+
+<h2>Applied Patches</h2>
+<p>
+Alvaro Herrera pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove GucContext parameter from ParseConfigFile.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5272d7987506554f6b2bde740e1b4d7e4a0b8608">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5272d7987506554f6b2bde740e1b4d7e4a0b8608</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Robert Haas pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Centralize some ALTER <whatever> .. SET SCHEMA checks. Any flavor
+ of ALTER <whatever> .. SET SCHEMA fails if (1) the object is already
+ in the new schema, (2) either the old or new schema is a temp
+ schema, or (3) either the old or new schema is the TOAST schema.
+ Extraced from a patch by Dimitri Fontaine, with additional hacking
+ by me.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=44475e782f4674d257b9e5c1a3930218a4b4deea">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=44475e782f4674d257b9e5c1a3930218a4b4deea</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove belt-and-suspenders guards against buffer pin leaks.
+ Forcibly releasing all leftover buffer pins should be unnecessary
+ now that we have a robust ResourceOwner mechanism, and it
+ significantly increases the cost of process shutdown. Instead, in
+ an assert-enabled build, assert that no pins are held; in a
+ non-assert-enabled build, do nothing.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c2281ac87cf4828b6b828dc8585a10aeb3a176e0">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c2281ac87cf4828b6b828dc8585a10aeb3a176e0</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add inet_net_ntop.c to .gitignore.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2d1e426650fc93e5dfdd0178023485d38b03b102">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=2d1e426650fc93e5dfdd0178023485d38b03b102</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Object access hook framework, with post-creation hook. After a SQL
+ object is created, we provide an opportunity for security or logging
+ plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider could
+ use this to assign an initial security label to newly created
+ objects. The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other
+ types of events that might require similar treatment. KaiGai Kohei,
+ with minor adjustments.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=cc1ed40d57aa68322e43a7b0a3320a6c5aff010a">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=cc1ed40d57aa68322e43a7b0a3320a6c5aff010a</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add more ALTER <object> .. SET SCHEMA commands. This adds support
+ for changing the schema of a conversion, operator, operator class,
+ operator family, text search configuration, text search dictionary,
+ text search parser, or text search template. Dimitri Fontaine, with
+ assorted corrections and other kibitzing.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=55109313f96fb5c7d671fe8954b6f7fc0cca9631">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=55109313f96fb5c7d671fe8954b6f7fc0cca9631</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- New contrib module, auth_delay. KaiGai Kohei, with a few changes by
+ me.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=fe7a32fc87e68edf014ee7e575f92cb027437ff4">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=fe7a32fc87e68edf014ee7e575f92cb027437ff4</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix typo. Fujii Masao.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=fab7fdb988f25438ded6c4a5c4b4f112f9decddb">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=fab7fdb988f25438ded6c4a5c4b4f112f9decddb</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Peter Eisentraut pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Propagate ALTER TYPE operations to typed tables. This adds
+ RESTRICT/CASCADE flags to ALTER TYPE ... ADD/DROP/ALTER/ RENAME
+ ATTRIBUTE to control whether to alter typed tables as well.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=f2a4278330ae12cd56b61c92a7debb9c9fca7b41">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=f2a4278330ae12cd56b61c92a7debb9c9fca7b41</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove useless whitespace at end of lines.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=fc946c39aeacdff7df60c83fca6582985e8546c8">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=fc946c39aeacdff7df60c83fca6582985e8546c8</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add index entries for more functions. Also, move index entries into
+ the tables, closer to the function description, for easier editing
+ in the future. Resort some tables to be more alphabetical. Remove
+ the entries for count, max, min, and sum in the tutorial area,
+ because that was felt to be confusing. Thom Brown.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4fc09ad00c3cc95003a5523d85999da1dd4f9d75">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4fc09ad00c3cc95003a5523d85999da1dd4f9d75</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Tom Lane pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Create the system catalog infrastructure needed for KNNGIST. This
+ commit adds columns amoppurpose and amopsortfamily to pg_amop, and
+ column amcanorderbyop to pg_am. For the moment all the entries in
+ amcanorderbyop are "false", since the underlying support isn't there
+ yet. Also, extend the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY
+ commands with [ FOR SEARCH | FOR ORDER BY sort_operator_family ]
+ clauses to allow the new columns of pg_amop to be populated, and
+ create pg_dump support for dumping that information. I also added
+ some documentation, although it's perhaps a bit premature given that
+ the feature doesn't do anything useful yet. Teodor Sigaev, Robert
+ Haas, Tom Lane.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=725d52d0c27cffe8c99bb78e2b0d2480d5cd702b">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=725d52d0c27cffe8c99bb78e2b0d2480d5cd702b</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix significant memory leak in contrib/xml2 functions. Most of the
+ functions that execute XPath queries leaked the data structures
+ created by libxml2. This memory would not be recovered until end of
+ session, so it mounts up pretty quickly in any serious use of the
+ feature. Per report from Pavel Stehule, though this isn't his
+ patch. Back-patch to all supported branches.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4a2516a7f976e2f6671930904d4e97a4832eff9f">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4a2516a7f976e2f6671930904d4e97a4832eff9f</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove bogus use of PGDLLIMPORT. That macro should be attached to
+ extern declarations, not actual definitions of variables.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=1d9a0abec1224193fea3acf766b587fc3963a3b8">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=1d9a0abec1224193fea3acf766b587fc3963a3b8</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix portability issues in new src/port/inet_net_ntop.c file. 1.
+ Don't #include postgres.h in a frontend build. 2. Don't assume that
+ the backend's symbol PGSQL_AF_INET6 has anything to do with the
+ constant that will be used by system library functions (because, in
+ point of fact, it usually doesn't). Fortunately, PGSQL_AF_INET is
+ equal to AF_INET, so we can just cater for both sets of values in
+ one case construct without fear of conflict.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=3840bc0847aa1b635127ff4a55b5257c9ebc79b8">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=3840bc0847aa1b635127ff4a55b5257c9ebc79b8</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Clean up IPv4 vs IPv6 bogosity in connectFailureMessage(). Newly
+ added code was supposing that "struct sockaddr_in" applies to IPv6.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=be3b666eb810089fd9a1d42e3888be52ab9ddb63">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=be3b666eb810089fd9a1d42e3888be52ab9ddb63</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Rewrite PQping to be more like what we agreed to last week.
+ Basically, we want to distinguish all cases where the connection was
+ not made from those where it was. A convenient proxy for this is to
+ see if we got a message with a SQLSTATE code back from the
+ postmaster. This presumes that the postmaster will always send us a
+ SQLSTATE in a failure message, which is true for 7.4 and later
+ postmasters in every case except fork failure. (We could possibly
+ complicate the postmaster code to do something about that, but it
+ seems not worth the trouble, especially since pg_ctl's response for
+ that case should be to keep waiting anyway.) If we did get a
+ SQLSTATE from the postmaster, there are basically only two cases, as
+ per last week's discussion: ERRCODE_CANNOT_CONNECT_NOW and
+ everything else. Any other error code implies that the postmaster
+ is in principle willing to accept connections, it just didn't like
+ or couldn't handle this particular request. We want to make a
+ special case for ERRCODE_CANNOT_CONNECT_NOW so that "pg_ctl start
+ -w" knows it should keep waiting. In passing, pick names for the
+ enum constants that are a tad less likely to present collision
+ hazards in future.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=db96e1ccfcb8f3514eef931bea9435974ec7ad28">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=db96e1ccfcb8f3514eef931bea9435974ec7ad28</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- On further testing, PQping also needs an explicit check for
+ AUTH_REQ. The pg_fe_sendauth code might fail if it can't handle the
+ authentication request message type --- if so, ping should still say
+ the server is up.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=49cd8a3f810467632260f16c7779f19212c1d094">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=49cd8a3f810467632260f16c7779f19212c1d094</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- A bit more wordsmithing on the PQping documentation.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=d53c1255d9730b07d56166ace1191250ca76f496">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=d53c1255d9730b07d56166ace1191250ca76f496</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Point out in default_tablespace's description that CREATE DATABASE
+ ignores it. Per gripe from Andreas Scherbaum.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c623365ff9a5ef937e05b85c2feb5a5c5cde9b3b">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c623365ff9a5ef937e05b85c2feb5a5c5cde9b3b</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Bruce Momjian pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- When reporting the server as not responding, if the hostname was
+ supplied, also print the IP address. This allows IPv4 and IPv6
+ failures to be distinguished. Also useful when a hostname resolves
+ to multiple IP addresses. Also, remove use of inet_ntoa() and use
+ our own inet_net_ntop() in all places, including in libpq, because
+ it is thread-safe.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ba11258ccbf364d85de48b8b7fd46953ea7bb4f4">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ba11258ccbf364d85de48b8b7fd46953ea7bb4f4</a>

