"verify-ca" and "verify-full".
Since "prefer" remains the default, this will make certificate validation
off by default, which should lead to less upgrade issues.

free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).
This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.
Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.
ctype are now more like encoding, stored in new datcollate and datctype
columns in pg_database.
This is a stripped-down version of Radek Strnad's patch, with further
changes by me.
do CancelBackup at a sane place, fix some oversights in the state transitions,
allow only superusers to connect while we are waiting for backup mode to end.
have pg_ctl warn about this.
Cancel running online backups (by renaming the backup_label file,
thus rendering the backup useless) when shutting down in fast mode.

key files that are similar to the one for the postmaster's data directory
permissions check. (I chose to standardize on that one since it's the most
heavily used and presumably best-wordsmithed by now.) Also eliminate explicit
tests on file ownership in these places, since the ensuing read attempt must
fail anyway if it's wrong, and there seems no value in issuing the same error
message for distinct problems. (But I left in the explicit ownership test in
postmaster.c, since it had its own error message anyway.) Also be more
specific in the documentation's descriptions of these checks. Per a gripe
from Kevin Hunter.
ssh -L 3333:foo.com:5432 joe@foo.com
I think this should be changed to
ssh -L 3333:localhost:5432 joe@foo.com
The reason is that this assumes the postgres server on foo.com allows
connections from foo.com, which is not allowed by the default
listen_addresses setting. Add more detail explaining this.
pointed out by Faheem Mitha
Also change the example port number 3333 to 63333 so no one can complain
that we are stealing a reserved port number.
