NLS effort for the 'postgresql' component.
It includes 'ru.po', which should be added
to /src/backend/po/ and a typical patch for
nls.mk with the 'ru' entry added in
the AVAIL_LANGUAGES.
I'll submit a patch with more translations
for pg_dump once CVSweb becomes available.
CVSweb for me right now is the only way
to get to the source code until my system
is completely setup by the end of the week.

'aggname (aggtype)'. The old syntax 'aggname aggtype' is still accepted
for backwards compatibility. Fix pg_dump, which was actually broken for
most cases of user-defined aggregates. Clean up error messages associated
with these commands.
-infinity and +infinity. Put TIMESTAMP_NOT_FINITE guard into the routine,
instead of forgetting it at some call sites. Fixes regression test
failures here.
time zones.
SQL99 spec requires a default of zero (round to seconds) which is set
in gram.y as typmod is set in the parse tree. We *could* change to a
default of either 6 (for internal compatibility with previous versions)
or 2 (for external compatibility with previous versions).
Evaluate entries in pg_proc wrt the iscachable attribute for timestamp and
other date/time types. Try to recognize cases where side effects like the
current time zone setting may have an effect on results to decide whether
something is cachable or not.
it to suppress index opclass output for opclasses that are the default
for their datatype; only non-default opclasses are shown explicitly.
This is expected to improve portability of the CREATE INDEX command
across future versions of Postgres --- we've changed index opclasses
too often in the past to think we won't do so again.
Partial support for BEOS (not sure whether second fork of grandchild
process needs these extra calls or not; someone who has BEOS will need
to test it).
portability issues). Caller-visible data structures are now allocated
on MAXALIGN boundaries, allowing safe use of datatypes wider than 'long'.
Rejigger hash_create API so that caller specifies size of key and
total size of entry, not size of key and size of rest of entry.
This simplifies life considerably since each number is just a sizeof(),
and padding issues etc. are taken care of automatically.
from the config file, so that these changes will propagate to backends
started later. Already-started backends continue to ignore changes
in these variables.
upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX). The
default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't
affect the behavior. But on platforms where the kernel promises far
more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of
file descriptors. See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers
around 23-Dec-2000.
rightmost on its tree level, we split 2/3 to the left and 1/3 to the
new right page, rather than the even split we use elsewhere. The idea
is that when faced with a steadily increasing series of inserted keys
(such as sequence or timestamp values), we'll end up with a btree that's
about 2/3ds full not 1/2 full, which is much closer to the desired
steady-state load for a btree. Per suggestion from Ann Harrison of
IBPhoenix.
pointers to data that will be changed by any later call to setlocale.
Must copy what they return to be sure we get the right answer.

existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared
lock but has few other fancy features. Replace most uses of spinlocks
with lightweight locks. All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short
lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff
code to work efficiently given this assumption. All per my proposal on
pghackers 26-Sep-01.
two performance improvements. I put an explanation of the
changes at
http://cs1.cs.nyu.edu/been/postgres-rtree.html
The performance improvements are quite significant.
All the changes are in the file src/backend/access/rtree/rtree.c
I was working with the 7.1.3 code.
I'm including the diff output as an attachment.

Define a new function, GetCurrentTransactionStartTimeUsec() to get the time
to this precision.
Allow now() and timestamp 'now' to use this higher precision result so
we now have fractional seconds in this "constant".
Add timestamp without time zone type.
Move previous timestamp type to timestamp with time zone.
Accept another ISO variant for date/time values: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
(note the "T" separating the day from hours information).
Remove 'current' from date/time types; convert to 'now' in input.
Separate time and timetz regression tests.
Separate timestamp and timestamptz regression test.
check *can* return HEAPTUPLE_INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or HEAPTUPLE_DELETE_IN_PROGRESS,
even though we have ShareLock on the relation. To wit, this can happen
if the tuple was inserted/deleted by our own transaction. Per report from
Justin Clift 9/23.
