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

3fce18084b 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.)

0eceaaf9b7 Modify COPY FROM to match the null-value string against the column value
before it is de-backslashed, not after.  This allows the null string \N
to be reliably distinguished from the data value \N (which must be
represented as \\N).  Per bug report from Manfred Koizar ... but it's
amazing this hasn't been reported before ...
Also, be consistent about encoding conversion for null string: the form
specified in the command is in the server encoding, but what is sent
to/from client must be in client encoding.  This never worked quite
right before either.

fa09ee6026 Document the always-true-but-previously-undocumented fact that PQfnumber()
will downcase the supplied field name unless it is double-quoted.  Also,
upgrade the routine's handling of double quotes to match the backend,
in particular support doubled double quotes within quoted identifiers.
Per pgsql-interfaces discussion a couple weeks ago.

15c194c1d5 Add GUC parameter check_function_bodies to control whether validation
of function bodies is done at CREATE FUNCTION time.  This is normally
true but can be set false to avoid problems with forward references,
wrong schema search path, etc.  This is just the backend patch, still
need to adjust pg_dump to make use of it.

e33f205a94 Adjust btree index build procedure so that the btree metapage looks
invalid (has the wrong magic number) until the build is entirely
complete.  This turns out to cost no additional writes in the normal
case, since we were rewriting the metapage at the end of the process
anyway.  In normal scenarios there's no real gain in security, because
a failed index build would roll back the transaction leaving an unused
index file, but for rebuilding shared system indexes this seems to add
some useful protection.

Attached are two patches:

 - installdoc.patch contains an additional paragraph on the win32 console
   codepage for the chapter "Installation on Windows"
   Due to a lack of SGML-tools, I have only edited the text and not tested
   the SGML code - please check it before merging into the CVS branch.

 - psqlcodepage.patch adds the warning about a problematic codepage to psql.

a56a016ceb Repair some REINDEX problems per recent discussions. The relcache is
now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache
indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method.  This
leaves only shared system indexes as special cases.  Remove the 'index
deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared-
index case.  Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone
mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX.  -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes)
now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates.
It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS.  Upshot: reindexing system catalogs
can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except
shared catalogs.

6767cebc6f pg_dump/pg_restore now always use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION, not \connect,
to control object ownership.  The use-set-session-authorization and
no-reconnect switches are obsolete (still accepted on the command line,
but they don't do anything).  This is a precursor to fixing handling
of CREATE SCHEMA, which will be a separate commit.
