cf1cba3110 Release notes for 10.2, 9.6.7, 9.5.11, 9.4.16, 9.3.21. 2018-02-04 15:13:44 -05:00

3c49c6facb Convert documentation to DocBook XML
Since some preparation work had already been done, the only source
changes left were changing empty-element tags like <xref linkend="foo">
to <xref linkend="foo"/>, and changing the DOCTYPE.

The source files are still named *.sgml, but they are actually XML files
now.  Renaming could be considered later.

In the build system, the intermediate step to convert from SGML to XML
is removed.  Everything is build straight from the source files again.
The OpenSP (or the old SP) package is no longer needed.

The documentation toolchain instructions are updated and are much
simpler now.

b35b185bf7 Release notes for 10.1, 9.6.6, 9.5.10, 9.4.15, 9.3.20, 9.2.24.
In the v10 branch, also back-patch the effects of 1ff01b390 and c29c57890
on these files, to reduce future maintenance issues.  (I'd do it further
back, except that the 9.X branches differ anyway due to xlog-to-wal
link tag renaming.)

1ff01b3902 Convert SGML IDs to lower case
IDs in SGML are case insensitive, and we have accumulated a mix of upper
and lower case IDs, including different variants of the same ID.  In
XML, these will be case sensitive, so we need to fix up those
differences.  Going to all lower case seems most straightforward, and
the current build process already makes all anchors and lower case
anyway during the SGML->XML conversion, so this doesn't create any
difference in the output right now.  A future XML-only build process
would, however, maintain any mixed case ID spellings in the output, so
that is another reason to clean this up beforehand.

c29c578908 Don't use SGML empty tags
For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore,
replace by the full tag name.  Add a warning option to catch future
occurrences.

59597e6485 Don't recommend "DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE".
It drops objects outside information_schema that depend on objects
inside information_schema.  For example, it will drop a user-defined
view if the view query refers to information_schema.

da6c4f6ca8 Refer to OS X as "macOS", except for the port name which is still "darwin".
We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"
or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't
Apple users.  Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead
to establish a consistent naming pattern.  Also, avoid the use of the
ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not
seem desirable to change.  (In short, this patch touches documentation and
comments, but no actual code.)

I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either.  I suspect those are
obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway.

I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but
those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended
up changing them too.  Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this,
so why shouldn't we be?

a9ba6195f1 Fix ordering/categorization of some recently-added system views.
Somebody added pg_replication_origin, pg_replication_origin_status and
pg_replication_slots to catalogs.sgml without a whole lot of concern for
either alphabetical order or the difference between a table and a view.
Clean up the mess.

Back-patch to 9.5, not so much because this is critical as because if
I don't it will result in a cross-branch divergence in release-9.5.sgml,
which would be a maintenance hazard.

than a placeholder here.

(I meant to get this done before beta2 was wrapped, but got distracted by
PDF build problems.  Better late than never.)

9042f58342 Rename PQsslAttributes() to PQsslAttributeNames(), and const-ify fully.
Per discussion, the original name was a bit misleading, and
PQsslAttributeNames() seems more apropos.  It's not quite too late to
change this in 9.5, so let's change it while we can.

Also, make sure that the pointer array is const, not only the pointed-to
strings.

Minor documentation wordsmithing while at it.

Lars Kanis, slight adjustments by me

a93545e13f Remove xpath namespace-handling change from 9.5 release notes.
Although commit 79af9a1d2 was initially applied to HEAD only, we later
back-patched the change into all branches (commits 6bbf75192 et al).
So it's not a new behavior in 9.5 and should not be release-noted here.
