c184470be3 Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level 
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction
overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost.  It seems
unlikely that we will be able to fix this before 8.3...

988a87a03a Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-added 
vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random
spot in the middle as in the original patch.  This was deemed more usable
as well as less likely to break existing application code.  initdb forced
accordingly.  In passing, remove former kluge for initializing
pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently
so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.

48188e1621 Fix recently-understood problems with handling of XID freezing, particularly 
in PITR scenarios.  We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases.  Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId.  Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done.  Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database.  initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs.  Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.

877f08da14 Fix up timetz input so that a date is required only when the specified 
timezone actually has a daylight-savings rule.  This avoids breaking
cases that used to work because they went through the DecodePosixTimezone
code path.  Per contrib regression failures (mea culpa for not running
those yesterday...).  Also document the already-applied change to allow
GMT offsets up to 14 hours.

022fd99668 Fix up some problems in handling of zic-style time zone names in datetime 
input routines.  Remove the former "DecodePosixTimezone" function in favor of
letting the zic code handle POSIX-style zone specs (see tzparse()).  In
particular this means that "PST+3" now means the same as "-03", whereas it
used to mean "-11" --- the zone abbreviation is effectively just a noise word
in this syntax.  Make sure that all named and POSIX-style zone names will be
parsed as a single token.  Fix long-standing bogosities in printing and input
of fractional-hour timezone offsets (since the tzparse() code will accept
these, we'd better make 'em work).  Also correct an error in the original
coding of the zic-zone-name patch: in "timestamp without time zone" input,
zone names are supposed to be allowed but ignored, but the coding was such
that the zone changed the interpretation anyway.

24e9752863 Revise psql pattern-matching switches as per discussion. The rule is now 
to process all inclusion switches then all exclusion switches, so that the
behavior is independent of switch ordering.
Use of -T does not cause non-table objects to be suppressed.  And
the patterns are now interpreted the same way psql's \d commands do it,
rather than as pure regex commands; this allows for example -t schema.tab
to do what it should have been doing all along.  Re-enable the --blobs
switch to do something useful, ie, add back blobs into a dump they were
otherwise suppressed from.

2b25e1169f The -X option in pg_dump was supposed to be a workaround for the lack of 
portable long options.  But we have had portable long options for a long
time now, so this is obsolete.  Now people have added options which *only*
work with -X but not as regular long option, so I'm putting a stop to this:
-X is deprecated; it still works, but it has been removed from the
documentation, and please don't add more of them.

352a56ba68 Allow assignment to array elements not contiguous with those already 
present; intervening positions are filled with nulls.  This behavior
is required by SQL99 but was not implementable before 8.2 due to lack
of support for nulls in arrays.  I have only made it work for the
one-dimensional case, which is all that SQL99 requires.  It seems quite
complex to get it right in higher dimensions, and since we never allowed
extension at all in higher dimensions, I think that must count as a
future feature addition not a bug fix.

f213131f20 Fix IS NULL and IS NOT NULL tests on row-valued expressions to conform to 
the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT
NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null.  The former coding got
this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it
could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong
for IS NOT NULL.  Per report from Teodor.

I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection
it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec.  This
probably needs more consideration.
