d694bdd1c9 Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within search_path. 
This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly secure
value of search_path.  Without it, a malicious user can use temporary objects
to execute code with the privileges of the security-definer function.  Even
pushing the temp schema to the back of the search path is not quite good
enough, because a function or operator at the back of the path might still
capture control from one nearer the front due to having a more exact datatype
match.  Hence, disable searching the temp schema altogether for functions and
operators.

1a72f357e3 Arrange to install a "posixrules" entry in our timezone database, so that 
POSIX-style timezone specs that don't exactly match any database entry will
be treated as having correct USA DST rules.  Also, document that this can
be changed if you want to use some other DST rules with a POSIX zone spec.

We could consider changing localtime.c's TZDEFRULESTRING, but since that
facility can only deal with one DST transition rule, it seems fairly useless
now; might as well just plan to override it using a "posixrules" entry.

Backpatch as far as 8.0.  There isn't much we can do in 7.x ... either your
libc gets it right, or it doesn't.

standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,
so make it work like that.  Per bug #2885 from Akio Iwaasa.

change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.

988a87a03a Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-added 
vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random
spot in the middle as in the original patch.  This was deemed more usable
as well as less likely to break existing application code.  initdb forced
accordingly.  In passing, remove former kluge for initializing
pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently
so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.

150328cd61 I noticed that the Partitioning section of the docs has *two* sections 
of caveats in different places, but close together. One called caveats,
one not. That looks like it just led to somebody not reading some
appropriate caveats in the second group of caveats (on -admin).

414c7a537e Change the default setting for log_min_error_statement to ERROR. Per 
recent discussion in which majority opinion was that this is a more
widely useful setting than the previous default of PANIC.

f88fff1e61 Our MingW FAQ appears to be seriously out of date. Couple of fixes: we 
want to direct MSI downloads to main download site, NT4 not supported
anymore, msvc build env in progress, pgsql-hackers-win32 is no more.

be4dbd9b26 Remove a bunch of antique information from the appendix in the docs 
that discusses CVS. Remove the recommendation to use cvs 1.10. Remove
discussion of alleged CVSup binaries on postgresql.org, because they
have not existed for several years. Remove discussion of how to
build cvsup from source because the existing text is outdated, and
more accurate information is available from the CVSup homepage.

f49baa73ef Do a round of copy-editing for the system catalog chapter. In particular, 
consistently capitalize the content of the "Description" column but do
not include a terminating period, as is the convention elsewhere in the
docs. Also, remove the "References" column from catalog that do not
have any referencing columns, for the sake of brevity. Make various
other SGML and grammar fixes.

48188e1621 Fix recently-understood problems with handling of XID freezing, particularly 
in PITR scenarios.  We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases.  Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId.  Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done.  Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database.  initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs.  Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.
