1e22e60505 Patch of Win32 Encoding problem for server messages using
FormatMessage() (This should have been in 8.2.0, patched to 8.2.X and
HEAD):

I think this problem to be complex....
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-11/msg00042.php

FormatMessage of windows cannot consider the encoding of the database.
However, I should try the solution now. It is necessary to clear the
problem.

Multi character-code exists together in message and log. It doesn't
consider
the data base encoding that the user intended....

The user in multi-byte country can try this.
http://inet.winpg.jp/~saito/pg_bug/MessageCheck.c

That is, it is likely to become it in this manner.(Japanese)

406d028a9b Fix LIMIT/OFFSET for null limit values. This worked before 8.2 but was broken
by the change to make limit values int8 instead of int4.  (Specifically, you
can do DatumGetInt32 safely on a null value, but not DatumGetInt64.)  Per
bug #2803 from Greg Johnson.

c184470be3 Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction

da6daee216 Adjust the description of locking to clarify that locks held by a
subtransaction are released if the subtransaction aborts --- in user-level
terminology, this means either rolling back to a savepoint or escaping from
a plpgsql exception block.  Per recent suggestion from Simon.

5f60086e10 Minor adjustments to make failures in startup/shutdown behave more cleanly.
StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG no longer need to be critical sections, because
in all contexts where they are invoked, elog(ERROR) would be translated to
elog(FATAL) anyway.  (One change in bgwriter.c is needed to make this true:
set ExitOnAnyError before trying to exit.  This is a good fix anyway since
the existing code would have gone into an infinite loop on elog(ERROR) during
shutdown.)  That avoids a misleading report of PANIC during semi-orderly
failures.  Modify the postmaster to include the startup process in the set of
processes that get SIGTERM when a fast shutdown is requested, and also fix it
to not try to restart the bgwriter if the bgwriter fails while trying to write
the shutdown checkpoint.  Net result is that "pg_ctl stop -m fast" does
something reasonable for a system in warm standby mode, and so should Unix
system shutdown (ie, universal SIGTERM).  Per gripe from Stephen Harris and
some corner-case testing of my own.

64353640e8 Mark to_char(timestamp without timezone) as stable, not immutable, since its
result now depends on the lc_messages setting, as noted by Bruce.
Also, mark to_number() and the numeric-type variants of to_char() as stable,
because their results depend on lc_numeric; this is a longstanding oversight.
Also, mark to_date() and to_char(interval) as stable; although these appear
not to depend on any GUC variables as of CVS HEAD, that seems a property
unlikely to survive future improvements.  It seems best to mark all the
formatting functions stable and be done with it.
catversion not bumped, because this does not seem critical enough to force
a post-RC1 initdb, and anyway we cannot do so in the back branches.
