This has now been confirmed by Robert Bruccoleri for Irix, and I'm going
to extrapolate to AIX as well.

before commit, not after :-( --- the original coding is not only unsafe
if an error occurs while it's processing, but it generates an invalid
sequence of WAL entries.  Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when
no longer needed.  Use an enum instead of random macros.  Editorialize
on names used for routines and constants.  Teach backend/nodes routines
about new field in CreateTable struct.  Add a regression test.

contains the patches to Makefile.global.in and Makefile.unixware.  The
Makefile.unixware patch has been updated to include the contents of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if present, to the -rpath (-R) option.  This change
will  simplify configuring and building PostgreSQL on systems that
support  LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include all
the directorys  you want to have searched for additional libraries, run
configure, then run  make.  The paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH will then be
embedded in the executables  via the -rpath (-R) option to the linker,
and so will not require  LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to run.

PL/PgSQL. Previously, it had been bundled together with the assign
statement implementation, for some reason that wasn't clear to me
(they certainly don't share any code with one another). So I separated
them and made PERFORM a statement like any other. No changes in
functionality.

Along the way, I added some regression tests for PERFORM, added a
bunch more SGML tags to the PL/PgSQL docs, and removed an obsolete
comment relating to the implementation of RETURN NEXT.

OK, here it comes:

An inlined version of tas(), that works for both, powerpc and
powerpc64. The patch is against 7.3b5 and passes the test suite on
both architectures.

postgres.h or c.h includes a system header (such as stdio.h or
stdlib.h), there's no need to specifically include it in any of the .c
files in the backend.

points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a
specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The
new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old
earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A
regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README
file has been updated to include documentation on the new stuff. There
are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers.

variation.  To do this, set extra_float_digits to -3 in the geometry
test, and tweak the CIRCLE_TBL dataset to avoid values that suffer
from severe cancellation error (eg, circles that just touch an axis).
We still need two geometry 'expected' files to account for the
difference between platforms that display minus zero as '-0' and those
that just say '0', but with luck that's all we'll need.

"traditional" behavior, so the change should be transparent. Use the
command "\pset pager always" to turn it on. Anything else does the
normal toggle between "on" and "off"

This will cause the geometry regression test to start failing on some
platforms.  I plan to update the test later today.

now)" item on the open items, and subsequent plpgsql function I sent in,
made me realize it was too hard to get the upper and lower bound of an
array. The attached creates two functions that I think will be very
useful when combined with the ability of plpgsql to return sets.

array_lower(array, dim_num)
- and -
array_upper(array, dim_num)

They return the value (as an int) of the upper and lower bound of the
requested dim in the provided array.
