+ - Synced preproc.y with gram.y for locking statements.
+ - Set version to 2.4.5
- the first patch is just to preven listing the perl warning in the
make output unless it is actually emitted by the make. this may
prevent new users from being confused by the warning in their output
- the second patch (to 2 files) just enables building/installing
pgaccess if TCL and TK are available. a Makefile is created to do
this, but you may wish to change the heading information in it since
I just copied another Makefile to use as a template.
I hope these make it into 6.4.1.

6.4.1. Here is the list:
- The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
in other platforms.
- The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
differences in the error messages, are fixed.
- The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.
- Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
specific to DEC C.
- There is a (very basic) Digital Unix specific FAQ in
doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.

missed before the release. It's simply a symbol that is undefined. This
patch defines this symbol in "win32.h", so it should have no effect on any
other platforms. It should go into 6.4.1 if possible, since compilation is
completely broken without it.
I am also attaching a patch for the "win32.mak" file - it leaves a file
behind when doing "make clean" after the library is built on Visual C++ 6.0.
This is not at all as urgent, but I don't see it breaking here, so I think
it might as well go in there too?

where you state a format and arguments. the old behavior required
each appendStringInfo to have to have a sprintf() before it if any
formatting was required.
Also shortened several instances where there were multiple appendStringInfo()
calls in a row, doing nothing more then adding one more word to the String,
instead of doing them all in one call.
support. Included patches will solve it and should be applied to
both trees. Also, it fix the problem with \c command of psql when
switching different encoding databases.
Regression tests passed.

Fix one usage of substr() which mapped to the "Oracle compatibility" funcs

Add more DESC() entries for conversion functions.

Label internal bpchar types as "character" and varchar types as
"character varying" to be less Postgres-specific. These types map to
the SQL92 definitions anyway.
Redefine g_force_quotes to be the local variable force_quotes.

These should help with handling the single-byte internal "char" type.

Included #error precompiler macros to catch cases where neither is defined

a gcc-ism.

Shame, shame.
This is the default, but the new flag will allow overriding an alias,
for example. So psql -n -N will put in the double quotes,
and psql -n can be an alias for psql.
Also, add a few braces around a nested single-line conditional construct
to suppress compiler warnings about "an ambiguous else".

Now FreeBSD 2.X is not supported..., so I added its entry.
If ELF_SYSTEM is set, gmake treat it defined even though
it is "false". So nothing should be set to use "ifdef".
BSD_SHLIB etc. may have same problems.
* Makefile.shlib
As you said, FreeBSD entry is much like BSD's.
I only added ELF_SYSTEM code.
