6.4.1. Here is the list:

- The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
in other platforms.

- The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
differences in the error messages, are fixed.

- The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.

- Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
specific to DEC C.

- There is a (very basic) Digital Unix specific FAQ in
doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.

Looks like :vartypmod got transmuted to %vartypmod in an editing session.

Oops, sorry...meant to commit the patch from Thomas for tzn->CTZName

New code for locking buffer' context.

More cleanups ... this is one big file *sigh*

Correct some typos...

More cleanups of appendStringInfo() function calls...

missed before the release. It's simply a symbol that is undefined. This
patch defines this symbol in "win32.h", so it should have no effect on any
other platforms. It should go into 6.4.1 if possible, since compilation is
completely broken without it.

I am also attaching a patch for the "win32.mak" file - it leaves a file
behind when doing "make clean" after the library is built on Visual C++ 6.0.
This is not at all as urgent, but I don't see it breaking here, so I think
it might as well go in there too?

more cleanups...of note, appendStringInfo now performs like sprintf(),
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.

Many more cleanups...

Initial attempt to clean up the code...

Switch sprintf() to snprintf()
Remove any/all #if 0 -or- #ifdef NOT_USED -or- #ifdef FALSE sections of
	code

For the 6.5 tree.

Have a great night.

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.

Allows (at least some) rules and views.
Still some trouble (crashes) with target CASE columns spanning tables,
 but lots now works.

Try to label CASE columns for a SELECT if not specified with an AS clause.

 make the sometimes misleading claim that more than one candidate was
 identified. Now say "Unable to identify...".

 between columns and DEFAULT clauses.

Fix parser error message when an operator is not found
 to not explicitly claim that there is more than one.

shared libraries to be listed in the link command.

Fix one usage of substr() which mapped to the "Oracle compatibility" funcs
 rather than the more recent (and closer to SQL92) function in varlena.c.
Add more DESC() entries for conversion functions.

 unless necessary.
Label internal bpchar types as "character" and varchar types as
 "character varying" to be less Postgres-specific. These types map to
 the SQL92 definitions anyway.
Redefine g_force_quotes to be the local variable force_quotes.
Pass this as an argument to fmtId().
These should help with handling the single-byte internal "char" type.

 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.

prefer aCC as c++ compiler if hpux_cc is selected as template.
Doesn't solve the problem if you have g++ and not aCC, however...

instead of our own halfway-there code.  Add AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE call
to check whether tm_zone exists in struct tm.  Revise reading of template
file so that templates can define any variables they feel like (and,
indeed, can execute arbitrary shell code) rather than being constrained
to a fixed set of variable names.
