Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation. Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.
filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files). No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.
There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.
* doc/src/sgml/installation.sgml: ditto.
* src/test/regress/README: Regenerate.
* doc/src/sgml/docguide.sgml: Explain how it was done. Explain how
INSTALL and HISTORY are (now) generated.
* doc/src/sgml/Makefile: Implement HISTORY generation to be analoguous
to INSTALL.
reference page to new configuration system. Big update to administrator's
guide, chapters Runtime environment, Client authentication, and User
management, the latter two were part of the old Security chapter.
* Let unprivileged users change their own passwords.
* The password is now an Sconst in the parser, which better reflects its text datatype and also
forces users to quote them.
* If your password is NULL you won't be written to the password file, meaning you can't connect
until you have a password set up (if you use password authentication).
* When you drop a user that owns a database you get an error. The database is not gone.
Split introduction sections into separate files to allow the legal notice
and notation sections appear in all documents without having the history
show up everplace too.
Add full list of reserved and non-reserved key words in syntax.sgml.
Add a separate chapter to the admin guide on security.
