since the Unix sockets ought to be created after the TCP/IP sockets for safety reasons (better chance of detecting a port number conflict), AddToDataDirLockFile needs to be fixed to support out-of-order updates of data directory lockfile lines. That's a change that had been foreseen to be necessary someday anyway. Honza Horak, reviewed and revised by Tom Lane
