included by everything that includes bufmgr.h --- it's supposed to be
internals, after all, not part of the API! This fixes the conflict
against FreeBSD headers reported by Rosenman, by making it unnecessary
for s_lock.h to be included by plperl.c.
postmaster, because it isn't updated after forking away from the terminal.
Apparently it's not used anyplace in the postmaster ... but seems best
to make it show the correct PID ...
socket file, in favor of having an ordinary lockfile beside the socket file.
Clean up a few robustness problems in the lockfile code. If postmaster is
going to reject a connection request based on database state, it will now
tell you so before authentication exchange not after. (Of course, a failure
after is still possible if conditions change meanwhile, but this makes life
easier for a yet-to-be-written pg_ping utility.)
IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).
There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3.
Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a
complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c. TAS and non-TAS
logic is now exactly the same.
When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR)
message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.

Subject: Bug in unicode conversion ...

Hi,
I tried this new feature in PostgreSQL. I found one bug.
Script UCS_to_8859.pl skips input lines which
1. code <0x80 or
2. ucs <0x100
I think second one is not good idea because some codes in ISO8859-2
have ucs <0x100 (e.g. 0xE9 - 0x00E9)
--------------------------------------------------
for any other purpose than PGLC_localeconv()'s internal save/restore of
locale settings. Fix cash.c to call PGLC_localeconv() rather than
making a direct call to localeconv() --- the old way, if PGLC_localeconv()
had already cached a locale result, it would be overwritten by the first
cash_in or cash_out operation, leading to wrong-locale results later.
Probably no demonstrable bug today, since we only appear to be looking
at the LC_MONETARY results which should be the same anyway, but definitely
a gotcha waiting to strike.
re-adopt these settings at every postmaster or standalone-backend startup.
This should fix problems with indexes becoming corrupt due to failure to
provide consistent locale environment for postmaster at all times. Also,
refuse to start up a non-locale-enabled compilation in a database originally
initdb'd with a non-C locale. Suppress LIKE index optimization if locale
is not "C" or "POSIX" (are there any other locales where it's safe?).
Issue NOTICE during initdb if selected locale disables LIKE optimization.
it fixing Y,YY,YYY,YYYY conversion, the docs and regress tests update
are included too.
During the patch testing I found small bug in miscadmin.h in
convertstr() declaration. Here it's fixed too.
Thanks

Makes sense. Here's a new patch, now the output even looks better:

Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation. Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.
filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files). No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.
There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.
