6d673a63ed First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, and
the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be
written.  But I think all the raw info is there (indeed maybe too
verbose).

de1172fa06 Default to thread safety on, and support more CPU options. Also
make sure that a CPU option is actually chosen.

f1d37a9997 Cope with ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() not existing in older
OpenSSL libraries --- just don't call them if they're not there.  This
might possibly lead to misleading error messages, but we'll just have
to live with that.

ec4b6a81f6 Use BIO functions to avoid passing FILE * pointers to OpenSSL functions.
This fixes potential crashes on old versions of OpenSSL and the requirement on
"Applink" in new versions when building with MSVC and using different
runtimes.

b526462f9e Avoid assuming that struct varattrib_pointer doesn't get padded by the
compiler --- at least on ARM, it does.  I suspect that the varvarlena patch
has been creating larger-than-intended toast pointers all along on ARM,
but it wasn't exposed until the latest tweak added some Asserts that
calculated the expected size in a different way.  We could probably have
fixed this by adding __attribute__((packed)) as is done for ItemPointerData,
but struct varattrib_pointer isn't really all that useful anyway, so it
seems cleanest to just get rid of it and have only struct varattrib_1b_e.
Per results from buildfarm member quagga.

27b8922221 Add an extra header byte to TOAST-pointer datums to represent their size
explicitly.  This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still
smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have
painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST
pointer later on.  Per discussion with Greg Stark.

ab051bd293 Adjust recovery PS display as agreed with Simon: 'waiting for XXX'
while the restore_command does its thing, then 'recovering XXX' while
processing the segment file.  These operations are heavyweight enough
that an extra PS display set shouldn't bother anyone.

47d2347167 Properly mark mergeable/hashable equality operators (found by opr_sanity
testing).  Combine the formerly independent opclasses for the various
ISN types into opfamilies.  The latter causes some extra bleating from
opr_sanity, since the module doesn't provide complete sets of cross-type
operators, but it's still a good idea because it will give the planner
more information to work with.  The missing cross-type operators no longer
pose a risk of unexpected planner errors in 8.3, so there's no need to
insist on filling them in (and I gather it wouldn't be very sound
semantically to add them all).

591abe1b72 Remove bogus commutator marking --- the module doesn't actually supply
any commutator operator for =(chkpass,text), so this was creating a
shell operator that would fail on use.  Found by opr_sanity testing.

f6a54b8c42 Disallow CLUSTER using an invalid index (that is, one left over from a failed
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY).  Such an index might not have entries for every
heap row and thus clustering with it would result in silent data loss.
The scenario requires a pretty foolish DBA, but still ...

34b44c3ba2 Improve consistency of the error messages generated when you try to use
ALTER TABLE on a composite type or ALTER TYPE on a table's rowtype.
We already rejected these cases, but the error messages were a bit
random and didn't always provide a HINT to use the other command type.

b46bd55a6c Make archive recovery always start a new timeline, rather than only when a
recovery stop time was used.  This avoids a corner-case risk of trying to
overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL segment, and seems
simpler and cleaner all around than the original definition.  Per example
from Jon Colverson and subsequent analysis by Simon.

d5459671a3 Teach chklocale.c about a few names for frontend-only encodings,

70b9b9b788 Change initdb and CREATE DATABASE to actively reject attempts to create
databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE
locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms,
I believe).  C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course,
so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option,
but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints
caused by mismatched settings.

I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into
a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.

ffda674769 Tweak pgbench.c to remove the hidden assumption that a WIN32 machine
couldn't possibly HAVE_GETOPT.  I believe this is the most appropriate
form of the patch submitted 2007-08-07 by Hiroshi Saito, though not
having a Windows build environment I won't know for sure till I see
the buildfarm results.

314ed5de6d Define the FRONTEND symbol in postgres_fe.h, which allows us to eliminate
duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles.  We still need Makefile
control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend
src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before.

77c166ba6c Add virtual transaction IDs to CSVLOG output, so that messages coming from
the same transaction can be identified even when no regular XID was assigned.
This seems essential after addition of the lazy-XID patch.  Also some
minor code cleanup in write_csvlog().
