are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
rather than executing the INTO clause with non-plpgsql semantics
as it was doing for the last few weeks/months. This keeps our options
open for making it do the right plpgsql-ish thing in future without
creating a backwards compatibility problem. There is no loss of
functionality since people can get the same behavior with CREATE TABLE AS.
Add -l option to name log file. Set umask to 077.
Proper file descriptor redirection to allow postmaster to detach from
shell's process group.
Add -s option to turn off informational messages.
any other client connections that may exist (which would only happen if
another client is currently in the authentication cycle). This avoids
wastage of open descriptors in a child. It might also explain peculiar
behaviors like not closing connections when expected, since the kernel
will probably not signal EOF as long as some other backend is randomly
holding open a reference to the connection, even if the client went away
long since ...
The driver version is 07.01.0002 now.
1) initialized pg_version by DSN's protocol info
so that we could always use pg_version info
once a connection is established (pg_version()
didn't exist before 6.4). PROTOCOL_XX() macros
are removed(except from connection.[ch]).
2) provided a few macros to encapsulate connection's
version info and replaced existent comparison
stuff by those macros.
3) change SQLTables() so that 7.1 servers could show
views.
In addtion, the following patch from Dave Page is applied.
This patch fixes a bug in SQLGetInfo for SQL_DBMS_VER which corrupted the
driver version string. The driver version number has also been incremented
to 07.01.0002.

elog(ERROR) not an Assert trap, since we've downgraded out-of-memory to
elog(ERROR) not a fatal error. Also, change the hard boundary from 256Mb
to 1Gb, just so that anyone who's actually got that much memory to spare
can play with TOAST objects approaching a gigabyte.
- Some minor additions to Statement to make our own extensions more
portable.
- Statement.close() will now call ResultSet.close() rather than just
dissasociating with it.
- Fixed bug where Statement.setMaxRows() was a global setting. Now
limited to just itself.
- Changed LargeObject.read(byte[],int,int) to return the actual number
of bytes read (used to be void).
- LargeObject now supports InputStream's!
- PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream() now works!
- ResultSet.getBinaryStream() now returns an InputStream that doesn't
copy the blob into memory first!
- Connection.isClosed() now tests to see if the connection is still alive
rather than if it thinks it's alive.
