into cleaner html output file names.

Add a note on sgml-tools that they are now working with jade and so
 may become the toolset of choice in the future.

 conflicting with the tutorial.sgml container document.

Make sure all files end with a newline.

Now back in sync with libpq.3 man page, which should be obsolete soon.

 and plans for some of them.

 on the mailing lists a while ago. Maybe slightly changed to fit docs.
Will go into the User's Guide.

 anyway, so this will replace them as of now.

This was the Postgres95 documentation written by Jolly and Chu...

This should be the right thing now...

 to be meaningful.

Fix Id tag in chapter headings to allow meaningful file names in html.

Include tables of possible source files throughout tree.

Fix examples for regex operators.

I really hope that I haven't missed anything in this one...

From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp

Attached are patches to enhance the multi-byte support.  (patches are
against 7/18 snapshot)

* determine encoding at initdb/createdb rather than compile time

Now initdb/createdb has an option to specify the encoding. Also, I
modified the syntax of CREATE DATABASE to accept encoding option. See
README.mb for more details.

For this purpose I have added new column "encoding" to pg_database.
Also pg_attribute and pg_class are changed to catch up the
modification to pg_database.  Actually I haved added pg_database_mb.h,
pg_attribute_mb.h and pg_class_mb.h. These are used only when MB is
enabled. The reason having separate files is I couldn't find a way to
use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks
ugly. No way.

* support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command

commands/copy.c modified.

* support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES"

See gram.y.

* support for LATIN2-5
* add UNICODE regression test case
* new test suite for MB

New directory test/mb added.

* clean up source files

Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance.
These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.

From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Attached are diffs (from current cvs sources) to bring libpq.sgml
and libpq.3 up to date.

It appears that at various times in the past, people have made edits to
one or the other of these files but not both.  I propagated some changes
from each into the other, but I don't think I caught every
inconsistency.  It'd be real nice if the man pages could be
automatically generated from the SGML...

From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Making PQrequestCancel safe to call in a signal handler turned out to be
much easier than I feared.  So here are the diffs.

Some notes:
  * I modified the postmaster's packet "iodone" callback interface to allow
    the callback routine to return a continue-or-drop-connection return
    code; this was necessary to allow the connection to be closed after
    receiving a Cancel, rather than proceeding to launch a new backend...
    Being a neatnik, I also made the iodone proc have a typechecked
    parameter list.
  * I deleted all code I could find that had to do with OOB.
  * I made some edits to ensure that all signals mentioned in the code
    are referred to symbolically not by numbers ("SIGUSR2" not "2").
    I think Bruce may have already done at least some of the same edits;
    I hope that merging these patches is not too painful.

 from datatype.sgml into separate files.
Add type conversion information.
Format historical release notes.

I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the
backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting
command:

SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding';

Other features include:
	Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness

See doc/README.mb for more details. Note that the pacthes are
against May 30 snapshot.

   Attached to the mail is locale-patch.tar.gz. In the archive
   there are:

file README.locale
   short description

directory src/test/locale
   test suite; currently only koi8-r tests, but the suite can be
   easily extended

file locale.patch
   the very patch; to apply: patch < locale.patch; should be applied
   to postgres-6.3.2 (at least I created it with 6.3.2 without any
additional
   patches)

   Files touched by the patch:  src/include/utils/builtins.h
src/backend/utils/adt/char.c src/backend/utils/adt/varchar.c
src/backend/utils/adt/varlena.c

pg_notifies statement is eliminated, and callbacks defined by
pg_listen are instead invoked automatically from the Tcl idle loop
whenever a NOTIFY message is received.

I have done only cursory testing, so there may be problems still
lurking (particularly on non-Unix machines?).  But it seems to
work.

Patch is against today's cvs sources.  Note that this will not work
with the 6.3.2 release since it depends on the new libpq.

The diffs are a bit large so I've gzipped them.  A patch to update
libpgtcl.sgml is included too.
