Tom Lane 70508ba7ae Make btree index structure adjustments and WAL logging changes needed to
support btree compaction, as per proposal of a few days ago.  btree index
pages no longer store parent links, instead they have a level indicator
(counting up from zero for leaf pages).  The FixBTree recovery logic is
removed, and replaced by code that detects missing parent-level insertions
during WAL replay.  Also, generate appropriate WAL entries when updating
btree metapage and when building a btree index from scratch.  I believe
btree indexes are now completely WAL-legal for the first time.
initdb forced due to index and WAL changes.

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 a JDBC
driver.

The ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects
Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance.

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/.
