PQregisterThreadLock().
I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.
I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0);

This is bad because:
regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0);
ERROR: date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00"
The last example now works.
like '23:59:60' because of fractional-second roundoff problems. Trying
to control this upstream of the actual display code was hopeless; the right
way is to explicitly round fractional seconds in the display code and then
refigure the results if the fraction rounds up to 1. Per bug #1927.
to call krb5_sname_to_principal() always. Also, use krb_srvname rather
than the hardwired string 'postgres' as the appl_version string in the
krb5_sendauth/recvauth calls, to avoid breaking compatibility with PG

Windows. The test itself is bypassed in configure as discussed, and
libpq has been updated appropriately to allow it to build in thread-safe
mode.

pgtypeslib: (1) we need to check the return value of sub_abs() (2) we
need to check the return value of 4 calls to digitbuf_alloc().

non-NULL in this function, so there is no need to check for it (2) we
should check the return value of pgtypes_strdup(). Patch from Eric
Astor at EnterpriseDB, with slight cleanup by myself, per a report
from the Coverity tool.
or zero-filled; therefore zero-filling it via memset() is pointless.
(I think setting `errno' is probably a waste of cycles as well, but I
haven't changed that.)
malloc() succeeded but the second failed, the buffer allocated by the
first malloc() would be leaked. Fix this by allocating both buffers
via a single malloc(), as suggested by Tom.

unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality. However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area. This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.
Patch by Dave Page, minor editing by Tom Lane. All per recent
pghackers discussions.
a descriptor that uses the current transaction snapshot, rather than
SnapshotNow as it did before (and still does if INV_WRITE is set).
This means pg_dump will now dump a consistent snapshot of large object
contents, as it never could do before. Also, add a lo_create() function
that is similar to lo_creat() but allows the desired OID of the large
object to be specified. This will simplify pg_restore considerably
(but I'll fix that in a separate commit).
syntax for database connection parameters. It has been inside an
#ifdef NOT_USED block since 2001 or so and is marked as "broken", so
I don't think it is likely to be rehabilitated any time soon.
patch adds missing checks to the call sites of malloc(), strdup(),
PQmakeEmptyPGresult(), pqResultAlloc(), and pqResultStrdup(), and updates
the documentation. Per original report from Volkan Yazici about
PQmakeEmptyPGresult() not checking for malloc() failure.

Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:
1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.
2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.
3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.
4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)

Display only 9 not 10 digits of precision for timestamp values when
using non-integer timestamps. This prevents the display of rounding
errors for common values like days < 32.
memset() or MemSet() to a char *. For one, memset()'s first argument is
a void *, and further void * can be implicitly coerced to/from any other
pointer type.
Document use of macros for pg_printf functions.
Bump major versions of all interfaces to handle movement of get_progname
from libpq to libpgport in 8.0, and probably other libpgport changes in 8.1.
