Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Tom Lane	252d2b1e4e	Split the release notes into a separate file for each (active) major branch, ... as per my recent proposal. release.sgml itself is now just a stub that should change rarely; ideally, only once per major release to add a new include line. Most editing work will occur in the release-N.N.sgml files. To update a back branch for a minor release, just copy the appropriate release-N.N.sgml file(s) into the back branch. This commit doesn't change the end-product documentation at all, only the source layout. However, it makes it easy to start omitting ancient information from newer branches' documentation, should we ever decide to do that.	17 years ago

Tom Lane	7e23bd31d1	Update back-branch release notes.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	4b2315f493	Install a more robust solution for the problem of infinite error-processing ... recursion when we are unable to convert a localized error message to the client's encoding. We've been over this ground before, but as reported by Ibrar Ahmed, it still didn't work in the case of conversion failures for the conversion-failure message itself :-(. Fix by installing a "circuit breaker" that disables attempts to localize this message once we get into recursion trouble. Patch all supported branches, because it is in fact broken in all of them; though I had to add some missing translations to the older branches in order to expose the failure in the particular test case I was using.	17 years ago

Tom Lane	d2ab94dac2	Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Laurent Birtz, by postponing ... pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end of the current transaction. This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there was before. Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY. There is a small potential incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting row insertion or deletion, where before it would have. It seems unlikely that anyone would be depending on that, though. This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction. That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.	18 years ago
