in pghackers list.  Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention.  pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'.  A newstyle function must be identified
by an associated info routine.  See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.

allows fixing problems with operators that expected to be able to
return a NULL, such as the '#' line-segment-intersection operator
that tried to return NULL when the two segments don't intersect.
(See, eg, bug report from 1-Nov-99 on pghackers.)  Fix some other
bugs in passing, such as backwards comparison in path_distance().

functions that take pass-by-value datatypes.  Should be ready for
port testing ...

inputs have been converted to newstyle.  This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters.  Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.

Update output to new psql conventions.

1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql.  4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.

Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...

Its starting to actually take shape and look as expected...

user-friendly (and more useful)
