+<h2>Applied Patches</h2>
+<p>
+Heikki Linnakangas pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Before exiting walreceiver, fsync() all the WAL received. Otherwise
+ WAL recovery will replay the un-flushed WAL after walreceiver has
+ exited, which can lead to a non-recoverable standby if the system
+ crashes hard at that point.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=34ef02b4d4c06e2bae6ad09cfd6d9c097eb73743">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=34ef02b4d4c06e2bae6ad09cfd6d9c097eb73743</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Set fallback_application_name in walreceiver. Makes replication
+ slaves identify themselves in the new pg_stat_replication view.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=48075095ac3ce1aaa63624ea0148dbe5bcba3b09">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=48075095ac3ce1aaa63624ea0148dbe5bcba3b09</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix thinko in comment. Spotted by Jim Nasby.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b1dc45c11d8e63df34044ea73e643f5fa9d8c316">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b1dc45c11d8e63df34044ea73e643f5fa9d8c316</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Don't require usage privileges on the foreign data wrapper when
+ creating a foreign table. We check for usage privileges on the
+ foreign server, that ought to be enough. Shigeru HANADA.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8aea1373d8f88bf389def1af10d06f1e67e25249">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8aea1373d8f88bf389def1af10d06f1e67e25249</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add 'directory' format to pg_dump. The new directory format is
+ compatible with the 'tar' format, in that untarring a tar format
+ archive produces a valid directory format archive. Joachim Wieland
+ and Heikki Linnakangas
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7f508f1c6b515df66d27f860b2faa7b5761fa55d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7f508f1c6b515df66d27f860b2faa7b5761fa55d</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Silence compiler warning about uninitialized variable, noted by
+ Itagaki Takahiro.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=56d77c9e56adbd856beba00af3dc607687d30198">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=56d77c9e56adbd856beba00af3dc607687d30198</a>

+
+<p>
+Bruce Momjian pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add getopt() support to test_fsync; also fix printf() format
+ problem.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=08af45f4ff89ff5bee25c7d5bf496e987eb90060">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=08af45f4ff89ff5bee25c7d5bf496e987eb90060</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In the docs, better distinguish server from client SSL settings in
+ the documentation. Ray Stell. Also fix some libpq title
+ capitalization problems.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=74bcdfbe2dd656f04db4e883b5bdcdafddebff08">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=74bcdfbe2dd656f04db4e883b5bdcdafddebff08</a>
+</p>

+<p>
+- github test.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2c38cce1be4f57e353805e529e6d993c9c28535e">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2c38cce1be4f57e353805e529e6d993c9c28535e</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove "github test" that somehow got into my tree. Sorry.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4acfd43a7d6194fa735a6b7b06a1554909123d41">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4acfd43a7d6194fa735a6b7b06a1554909123d41</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In test_fsync, adjust test headings to match wal_sync_method values;
+ add more test cases for open_sync of different sizes.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8995440e387846261d18e728f11adc528ccc5c1b">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8995440e387846261d18e728f11adc528ccc5c1b</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Move test_fsync to /contrib.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=606a3d54fcd053c31e52886f4c69848a68777480">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=606a3d54fcd053c31e52886f4c69848a68777480</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Update C banner on new pg_test_fsync file.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b35bfcae937810f43fdf2327bcea2e8a03ccbf68">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b35bfcae937810f43fdf2327bcea2e8a03ccbf68</a>

+
+<p>
+- Update SGML docs to point to new /contrib/pg_test_fsync.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5925aa09a9110fe0d12393c758812e7149546443">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5925aa09a9110fe0d12393c758812e7149546443</a>