+
+<p>
+- Document that a CHECKPOINT before taking a file system snapshot can
+ reduce recovery time.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7276ab5888d85782d988fc297ad2e176c7ad1bca">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7276ab5888d85782d988fc297ad2e176c7ad1bca</a>

+
+<p>
+- Properly add new inet_net_ntop file to libpq Makefile.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=58dfb07b5d84c0088033e2d22fc44df812fa6eb5">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=58dfb07b5d84c0088033e2d22fc44df812fa6eb5</a>

+
+<p>
+- Restructure how libpq includes external C files, for clarity.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c6978ecd6f761388d8479c8b32cfd0dd2d2bd4ac">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c6978ecd6f761388d8479c8b32cfd0dd2d2bd4ac</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix getaddrinfo() in pgport to use proper parameters, as detected by
+ Win32 buildfarm members.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=212a1c7b0b4164e15381af327ee6656ae7e02298">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=212a1c7b0b4164e15381af327ee6656ae7e02298</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add PQping and PQpingParams to libpq to allow detection of the
+ server's status, including a status where the server is running but
+ refuses a postgres connection. Have pg_ctl use this new function.
+ This fixes the case where pg_ctl reports that the server is not
+ running (cannot connect) but in fact it is running.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=afd7d9adca971d9aae97e87ce617d8608d25ab10">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=afd7d9adca971d9aae97e87ce617d8608d25ab10</a>

+
+<p>
+- Improve pg_ctl "cannot connect" warning, per suggestion from Magnus.

+
+<p>
+- Improve pg_ctl "cannot connect" spacing, per Tom Lane, and wording.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5f4b3d750b7648d90486827a3de58c226daa2c58">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=5f4b3d750b7648d90486827a3de58c226daa2c58</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In libpq/Makefile, merge PERM_PGPORT and OPT_PGPORT into a single
+ Makefile variable PGPORT, for clarity.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a9b02ec654434e7e395b8677ba142a99eed7eb5e">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a9b02ec654434e7e395b8677ba142a99eed7eb5e</a>

+
+<p>
+- Abandon use of Makefile variables in libpq/Makefile because MSVC
+ scrapes the OBJS lines from that file. Cleanup where possible.

+- Move call to GetTopTransactionId() earlier in LockAcquire(),
+ removing an infrequently occurring race condition in Hot Standby.
+ An xid must be assigned before a lock appears in shared memory,
+ rather than immediately after, else GetRunningTransactionLocks() may
+ see InvalidTransactionId, causing assertion failures during lock
+ processing on standby. Bug report and diagnosis by Fujii Masao, fix
+ by me.
