Tom Lane 21fda22ec4 Change CRCs in WAL records from 64bit to 32bit for performance reasons.
Instead of a separate CRC on each backup block, include backup blocks
in their parent WAL record's CRC; this is important to ensure that the
backup block really goes with the WAL record, ie there was not a page
tear right at the start of the backup block.  Implement a simple form
of compression of backup blocks: drop any run of zeroes starting at
pd_lower, so as not to store the unused 'hole' that commonly exists in
PG heap and index pages.  Tweak PageRepairFragmentation and related
routines to ensure they keep the unused space zeroed, so that the above
compression method remains effective.  All per recent discussions.

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.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the
PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate
maintenance.  A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

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
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
