language handler to the 'Internals' area, per my proposal of yesterday.
Clean up the trigger documentation a bit. Push SPI chapter to the end
of its part, and reorder the Internals chapters into what seems a more
sensible order (at the moment anyway).
chapters on extending types, operators, and aggregates into the extending
functions chapter. Move the information on how to call table functions
into the queries chapter. Remove some outdated information that is
already present in a better form in other parts of the documentation.
Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a
framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic
SQL operations. Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into
DDL chapter (for now).
Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in
"devel".
Allow cross-book references with entities &cite-user; etc.
All of the internal tags are of the latter.
The other thing I noticed is that most of the quick examples in the file
use a para and synopsis. Is there a reason we're not using <example/> ?

Remove ODBC-compatible empty parentheses from calls to SQL99 functions
for which these parentheses do not match the standard.
Update the ODBC driver to ensure compatibility with the ODBC standard
for these functions (e.g. CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_USER, etc).
Include a new appendix in the User's Guide which lists the labeled features
for SQL99 (the labeled features replaced the "basic", "intermediate",
and "advanced" categories from SQL92). features.sgml does not yet split
this list into "supported" and "unsupported" lists.
the Admin Guide about routine maintenance tasks. Currently this only
discusses the various reasons for doing VACUUM, but perhaps it could be
fleshed out with topics like log rotation.
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.
Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation. Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.
filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files). No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.
There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.
