might want to update that section.

XLOG (and related) changes:
...
* Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control.
On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer one
is unreadable. Also, a physical copy of the newest checkpoint record
is kept in pg_control for possible use in disaster recovery (ie,
complete loss of pg_xlog). Also add a version number for pg_control
itself. Remove archdir from pg_control; it ought to be a GUC
parameter, not a special case (not that it's implemented yet anyway).
* Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been entered
in the WAL log since the last one. This is not so much to avoid I/O
as to make it actually useful to keep track of the last two
checkpoints. If the things are right next to each other then there's
not a lot of redundancy gained...
* Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs
on alternate bytes. Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard.
* Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ = 32k.
* Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation. (This is of
dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.)
* Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG file
wraparound at the 4 gig mark.
* Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move file
format declarations out to include files where planned contrib
utilities can get at them.
* Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments or
every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first. It is also
possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the postmaster
(undocumented feature...)
* Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key and ID
in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to ensure that no
processes are still connected to old shmem block (if it still exists).
* Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for emergency
stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities. Clean up signal
handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities launched by postmaster
will react to signals better.
* Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as added
insurance against running it in parallel with live postmaster.

Implement COMMIT_SIBLINGS parameter to allow pre-commit delay to occur

only if at least N other backends currently have open transactions. This
is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay might be
profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all. Note that the default
COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does nothing unless that
setting is changed.
Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as a system-wide setting. It's no longer safe to
allow that to be set per-backend, since we may be relying on some other
backend's fsync to have synced the WAL log.

Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there
...
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

It looks Ok, but it has one unnecessary step. There is no need to do the "mv

privkey.pem cert.pem.pw" if you just use "privkey.pem" in the following
openssl command (e.g. openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out cert.pem".
