Alvaro Herrera	a3ff937359	Change π to plain "pi" in index entry, to avoid double escaping issues.	19 years ago
Alvaro Herrera	2816b2cdd2	Clean up the doc makefile for draft HTML generation. It no longer works ... to do "make DRAFT=Y html"; you need to use "make draft" (which was also supported previously).	19 years ago

Tom Lane	87dfa0d9ae	Stamp 8.3beta1, except in configure.in/configure.	19 years ago
Neil Conway	0b3f5ac43d	Two fixes for the release notes from Guillaume Smet. In passing, make ... a minor markup improvement.	19 years ago
Neil Conway	77b0f459c8	First pass at SGML-ifying the 8.3 release notes. Plenty of improvements ... left to made, but this is a start.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	0a04109d60	Second pass at 8.3 release notes: put items in a bit more logical order ... where possible, add overview and incompatibilities lists, minor cleanups. The SGML-ification still leaves much to be desired.	19 years ago
Neil Conway	a522db7d62	Various minor improvements to the 8.3 release notes.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	bda5750a33	Some editorial improvements for recently-added ALTER SEQUENCE/VIEW ... documentation. Heikki and Tom	19 years ago
Tom Lane	6d673a63ed	First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, and ... the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be written. But I think all the raw info is there (indeed maybe too verbose).	19 years ago
Tom Lane	eb9f280ca7	Add catalogs.sgml documentation for text search catalogs.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	5a95c560f0	Add note warning against use of pre-8.4 multithreaded Tcl.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	27b8922221	Add an extra header byte to TOAST-pointer datums to represent their size ... explicitly. This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST pointer later on. Per discussion with Greg Stark.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	b46bd55a6c	Make archive recovery always start a new timeline, rather than only when a ... recovery stop time was used. This avoids a corner-case risk of trying to overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL segment, and seems simpler and cleaner all around than the original definition. Per example from Jon Colverson and subsequent analysis by Simon.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	70b9b9b788	Change initdb and CREATE DATABASE to actively reject attempts to create ... databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms, I believe). C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course, so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option, but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints caused by mismatched settings. I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.	19 years ago
Bruce Momjian	ae0b90f223	Remove: ... < * SQL*Net listener that makes PostgreSQL appear as an Oracle database < to clients	19 years ago
Tom Lane	77c166ba6c	Add virtual transaction IDs to CSVLOG output, so that messages coming from ... the same transaction can be identified even when no regular XID was assigned. This seems essential after addition of the lazy-XID patch. Also some minor code cleanup in write_csvlog().	19 years ago
Bruce Momjian	03a91e0d10	Lowercase all mentions of "PostgreSQL" in URLs, per Magnus.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	f18dfc4835	Minor improvements in backup and recovery: ... - create a separate archive_mode GUC, on which archive_command is dependent - %r option in recovery.conf sends last restartpoint to recovery command - %r used in pg_standby, updated README - minor other code cleanup in pg_standby - doc on Warm Standby now mentions pg_standby and %r - log_restartpoints recovery option emits LOG message at each restartpoint - end of recovery now displays last transaction end time, as requested by Warren Little; also shown at each restartpoint - restart archiver if needed to carry away WAL files at shutdown Simon Riggs	19 years ago
Bruce Momjian	80963144ad	Rename "PostgreSQL" to "Postgres" in 3 places.	19 years ago
Bruce Momjian	9692324734	Rename "PostgreSQL" to "Postgres" in 7 places in the FAQ.	19 years ago
Bruce Momjian	10e1b9df5c	Add: ... > * Implement Boyer-Moore searching in strpos() > > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2007-08/msg00012.php	19 years ago
Bruce Momjian	1b57b8bfdc	Document that libpq's PQntuples() might overflow.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	6f5c38dcd0	Just-in-time background writing strategy. This code avoids re-scanning ... buffers that cannot possibly need to be cleaned, and estimates how many buffers it should try to clean based on moving averages of recent allocation requests and density of reusable buffers. The patch also adds a couple more columns to pg_stat_bgwriter to help measure the effectiveness of the bgwriter. Greg Smith, building on his own work and ideas from several other people, in particular a much older patch from Itagaki Takahiro.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	48f7e64395	Simplify and rename some GUC variables, per various recent discussions: ... * stats_start_collector goes away; we always start the collector process, unless prevented by a problem with setting up the stats UDP socket. * stats_reset_on_server_start goes away; it seems useless in view of the availability of pg_stat_reset(). * stats_block_level and stats_row_level are merged into a single variable "track_counts", which controls all reports sent to the collector process. * stats_command_string is renamed to track_activities. * log_autovacuum is renamed to log_autovacuum_min_duration to better reflect its meaning. The log_autovacuum change is not a compatibility issue since it didn't exist before 8.3 anyway. The other changes need to be release-noted.	19 years ago
