that discusses CVS. Remove the recommendation to use cvs 1.10. Remove
discussion of alleged CVSup binaries on postgresql.org, because they
have not existed for several years. Remove discussion of how to
build cvsup from source because the existing text is outdated, and
more accurate information is available from the CVSup homepage.
consistently capitalize the content of the "Description" column but do
not include a terminating period, as is the convention elsewhere in the
docs. Also, remove the "References" column from catalog that do not
have any referencing columns, for the sake of brevity. Make various
other SGML and grammar fixes.
in PITR scenarios. We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases. Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId. Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done. Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database. initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs. Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.

This is a side-effect of 2005-07-04 change that makes the server use
relative paths in general. Noted by Bernd Helmle.

myself.

timezone actually has a daylight-savings rule. This avoids breaking
cases that used to work because they went through the DecodePosixTimezone
code path. Per contrib regression failures (mea culpa for not running
those yesterday...). Also document the already-applied change to allow
GMT offsets up to 14 hours.
