I never understood why initial authors GiST in pgsql choose so
stgrange signature for 'same' method:
bool *sameFn(Datum a, Datum b, bool* result)
instead of simple, logical
bool sameFn(Datum a, Datum b)
This change will break any existing GiST extension, so we still live with
it and will live.
the 8.1 SQL function definition for it. Per report from Rajesh Kumar Mallah,
such a DBA error doesn't seem at all improbable, and the cost of checking for
it is not very high compared to the cost of running this function. (It would
have been better to change the C name of the function so it wouldn't be called
by the old SQL definition, but it's too late for that now in the 8.2 branch.)
Previous versions aren't affected.
Fix synonym dictionary init: string should be malloc'ed, not palloc'ed. Bug
introduced recently while fixing lowerstr().
Fix string's length calculation for recoding, fix strlower() to avoid wrong
assumption about length of recoded string (was: recoded string is no greater
that source, it may not true for multibyte encodings)

static variables. This avoids any risk of potential non-reentrancy,
and in particular offers a much cleaner workaround for the Intel compiler
bug that was affecting ginutil.c.
match the convention that foo's uninstall script is uninstall_foo.sql.
Also, stop installing lo_test.sql, which really ought to be made into
a regression test anyway (though it's unclear how to avoid a dependency
on the current OID counter...)
- Replace sorted array of entries in maintenance_work_mem to binary tree,
this should improve create performance.
- More precisely calculate allocated memory, eliminate leaks
with user-defined extractValue()
- Improve wordings in tsearch2
* new split algorithm (as proposed in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00254.php)
* possible call pickSplit() for second and below columns
* add spl_(l|r)datum_exists to GIST_SPLITVEC -
pickSplit should check its values to use already defined
spl_(l|r)datum for splitting. pickSplit should set
spl_(l|r)datum_exists to 'false' (if they was 'true') to
signal to caller about using spl_(l|r)datum.
* support for old pickSplit(): not very optimal
but correct split
* remove 'bytes' field from GISTENTRY: in any case size of
value is defined by it's type.
* split GIST_SPLITVEC to two structures: one for using in picksplit
and second - for internal use.
* some code refactoring
* support of subsplit to rtree opclasses
TODO: add support of subsplit to contrib modules
used by OpenOffice. Dictionaries are placed at
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/spell_dic.html
Dictionary automatically recognizes format of files.
Warning. MySpell's format has limitation with compound
word support: it's impossible to mark affix as
compound-only affix. So for norwegian, german etc
languages it's recommended to use original ispell format.
For that reason I don't want to remove my2ispell
scripts, it's has workaround at least for norwegian language.
It required some changes in lexize algorithm, but interface with
dictionaries stays compatible with old dictionaries.
