Cross-data-type comparisons are now indexable by btrees, pursuant to my
...
pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison
operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support.
The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of
the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event;
it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero
when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the
long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.

When a superuser does GRANT or REVOKE on an object he doesn't own,
...
process the command as though it were issued by the object owner.
This prevents creating weird scenarios in which the same privileges
may appear to flow from different sources, and ensures that a superuser
can in fact revoke all privileges if he wants to. In particular this
means that the regression tests work when run by a superuser other than
the original bootstrap userid. Per report from Larry Rosenman.

I have run pg_autovacuum on AIX, so that can, at least loosely, be
...
considered "tested."
And I have turned all of the 7.4 HISTORY material into DocBook for
release.sgml

Attached is a doc patch that does this. The way I've worded it may not
be the best, though.

About section 8.5.1.5. ("Special Values"):
...
I suggest adding LOCALTIMESTAMP and LOCALTIME to the first paragraph.
Maybe it should be phrased as:
The following SQL-compatible functions can be used to obtain
current datetime-related values: CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME,
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP.
(See Section 9.8.4.)
