Simon Riggs 0192abc4d7 Relax locking during GetCurrentVirtualXIDs(). Earlier improvements
to handling of btree delete records mean that all snapshot
conflicts on standby now have a valid, useful latestRemovedXid.
Our earlier approach using LW_EXCLUSIVE was useful when we didnt
always have a valid value, though is no longer useful or necessary.
Asserts added to code path to prove and ensure this is the case.
This will reduce contention and improve performance of larger Hot
Standby servers.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
