Regression tests and documentation have both been updated.
SQL2003 requires that both ceiling() and ceil() be present, so I have
documented both spellings. SQL2003 doesn't mention pow() as far as I
can see, so I decided to replace pow() with power() in the documentation:
there is little reason to encourage the continued usage of a function
that isn't compliant with the standard, given a standard-compliant
alternative.
RELEASE NOTES: should state that pow() is considered deprecated
(although I don't see the need to ever remove it.)
Allow additional thread flags to be added via port templates.
Change thread flag names to PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS to match new
configure script.
1. Fixed bug where sequences were being mirrored incorrectly if they
exceeded 127
2. Fixed a bug in the perl script with mirroring sequences(John
Burtenshaw sent an email to patches describing the bug in March but I
htink he forgot to attach his patch)
3. The dates/times in the transaction files will always use 2 digits.

errors. This is the second submission, which integrates Tom comments about
localisation and exit code. I also added some comments about one sql
command which is not ignored.

the next are handled by ReleaseAndReadBuffer rather than separate
ReleaseBuffer and ReadBuffer calls. This cuts the number of acquisitions
of the BufMgrLock by a factor of 2 (possibly more, if an indexscan happens
to pull successive rows from the same heap page). Unfortunately this
doesn't seem enough to get us out of the recently discussed context-switch
storm problem, but it's surely worth doing anyway.
of whether we have successfully read data into a buffer; this makes the
error behavior a bit more transparent (IMHO anyway), and also makes it
work correctly for local buffers which don't use Start/TerminateBufferIO.
Collapse three separate functions for writing a shared buffer into one.
This overlaps a bit with cleanups that Neil proposed awhile back, but
seems not to have committed yet.
process directly. Some parameters can only be set at server start;
any changes to their entries in the configuration file will be ignored
until the server is restarted.