+- Increment Py_None refcount for NULL array elements. Per bug #5835
+ by Julien Demoor Author: Alex Hunsaker
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=978445bece6ce3df55599ee971a4a5dc217bf34c">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=978445bece6ce3df55599ee971a4a5dc217bf34c</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Tom Lane pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix miscalculation of itemsafter in array_set_slice(). If the slice
+ to be assigned to was before the existing array lower bound
+ (requiring at least one null element to spring into existence to
+ fill the gap), the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be
+ copied from the old array's null bitmap. This could result in
+ trashing the array's data area (as seen in bug #5840 from Karsten
+ Loesing), or worse. This has been broken since we first allowed the
+ behavior of assigning to non-adjacent slices, in 8.2. Back-patch to
+ all affected versions.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bdd8ed973da9ab48aba2292b01f71d2f9968b82c">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bdd8ed973da9ab48aba2292b01f71d2f9968b82c</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Avoid detoast in texteq/textne/byteaeq/byteane for unequal-length
+ strings. We can get the length of a compressed or out-of-line datum
+ without actually detoasting it. If the lengths of two strings are
+ unequal, we can then conclude they are unequal without detoasting.
+ That saves considerable work in an admittedly less-common case,
+ without costing anything much when the optimization doesn't apply.
+ Noah Misch.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=1b393f4e5db4fd6bbc86a4e88785b6945a1541d0">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=1b393f4e5db4fd6bbc86a4e88785b6945a1541d0</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Show correct datatype for pg_class.relpersistence, plus a typo fix.
+ Thom Brown
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=357faea82e93712937cd109b48ce006789ec7a8f">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=357faea82e93712937cd109b48ce006789ec7a8f</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix pg_restore to do the right thing when escaping large objects.
+ Specifically, this makes the workflow pg_dump -Fc -> pg_restore ->
+ file produce correct output for BLOBs when the source database has
+ standard_conforming_strings turned on. It was already okay when
+ that was off, or if pg_restore was told to restore directly into a
+ database. This is a back-port of commit
+ b1732111f233bbb72788e92a627242ec28a85631 of 2009-08-04, with
+ additional changes to emit old-style escaped bytea data instead of
+ hex-style. At the time, we had not heard of anyone encountering the
+ problem in the field, so I judged it not worth the risk of changing
+ back branches. Now we do have a report, from Bosco Rama, so
+ back-patch into 8.2 through 8.4. 9.0 and up are okay already.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2a1ef1011548e329f4eca86671401bf4124f9d1e">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2a1ef1011548e329f4eca86671401bf4124f9d1e</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix broken markup, also minor copy-editing.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=0cf3db2175ec770097b9c44d9a8e1e8c281ee5a6">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=0cf3db2175ec770097b9c44d9a8e1e8c281ee5a6</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Clean up pg_test_fsync commit. Actually rename the program, rather
+ than just claiming we did. Hook it into the build system. Get rid
+ of useless dependency on libpq. Clean up #include list and messy
+ whitespace.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bc616703e8767d2a5d0312cdbf5dc3c6de2b86fe">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bc616703e8767d2a5d0312cdbf5dc3c6de2b86fe</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- More pg_test_fsync cleanup. Un-break Windows build (I hope) by
+ making the HAVE_FSYNC_WRITETHROUGH code match the backend. Fix
+ incorrect program help message. static-ize all functions.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=cb38ab6d3b89eccb75b3337f8723cfc283fb77fb">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=cb38ab6d3b89eccb75b3337f8723cfc283fb77fb</a>

+- Suppress unused-variables warning when OPEN_SYNC_FLAG isn't defined.
+ Per buildfarm.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=3ae28ce8c437811bba47c09d1212c2d3c41cb7ff">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=3ae28ce8c437811bba47c09d1212c2d3c41cb7ff</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- More pg_test_fsync fixups. Reduce #includes to minimum actually
+ needed; in particular include postgres_fe.h not postgres.h, so as to
+ stop build failures on some platforms. Use get_progname() instead
+ of hardwired program name; improve error checking for command line
+ syntax; bring error messages into line with style guidelines;
+ include strerror result in die() cases.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=37eb2cd4ad4c3323f1c7ed1c893c9d645fbaeb1a">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=37eb2cd4ad4c3323f1c7ed1c893c9d645fbaeb1a</a>

