+Magnus Hagander pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Exclude sepgsql from MSVC regression testing as well. In passing,
+ change exclusion in the build to follow the same pattern as other
+ always-excluded modules.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=97520809424d46c55e2faf73b5f09cb64b52f4a5">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=97520809424d46c55e2faf73b5f09cb64b52f4a5</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Typo fix for MemSet size. Fujii Masao.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=966d4f52c258aba8187d61fdc1e10b80d560f07c">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=966d4f52c258aba8187d61fdc1e10b80d560f07c</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Use GSSAPI library for SSPI auth, when native SSPI is not available.
+ This allows non-Windows clients to connect to a Windows server with
+ SSPI authentication. Christian Ullrich, largely modified by me
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4ea1a273fbc20b29ba4aacd3c21030bd62296d7d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4ea1a273fbc20b29ba4aacd3c21030bd62296d7d</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add option to include WAL in base backup. When included, this makes
+ the base backup a complete working "clone" of the initial database,
+ ready to have a postmaster started against it without the need to
+ set up any log archiving or similar. Magnus Hagander, reviewed by
+ Fujii Masao and Heikki Linnakangas
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=507069de6dbe18c2163f27fbc780673eef8c5622">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=507069de6dbe18c2163f27fbc780673eef8c5622</a>

+Heikki Linnakangas pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix typo in the psql \d query handling, so that we use the correct
+ query against 9.0 servers.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=74be35b07cf09350168018234026df94184f8991">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=74be35b07cf09350168018234026df94184f8991</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Update psql's \copyright to match the text we have in the COPYRIGHT
+ file.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=1e4baa5c9652bb2ad2c312dc1e2d717c59cee003">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=1e4baa5c9652bb2ad2c312dc1e2d717c59cee003</a>

+<p>
+Robert Haas pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- More documentation cleanup for sepgsql. Thom Brown and Robert Haas.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ea2c2641f908cde198a9999100d847078a05385b">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ea2c2641f908cde198a9999100d847078a05385b</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix thinko in ALTER FOREIGN TABLE documentation. Noah Misch.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=558d1c95ae6afb8728f70a150c593f7e7aa5fac1">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=558d1c95ae6afb8728f70a150c593f7e7aa5fac1</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Correct ALTER TYPE -> SET DATA TYPE in ALTER TABLE documentation.
+ The latter is the correct name of the operation to change the data
+ type of a column. Noah Misch.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2b2b2ae2aa4a7089aee729e67bb323154da3841a">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2b2b2ae2aa4a7089aee729e67bb323154da3841a</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove arbitrary ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN restriction. The
+ previous coding prevented ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN from being used
+ with a non-NULL default in situations where the table's rowtype was
+ being used elsewhere. But this is a completely arbitrary
+ restriction since you could do the same operation in multiple steps
+ (add the column, add the default, update the table). Inspired by a
+ patch from Noah Misch, though I didn't use his code.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a06e41deebdf74b8b5109329dc75b2e9d9057962">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a06e41deebdf74b8b5109329dc75b2e9d9057962</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add a comment explaining why we force physical removal of OIDs.
+ Noah Misch, slightly revised.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5c2a7c6e97741564ab4ff336eac8d8227485dd4c">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5c2a7c6e97741564ab4ff336eac8d8227485dd4c</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Restore ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN w/DEFAULT restriction. This
+ reverts commit a06e41deebdf74b8b5109329dc75b2e9d9057962 of
+ 2011-01-26. Per discussion, this behavior is not wanted, as it
+ would need to change if we ever made composite types support
+ DEFAULT.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a40b1e0bf32b1da46c1baa9bc7da87f207cd37d8">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a40b1e0bf32b1da46c1baa9bc7da87f207cd37d8</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Try to avoid running with a full fsync request queue. When we need
+ to insert a new entry and the queue is full, compact the entire
+ queue in the hopes of making room for the new entry. Doing this on
+ every insertion might worsen contention on BgWriterCommLock, but
+ when the queue it's full, it's far better than allowing the backend
+ to perform its own fsync, per testing by Greg Smith as reported in
+ <a href="http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-01/msg02665.php">http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-01/msg02665.php</a>
+ Original idea from Greg Smith. Patch by me. Review by Chris Browne
+ and Greg Smith
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7f242d880b5b5d9642675517466d31373961cf98">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7f242d880b5b5d9642675517466d31373961cf98</a>

