Allow pg_shadow to be MD5 encrypted.
Add ENCRYPTED/UNENCRYPTED option to CREATE/ALTER user.
Add password_encryption postgresql.conf option.
Update wire protocol version to 2.1.
for speed reasons; its result type also changes to int8. avg() on these
datatypes now accumulates the running sum in int8 for speed; but we still
deliver the final result as numeric, so that fractional accuracy is
preserved.
count() now counts and returns in int8, not int4. I am a little nervous
about this possibly breaking users' code, but there didn't seem to be
a strong sentiment for avoiding the problem. If we get complaints during
beta, we can change count back to int4 and add a "count8" aggregate.
For that matter, users can do it for themselves with a simple CREATE
AGGREGATE command; the int4inc function is still present, so no C hacking
is needed.
Also added max() and min() aggregates for OID that do proper unsigned
comparison, instead of piggybacking on int4 aggregates.
initdb forced.
default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them.
Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.
Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey
has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and
triggers in a valid order.
initdb forced.
(as proposed in http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=1028327)
2. support for 'pass-by-value' arguments - to test this
we used special opclass for int4 with values in range [0-2^15]
More testing will be done after resolving problem with
index_formtuple and implementation of B-tree using GiST
3. small patch to contrib modules (seg,cube,rtree_gist,intarray) -
mark functions as 'isstrict' where needed.

Make sure it exits immediately when collector process dies --- in old code,
buffer process would hang around and compete with the new buffer process
for packets. Make sure it doesn't block on writing the pipe when the
collector falls more than a pipeload behind. Avoid leaking pgstats FDs
into every backend.
platforms system(2) gets confused unless the signal handler is set to
SIG_DFL, not SIG_IGN. pgstats.c now uses pqsignal() as it should,
not signal(). Also, arrange for the stats collector process to show
a reasonable ID in 'ps', rather than looking like a postmaster.
points out how silly it is to use Autoconf to test for a preprocessor
symbol, when one can equally easily #ifdef on the symbol itself.
Accordingly, revert configure to prior state and do it that way.

number in the data structure so that we can give at least a minimally
useful idea of where the mistake is when we issue syntax error messages.
Move the ClientAuthentication() call to where it should have been in

rather than deleting them only to have to create more. Steady state
is 2*CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS + WAL_FILES + 1 segment files, which will
simply be renamed rather than constantly deleted and recreated.
To make this safe, added current XLOG file/offset number to page
header of XLOG pages, so that an un-overwritten page from an old
incarnation of a logfile can be reliably told from a valid page.
This change means that if you try to restart postmaster in a CVS-tip
database after installing the change, you'll get a complaint about
bad XLOG page magic number. If you don't want to initdb, run
contrib/pg_resetxlog (and be sure you shut down the old postmaster
cleanly).
Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough.
However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be
able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.
per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in
different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine
in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about
inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND
INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and
it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have
been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside
the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet,
but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping
for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various
hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns.
Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this,
gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko
bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with
the performance problems we've heard about occasionally).
Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static
state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long
ago for btree, but missed the other guys.

deadlock in concurrent heap_updates: allow RelationGetBufferForTuple to
