client-side AUTOCOMMIT mode now: '\set AUTOCOMMIT off' supports
SQL-spec commit behavior. Get rid of LO_TRANSACTION hack --- the
LO operations just work now, using libpq's ability to track the
transaction status. Add a VERBOSE variable to control verboseness
of error message display, and add a %T prompt-string code to show
current transaction-block status. Superuser state display in the
prompt string correctly follows SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands.
Control-C works to get out of COPY IN state.
comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq. Create
a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes
on array columns.
Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array
operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call.
Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions.
Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript
functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become
supported functions.
Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or
zero-dimensional arrays.

Regression tests for IPv6 operations added.
Documentation updated to document IPv6 bits.
Stop treating IPv4 as an "unsigned int" and IPv6 as an array of
characters. Instead, always use the array of characters so we
can have one function fits all. This makes bitncmp(), addressOK(),
and several other functions "just work" on both address families.
add family() function which returns integer 4 or 6 for IPv4 or
IPv6. (See examples below) Note that to add this new function
you will need to dump/initdb/reload or find the correct magic
to add the function to the postgresql function catalogs.
IPv4 addresses always sort before IPv6.
On disk we use AF_INET for IPv4, and AF_INET+1 for IPv6 addresses.
This prevents the need for a dump and reload, but lets IPv6 parsing
work on machines without AF_INET6.
To select all IPv4 addresses from a table:
select * from foo where family(addr) = 4 ...
Order by and other bits should all work.