+
+<p>
+- Suppress possibly-uninitialized-variable warnings from gcc 4.5. It
+ appears that gcc 4.5 can issue such warnings for whole structs, not
+ just scalar variables as in the past. Refactor some pg_dump code
+ slightly so that the OutputContext local variables are always
+ initialized, even if they won't be used. It's cheap enough to not
+ be worth worrying about.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=e2627258c3cc43b8b00c5c29c35933a33259e718">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=e2627258c3cc43b8b00c5c29c35933a33259e718</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Suppress "control reaches end of non-void function" warning from gcc
+ 4.5. Not sure why I'm seeing this on Fedora 14 and not earlier
+ versions. Seems like a regression that gcc no longer knows that
+ DIE() doesn't return. Still, adding a dummy return is harmless
+ enough.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=518b1e96c02ba0fa52227c528d6e951004d0653f">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=518b1e96c02ba0fa52227c528d6e951004d0653f</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Allow the wal_buffers setting to be auto-tuned to a reasonable
+ value. If wal_buffers is initially set to -1 (which is now the
+ default), it's replaced by 1/32nd of shared_buffers, with a minimum
+ of 8 (the old default) and a maximum of the XLOG segment size. The
+ allowed range for manual settings is still from 4 up to whatever
+ will fit in shared memory. Greg Smith, with implementation
+ correction by me.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=0f73aae13def660371c34c8feda6e684e6366bdb">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=0f73aae13def660371c34c8feda6e684e6366bdb</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Quick hack to un-break plpython regression tests. It's not clear to
+ me what should happen to the other plpython_unicode variant expected
+ files, but this patch gets things passing on my own machines and at
+ least some of the buildfarm.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=cc73c160507588bdc5822d7f2bb79d6b3a386761">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=cc73c160507588bdc5822d7f2bb79d6b3a386761</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Suppress uninitialized-variable warning.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b3cfcdaad27bea9bb86d6de6cbf8d184c16fbceb">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b3cfcdaad27bea9bb86d6de6cbf8d184c16fbceb</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add .gitignore file to silence complaints about pg_basebackup.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=10e99f15d423b1730929af1992593c6649952fd5">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=10e99f15d423b1730929af1992593c6649952fd5</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Revert "Factor out functions responsible for caching I/O routines".
+ This reverts commit 740e54ca84c437fd67524f97a3ea9ddea752e208, which
+ seems to have tickled an optimization bug in gcc 4.5.x, as reported
+ upstream at <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671899">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671899</a> Since
+ this patch had no purpose beyond code beautification, it's not worth
+ expending a lot of effort to look for another workaround.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=de3c2d6e928b0f7fb2840914351b96fecce2a30d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=de3c2d6e928b0f7fb2840914351b96fecce2a30d</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Improve getObjectDescription's display of pg_amop and pg_amproc
+ entries. Include the lefttype/righttype columns explicitly (instead
+ of assuming the reader can deduce them from the operator or function
+ description), and move the operator or function description to the
+ end of the string, to make it clearer that it's a referenced object
+ and not the amop or amproc item itself. Per extensive discussion of
+ Andreas Karlsson's original patch. Andreas Karlsson, Tom Lane
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=dd5f0db96ba68553e3ab2c1d9d117863a5637c67">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=dd5f0db96ba68553e3ab2c1d9d117863a5637c67</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix another portability issue in pg_basebackup. The target of
+ sscanf with a %o format had better be of integer width, but "mode_t"
+ conceivably isn't that. Another compiler warning seen only on some

+- Use HTABs instead of Python dictionary objects to cache procedures
+ Two separate hash tables are used for regular procedures and for
+ trigger procedures, since the way trigger procedures work is quite
+ different from normal stored procedures. Change the signatures of
+ PLy_procedure_{get,create} to accept the function OID and a Boolean
+ flag indicating whether it's a trigger. This should make
+ implementing a PL/Python validator easier. Using HTABs instead of
+ Python dictionaries makes error recovery easier, and allows for
+ procedures to be cached based on their OIDs, not their names. It
+ also allows getting rid of the PyCObject field that used to hold a
+ pointer to PLyProcedure, since PyCObjects are deprecated in Python
+ 2.7 and replaced by Capsules in Python 3. Jan Urbański

+- Fix an error when a set-returning function fails halfway through the

+- Correctly add exceptions to the plpy module for Python 3. The way
+ the exception types where added to the module was wrong for Python
+ 3. Exception classes were not actually available from plpy. Fix

+ Python exceptions and make it work with Python 3. New regression

+
+<p>
+- Get rid of the global variable holding the error state. Global
+ error handling led to confusion and was hard to manage. With this
+ change, errors from PostgreSQL are immediately reported to Python as
+ exceptions. This requires setting a Python exception after
+ reporting the caught PostgreSQL error as a warning, because PLy_elog
+ destroys the Python exception state. Ideally, all places where
+ PostgreSQL errors need to be reported back to Python should be
+ wrapped in subtransactions, to make going back to Python from a
+ longjmp safe. This will be handled in a separate patch. Jan
+ Urbański.

+- Add pg_basebackup tool for streaming base backups. This tool makes
