6de93c0529 Update preface.
Use question marks rather than brackets to delimit optional elements in
Tcl synopses.

Fix stylesheet misfeature leading to excessively long cross-reference text
when linking to a different "part".

Remove <body> attributes -- CSS stylesheets should handle that.

Improve bibliography formatting.

Add fast-forward links for more convenient navigation.

48beecda7c Remove geqo_random_seed parameter. Having geqo reset the global random()
sequence every time it's called is bogus --- it interferes with user
control over the seed, and actually decreases randomness overall
(because a seed based on time(NULL) is pretty predictable).  If you really
want a reproducible result from geqo, do 'set seed = 0' before planning
a query.

ee4ae6ceb2 Add note that a for loop where the lower bound is greater than the upper
bound is valid but does nothing.

5f65345a57 Do not pass server_encoding to the client.
libpq, talking to an old server, should assume SQL_ASCII as the default
client encoding, because that is what the server will actually use (not
the server encoding).

ACT and ACST were already present.  AMT and AMST conflict with the
existing entries for Armenia; no change there for the moment.

a9f9a97906 I almost forgot mark in docs "to_char(interval)" as deprecated function.
This useless routine will removed in 7.5. It's already discussed (see
hackers list archive).

41477b9a83 This patch makes two minor fixes to the docs: (1) fixes a
spelling mistake in the PREPARE ref page (2) Makes some
English more consistent, in the ref pages for some of the
client apps (3) Adds a link to the libpq docs in the
vacuumdb ref page.

e7f266e5fe There is a misstatement in the CLOSE reference page, now that we
have cursors that might outlive their creating transactions. A
patch is attached that fixes this (suggestions on better wording
are welcome).

2326ade600 I just noticed that the sample pg_hba.conf in the docs doesn't contain
any use of CIDR masks - here's a patch that adds  a couple of  sample
lines and associated comments.

c01641f8ae libpq failed to cope with COPY FROM STDIN if the command was issued
via extended query protocol, because it sends Sync right after Execute
without realizing that the command to be executed is COPY.  There seems
to be no reasonable way for it to realize that, either, so the best fix
seems to be to make the backend ignore Sync during copy-in mode.  Bit of
a wart on the protocol, but little alternative.  Also, libpq must send
another Sync after terminating the COPY, if the command was issued via
Execute.

0be731ad44 Add PQexecPrepared() and PQsendQueryPrepared() functions, to allow
libpq users to perform Bind/Execute of previously prepared statements.
Per yesterday's discussion, this offers enough performance improvement
to justify bending the 'no new features during beta' rule.

1d1df53f82 Applied doc patch for the jdbc docs submitted by Nic Ferrier for functionality
he supplied a few months ago, but didn't get around to docing until now.  And
he also added some doc for calling stored functions in general from jdbc that was missing.
