match because they contain a null join key (and the join operator is
known strict). Improves performance significantly when the inner
relation contains a lot of nulls, as per bug #2930.
handy to prevent core dump files from disappearing, but it's useless now
because (a) we don't drop core in individual DB subdirectories anymore,
and (b) CREATE DATABASE forces an internal checkpoint anyway.

plus regression tests. Documentation and perhaps some additional
functionality will come later. Catversion bumped.

shutdown callbacks are called at the right times, we have to have a separate
EState for each level of subtransaction. Per "TupleDesc reference leak" bug

Although I'm convinced the code is wrong as far back as 8.0, it doesn't seem
that there are any ways for the problem to really manifest before 8.2: AFAICS,
8.0 and 8.1 only use the ExprContextCallback mechanism to handle set-returning
functions, which cannot usefully be executed in a "simple expression" anyway.
Hence, no backpatch before 8.2 --- the risk of unforeseen breakage seems
to outweigh the chance of fixing something.
activity quiesce. Possibly this will fix the large increase in
non-reproducible stats test failures we've noted since turning on
stats_row_level by default.
versus varchar[]. This oversight probably explains Ryan Holmes' recent
complaint --- he was getting a generic selectivity estimate instead of
anything intelligent.
exactly at the point where we need to insert a new item, the calculation used
the wrong size for the "high key" of the new left page. This could lead to
choosing an unworkable split, resulting in "PANIC: failed to add item to the
left sibling" (or "right sibling") failure. Although this bug has been there
a long time, it's very difficult to trigger a failure before 8.2, since there
was generally a lot of free space on both sides of a chosen split. In 8.2,
where the user-selected fill factor determines how much free space the code
tries to leave, an unworkable split is much more likely. Report by Joe
Conway, diagnosis and fix by Heikki Linnakangas.

for UDP sockets :-(. This should resolve problems with stats collection

Patch probably needs to be back-ported to 8.1 and 8.0, but first let's
see if it makes the buildfarm happy...

- Add new SQL command SET XML OPTION (also available via regular GUC) to
control the DOCUMENT vs. CONTENT option in implicit parsing and
serialization operations.
- Subtle corrections in the handling of the standalone property in
xmlroot().
- Allow xmlroot() to work on content fragments.
- Subtle corrections in the handling of the version property in
xmlconcat().
- Code refactoring for producing XML declarations.
