points out how silly it is to use Autoconf to test for a preprocessor
symbol, when one can equally easily #ifdef on the symbol itself.
Accordingly, revert configure to prior state and do it that way.
system supports SO_PEERCRED requests for Unix sockets. This is an
amalgamation of patches submitted by Helge Bahmann and Oliver Elphick,
with some editorializing by yours truly.
choice of compiler and flags, uninstall, and peculiar Python installation
layouts for PyGreSql. Also install into site-packages now, as officially
recommended. And pgdb.py is also installed now, used to be forgotten.
Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.
psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.
should have been done
generate a new Changelog from rc4, which is nice and short ... one python
interface change
tag configure as 7.1, for generating the packages ...
This is it folks ... Release 7.1 is officially here ...
accepts nnnLL syntax for long long constants. If so, decorate the CRC64
constants with LL to avoid warnings and/or erroneous results from certain
non-standards-compliant compilers.
(said redirection required when run).
After checking using cvsweb, removed the offending conflict.
Rebuilt configure using autoconf, and it now works fine.
bits in JDBC & the first set of tools into contrib.
This is the third, and deals with enabling JDBC to be compiled with the main
source.
What it does is add a new option to configure: --with-java
This option tells configure to look for ant (our build tool of choice) and
if found, it then compiles both the JDBC driver and the new tools as part
of the normal make.
Also, when the postgresql install is done, all the .jar files are also
installed into the ${PGLIB}/java directory (thought best to keep then separate)
Now I had some conflicts when this applied so could someone please double check
that everything is ok?

waste of cycles on single-CPU machines, and of dubious utility on multi-CPU
machines too.
Tweak s_lock_stuck so that caller can specify timeout interval, and
increase interval before declaring stuck spinlock for buffer locks and XLOG
locks.
On systems that have fdatasync(), use that rather than fsync() to sync WAL
log writes. Ensure that WAL file is entirely allocated during XLogFileInit.
eliminates a raft of portability issues, including whether sys_nerr
exists, whether the platform has any valid negative errnos, etc. The
downside is minimal: errno shouldn't ever contain an invalid value anyway,
and if it does, reasonably modern versions of strerror will not choke.
This rangecheck idea seemed good at the time, but it's clearly a net loss,
and I apologize to all concerned for having ever put it in.
large-ish bugs that Tom and Vadim were able to fix, but to avoid any
confusion, beta2 was removed ... and for tag'ng purposes, beta3 is being
created ...