+Peter Eisentraut pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Refactor PLy_spi_prepare to save two levels of indentation. Instead
+ of checking whether the arglist is NULL and then if its length is 0,
+ do it in one step, and outside of the try/catch block. Jan Urbański
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=52713d02c73926898629e349a9804cd0cae0470b">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=52713d02c73926898629e349a9804cd0cae0470b</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Call PLy_spi_execute_fetch_result inside the try/catch block. This
+ way errors from fetching tuples are correctly reported as errors in
+ the SPI call. While at it, avoid palloc(0). Jan Urbański
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=88dcdf9007895b6703dfaf90d15244055384c603">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=88dcdf9007895b6703dfaf90d15244055384c603</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Document the "S" option for psql's \dn command in the psql help.
+ This option was recently introduced, but the documentation in help.c
+ was not updated.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=77ff840835bc40693f36281ab394de881cb327eb">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=77ff840835bc40693f36281ab394de881cb327eb</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix compiler warnings. Older versions of GCC appear to report these
+ with the current standard option set, newer versions need
+ -Wformat-security.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ddf8c1682237119bf66949050e223c2151329f4c">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ddf8c1682237119bf66949050e223c2151329f4c</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- autoreconf. Synchronize pg_config.h.in with configure.in (someone
+ must have forgotten to run autoheader or autoreconf), and clean up
+ some spurious change in configure introduced by the last commit
+ there.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=6fe5e4e63ee274e66c36dce999978a3fee8cf4c6">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=6fe5e4e63ee274e66c36dce999978a3fee8cf4c6</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Improve exception usage in PL/Python. Use the built-in TypeError,
+ not SPIError, for errors having to do with argument counts or types.
+ Use SPIError, not simply plpy.Error, for errors in
+ PLy_spi_execute_plan. Finally, do not set a Python exception if
+ PyArg_ParseTuple failed, as it already sets the correct exception.
+ Jan Urbański
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=582b5ac62e74a553e72151b321804a7b2e5fed6f">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=582b5ac62e74a553e72151b321804a7b2e5fed6f</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Do not prefix error messages with the string "PL/Python: " It is
+ redundant, given the error context. Jan Urbański
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5829738868f8d87263b6d31675e08147d8d7c188">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5829738868f8d87263b6d31675e08147d8d7c188</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Use -Wformat-security when available.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8b6f5f25102f9e2503ce18af77b6fd547a2192ca">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8b6f5f25102f9e2503ce18af77b6fd547a2192ca</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Also save the error detail in SPIError. The temporarily broken
+ plpython_unicode test shows a case where this is used. Do remaining
+ fix-ups on the expected files at the same time.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=418df3a5dd94d9f02b895f9c161b2435d61e0729">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=418df3a5dd94d9f02b895f9c161b2435d61e0729</a>

+- Adjust pg_test_fsync to always do XLOG_BLCKSZ-sized writes, rather

+- Update sync commit performance documentation to be consistent with

+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Replace pg_class.relhasexclusion with pg_index.indisexclusion.
+ There isn't any need to track this state on a table-wide basis, and
+ trying to do so introduces undesirable semantic fuzziness. Move the
+ flag to pg_index, where it clearly describes just a single index and
+ can be immutable after index creation.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd1ad1b019cda851a3e925133c056930368e6424">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd1ad1b019cda851a3e925133c056930368e6424</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove old claim that ExclusiveLock is sometimes taken on system
+ catalogs. We used to do that on pg_listener, but pg_listener is no
+ more. Also add a bit more documentation for ShareRowExclusive mode.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5042d16d1210d1a10a896a0fcf81230ff4b0e383">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5042d16d1210d1a10a896a0fcf81230ff4b0e383</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Change inv_truncate() to not repeat its systable_getnext_ordered()
+ scan. In the case where the initial call of
+ systable_getnext_ordered() returned NULL, this function would
+ nonetheless call it again. That's undefined behavior that only by
+ chance failed to not give visibly incorrect results. Put an if-test
+ around the final loop to prevent that, and in passing improve some
+ comments. No back-patch since there's no actual failure. Per
+ report from YAMAMOTO Takashi.

+- Update release notes for releases 9.0.3, 8.4.7, 8.3.14, and 8.2.20.

+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Don't include <asm/ia64regs.h> unnecessarily. We only need that
+ header when compiling with icc, since the gcc variant of
+ ia64_get_bsp() uses in-line assembly code. Per report from Frank
+ Brendel, the header doesn't exist on all IA64 platforms; so don't
+ include it unless we need it.

+- Update release notes. Security: CVE-2010-4015
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=aefb8d9198926e9f7717d6420b802ae4b6352293">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=aefb8d9198926e9f7717d6420b802ae4b6352293</a>

+
+<p>
+- Rephrase pg_conversion description to avoid splitting link across
+ page. The link to the CREATE CONVERSION manual page was split
+ across a page boundary in the PDF output, leading to "\pdfendlink
+ ended up in different nesting level than \pdfstartlink" error while
+ building PDFs. It wouldn't be worth changing text that's undergoing
+ active editing to avoid this, since other editing might result in
+ moving the link away from the page end anyway. But this paragraph
+ has been static for a long time, so might as well fix it to prevent
+ it from being an issue in future.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=20a0f97273e765598420b261685764b40810c812">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=20a0f97273e765598420b261685764b40810c812</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Copy-edit a paragraph in the contrib/seg documentation. Although
+ this improves the style, an ulterior motive is to keep the two table
+ links from breaking across lines in PDF output, per complaint from
+ Josh Kupershmidt.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b2826ad52d72195317a13c2074a5cd002c98a338">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=b2826ad52d72195317a13c2074a5cd002c98a338</a>

+- Make installation.sgml build standalone again. We must not try to
+ link to sections that aren't part of the standalone "make INSTALL"
+ build. Corrects build failure introduced in commit
+ 159e3d86292cfec2a2828f9f69ac7a6cb1be242d.

+<p>
+- Make reduce_outer_joins() smarter about semijoins.
+ reduce_outer_joins() mistakenly treated a semijoin like a left join
+ for purposes of deciding whether not-null constraints created by the
+ join's quals could be passed down into the join's left-hand side
+ (possibly resulting in outer-join simplification there). Actually,
+ semijoin works like inner join for this purpose, ie, we do not need
+ to see any rows that can't possibly satisfy the quals. Hence,
+ two-line fix to treat semi and inner joins alike. Per observation
+ by Andres Freund about a performance gripe from Yazan Suleiman.
+ Back-patch to 8.4, since this oversight has been there since the
+ current handling of semijoins was implemented.
