is wrong and dangerous unless you are using contrib/string.  We really
need a thorough look at the issue of making the backend and the FE/BE
protocols completely 8-bit-clean for string data, but that's a task
for some future release.

fewer errors than there were.

newly-updated SGML reference pages, so I just inserted a comment that they
are obsolete.  If you want to transcribe the newer info into these pages,
be my guest.

a listen/notify condition name is a class or table name, 'cause it ain't.

important step towards making the driver compliant, and means that for
some Java applications and servlets, only a single database connection
is
needed, so in a sence this is a nice little show stopper for 6.4 (and
should still be backward compatible to 6.3.2).

debate was from Paul Vixie, who wanted INET to be the name covering
both IPV4 and IPV6.  The following kit makes the needed changes:

Here are two new patches for the Win32 support.

1) The patch based on the one from Hiroshi Inoue [Inoue@tpf.co.jp], to
load
Winsock.dll from libpq.dll.
2) A patch for psql.c to remove the call to WSAStartup(), since it is
not
required when it's done in libpq.dll.

I'm still looking for the possibility of having a crypt() function in
libpq.dll too, the same way getopt was included. Any chance of getting
this
before 6.4, or should we wait for the next one?

 Use @top-srcdir@ to find the right Makefile.global and use ODBCSRCDIR
 to point to this local directory.
Move non-platform-specific stuff to outside the if clauses.
Still need to move all platform-specific stuff to the templates.

 Requires --with-odbc specified in the standalone configure.

 Before, "make install" did not run the lextest.
Fix up the ODBC make from this main configure.
Include configure test for "ln -s" in Makefile.global.in.
 Was always in configure, just not carried through to here for use.

    fixes,  enhancements and some found bugs not yet fixed. After
    all I was able to get useful results  when  dumping/reloading
    the regression database.

1.1 to 2.0 for this release.  The other frontend shlibs need version
number bumps too, but I think a minor version number change will do for them.

it probably ought to actually work.

 to get rid of unused variables.
Get clean compile on Linux (Thomas and Gerald).
Implement autoconf/configure for standalone builds and use the existing
 autoconf/configure system when in the Postgres source tree.
Code tests and functions with ApplixWare-4.4.1beta on a Linux box.
Changes should be backward compatible with WIN32 but still needs testing.

the html/ps material...

Suppress installing man pages from here; do it from the doc/Makefile now.
