* Change tar -T file to tar `cat file` for BSD tar.Bruce Momjian2001-09-30

* Change tar -c -f to -cf for BSD tar.Bruce Momjian2001-09-30

* Create a GUC parameter max_files_per_process that is a configurableTom Lane2001-09-30
| | | | | | | | | upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX). The default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't affect the behavior. But on platforms where the kernel promises far more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of file descriptors. See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers around 23-Dec-2000.
* Use <mediaobject> instead of <graphic> for forward compatibility. Be morePeter Eisentraut2001-09-30
| | | | | flexible about the extension of the graphic files, allow for other formats in print output. (Generating these formats is not implemented yet.)
* Fix *.gif expansion to be empty when no gif files are used.Peter Eisentraut2001-09-30
|
* Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate betweenTom Lane2001-09-29
| | | | | | | | | existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared lock but has few other fancy features. Replace most uses of spinlocks with lightweight locks. All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff code to work efficiently given this assumption. All per my proposal on pghackers 26-Sep-01.
* Fix markup to allow compilation. The chapters on failure and recoveryThomas G. Lockhart2001-09-28
| | | | need more work, but at least they have something now.
* Add information on new timestamp and timestamptz data types.Thomas G. Lockhart2001-09-28
| | | | Start chapter on recovery techniques. Still needs work for release.
* Remove useless LockDisable() function and associated overhead, per myTom Lane2001-09-27
| | | | proposal of 26-Aug.
* Rename collect_* options to more user-friendly names.Peter Eisentraut2001-09-23

* One more LIMIT doc update.Bruce Momjian2001-09-23

* Add mention of log file rotation with mention of syslog SIGHUP capability.Bruce Momjian2001-09-23

* For consistency with the rest of PostgreSQL, rename BLOBs to large objectsPeter Eisentraut2001-09-21

* Add 'reload' option to pg_ctl to send SIGHUP to the postmaster.Tom Lane2001-09-21
|
* Code review for MD5 authorization patch. Clean up some breakageTom Lane2001-09-21
| | | | (salts were always zero!?), add much missing documentation.
* Readd test/regress/README file, this time with a well-defined and simplePeter Eisentraut2001-09-21
| | | | rule to remake it when necessary.
* Add an overall timeout on the client authentication cycle, so thatTom Lane2001-09-21
| | | | | | | a hung client or lost connection can't indefinitely block a postmaster child (not to mention the possibility of deliberate DoS attacks). Timeout is controlled by new authentication_timeout GUC variable, which I set to 60 seconds by default ... does that seem reasonable?
* Give VACUUM its own GUC parameter for memory usage, rather thanTom Lane2001-09-21
| | | | | piggybacking on SortMem. Add documentation for some recently-added GUC parameters that had so far escaped it.
* Document the sign() function.Peter Eisentraut2001-09-20
|
* Provide tunable knob for x = NULL -> x IS NULL transformation, default to off.Peter Eisentraut2001-09-20
|
* Generate index.html as the root file name of the documentation set,Peter Eisentraut2001-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | rather than making index.html a symlink to the autogenerated name. Fixes fatal problems with tar programs that don't handle symlinks very well (MacOS X). (The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.) Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list for packaging. Put graphics in the right place while building, not while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.
* EXPLAIN ANALYZE feature to measure and show actual runtimes and tupleTom Lane2001-09-18
| | | | | counts alongside the planner's estimates. By Martijn van Oosterhout, with some further work by Tom Lane.

|
* Install dynamically loadable modules into a private subdirectoryPeter Eisentraut2001-09-16
| | | | | | | | | under libdir, for a cleaner separation in the installation layout and compatibility with binary packaging standards. Point backend's default search location there. The contrib modules are also installed in the said location, giving them the benefit of the default search path as well. No changes in user interface nevertheless.
