points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README file has been updated to include documentation on the new stuff. There are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers. Bruno Wolff III |

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 several language bindings, including C, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as drivers for JDBC. As of v7.3, the ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved over to the PostgreSQL Projects WebSite @ http://gborg.postgresql.org. 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/.
