line 1324:
"left-hand" should be "right-hand"
BTW: new document looks very good!
And the new configure/build process seems much better then before!
Thanks!

There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner. Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.
Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default. Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...
selectivity functions and make the r-tree operators use them. The
estimation functions themselves are just stubs, unfortunately, but
perhaps someday someone will make them compute realistic estimates.
Change pg_am so that the optimizer can reliably tell the difference
between ordered and unordered indexes --- before it would think that
an r-tree index can be scanned in '<<' order, which is not right AFAIK.
Repair broken negator links for network_sup and related ops.
Initdb forced. This might be my last initdb force for 7.0 ... hope so
anyway ...
regression tests so I prepared a set of expected
files to make things look OK.
There's also a file to account for minor variations
in the geopmetry output and a resultmap patch to
pull them all together.
With these changes PostgreSQL, from CVS, builds and
regression tests (runcheck) cleanly.

pghackers discussion of 5-Jan-2000. The amopselect and amopnpages
estimators are gone, and in their place is a per-AM amcostestimate
procedure (linked to from pg_am, not pg_amop).
lisp.sgml is a placeholder for Eric Marsden's upcoming contribution.
catalogs.sgml is not yet marked up or integrated.
It should perhaps become an appendix.
