"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.
(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
it simplifies/changes several makefiles.
(2) the documentation reflects the change.
(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

bigint variants). Clean up some inconsistencies in error message wording.
Fix scanint8 to allow trailing whitespace in INT64_MIN case. Update
int8-exp-three-digits.out, which seems to have been ignored by the last
couple of people to modify the int8 regression test, and remove
int8-exp-three-digits-win32.out which is thereby exposed as redundant.
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code
for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect
that case cleanly.
I haven't mentioned any of
~/.postgresql/{root.crt,postgresql.crt,postresql.key} even though they
are checked for in the code, since they do not appear to be supported. I
base this on discussions in pgsql-hackers.

Given that PostgreSQL will output a message complaining about it's
absence if you're using SSL mode, I feel it's important that it gets a
mention in the documentation at some point.

mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than
using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh
snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE
functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested
regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so
the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.)
As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the
same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any
action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly
nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.
rather than when returning to the idle loop. This makes no particular
difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference
for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before
the calling function is allowed to proceed. This responds to numerous
complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-09/msg00020.php, and
appears to be required by the SQL99 spec.
Also take the opportunity to simplify the data structures used for the
pending-trigger list, rename them for more clarity, and squeeze out a
bit of space.
<P>In pre-8.0 releases, indexes often can not be used unless the data
types exactly match the index's column types. This is particularly
true of int2, int8, and numeric column indexes.</P>
to allow DBA to choose the form in which log filenames reflect the
current time. Also allow for truncating instead of appending to
pre-existing files --- this is convenient when the log filename pattern
rewrites the same names cyclically. Per Ed L.
Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory
in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink. This eliminates the open
problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts
to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace. It also makes for a
significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.
