for int8 support. configure now checks only snprintf() for int8 support,
not sprintf and sscanf as it used to. The reason for doing this is that
if we are supplying our own snprintf code (which does handle long long int),
we now only need working long long support in the compiler not in the
platform's C library. I have verified that int8 now passes regression test
on HPUX 9, and I think it should work on SunOS 4.1.* and other older
platforms if gcc is used.
o allow to use Big5 (a Chinese encoding used in Taiwan) as a client
encoding. In this case the server side encoding should be EUC_TW
o add EUC_TW and Big5 test cases to the regression and the mb test
(contributed by Jonah Kuo)
o fix mistake in include/mb/pg_wchar.h. An encoding id for EUC_TW was
not correct (was 3 and now is 4)
o update documents (doc/README.mb and README.mb.jp)
o update psql helpfile (bin/psql/psqlHelp.h)

was causing it not to detect out-of-range float values, as evidenced by
failure of float8 regression test. I corrected that logic and also
modified expected float8 results to account for new error message
generated for out-of-range inputs.
Here is a first patch to cleanup the backend side of libpq.
This patch removes all external dependencies on the "Pfin" and "Pfout" that
are declared in pqcomm.h. These variables are also changed to "static" to
make sure.
Almost all the change is in the handler of the "copy" command - most other
areas of the backend already used the correct functions.
This change will make the way for cleanup of the internal stuff there - now
that all the functions accessing the file descriptors are confined to a
single directory.
when deciding whether a field is a year field. Assume *anything* longer
than 2 digits (if it isn't a special-case doy) is a valid year.
This should fix the "Y1K" and "Y10K" problems
pointed out by Massimo recently.
Check usage of BC to require a positive-valued year; before just used it
to flip the sign of the year without checking. This led to problems
near year zero.
Allow a 5 digit "concatenated date" of 2 digit year plus day of year.
Do 2->4 digit year correction for 6 and 5 digit "concatenated dates".
Somehow forgot this originally. Guess not many folks use it...
I think NAN is already guaranteed to be there from Jan's work on NUMERIC,
but perhaps HUGE_VAL needs some #ifndef's in the same place.
Should also include "-Infinity" as -HUGE_VAL sometime; not there yet.
to give HAVE_TM_ZONE priority. This fixes glibc2 machines and any other
machine which passes both tests in configure.
Repair HAVE_TM_ZONE code which stuffs tm structure with date type values.
Same problems as were originally there before v6.1, but never noticed.
Thanks to Oleg for nagging :)
where you state a format and arguments. the old behavior required
each appendStringInfo to have to have a sprintf() before it if any
formatting was required.
Also shortened several instances where there were multiple appendStringInfo()
calls in a row, doing nothing more then adding one more word to the String,
instead of doing them all in one call.
support. Included patches will solve it and should be applied to
both trees. Also, it fix the problem with \c command of psql when
switching different encoding databases.
Regression tests passed.

over HAVE_INT_TIMEZONE. This may help out linux/glibc2 and Dec Alpha.
Included #error precompiler macros to catch cases where neither is defined
but USE_POSIX_TIME is (shouldn't happen). Hopefully this isn't just
a gcc-ism.
than silently returning zero on some machines. Correct float8 regress test
to agree. Also fix pow() overflow/underflow check to work correctly on
HPUX.
