couple weeks ago on the hackers and interfaces lists:
1. When the backend sends a NOTICE message and closes the connection
(typically, because it was told to by the postmaster after
another backend coredumped), libpq will now print the notice
and close the connection cleanly. Formerly, the frontend app
would usually terminate ungracefully due to a SIGPIPE. (I am
not sure if 6.3.2 behaved that way, but the current cvs sources
do...)
2. libpq's various printouts to stderr are now fed through a single
"notice processor" routine, which can be overridden by the
application to direct notices someplace else. This should ease
porting libpq to Windows.
I also noticed and fixed a problem in PQprint: when sending output
to a pager subprocess, it would disable SIGPIPE in case the pager
terminates early (this is good) --- but afterwards it reset SIGPIPE
to SIG_DFL, rather than restoring the application's prior setting
(bad).

of days --- it was emitting stuff like
REVOKE ALL on 'table' from PUBLIC; GRANT ALL on "table" to
"Public"; neither of which work. While I was at it I
cleaned up a few other things:
* \connect commands are issued only in -z mode. In this way,
reloading a pg_dump script made without -z will generate a simple
database wholly owned by the invoking user, rather than a mishmash
of tables owned by various people but lacking in access rights.
(Analogy: cp versus cp -p.)
* \connect commands are issued just before COPY FROM stdin commands;
without this, reloading a database containing non-world-writable
tables tended to fail because the COPY was not necessarily attempted
as the table owner.
* Redundant \connect commands are suppressed (each one costs a
backend launch, so...).
* Man page updated (-z wasn't ever documented).
The first two items were discussed in a pgsql-hackers thread around
6 May 98 ("An item for the TODO list: pg_dump and multiple table
owners") but no one had bothered to deal with 'em yet.

Attached are diffs (from current cvs sources) to bring libpq.sgml
and libpq.3 up to date.
It appears that at various times in the past, people have made edits to
one or the other of these files but not both. I propagated some changes
from each into the other, but I don't think I caught every
inconsistency. It'd be real nice if the man pages could be
automatically generated from the SGML...

Making PQrequestCancel safe to call in a signal handler turned out to be
much easier than I feared. So here are the diffs.
Some notes:
* I modified the postmaster's packet "iodone" callback interface to allow
the callback routine to return a continue-or-drop-connection return
code; this was necessary to allow the connection to be closed after
receiving a Cancel, rather than proceeding to launch a new backend...
Being a neatnik, I also made the iodone proc have a typechecked
parameter list.
* I deleted all code I could find that had to do with OOB.
* I made some edits to ensure that all signals mentioned in the code
are referred to symbolically not by numbers ("SIGUSR2" not "2").
I think Bruce may have already done at least some of the same edits;
I hope that merging these patches is not too painful.

Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.
Please review and apply,
Cheers,
Jeroen van Vianen

1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql. 4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.
Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...

Here's a small patch to ecpg's man page to make it list all known bugs.
