Other Activity This Week

In v10 release notes, call out sequence changes as a compatibility item
Tom Lane: The previous description didn't make it clear that this change potentially breaks applications, partly because the entry wasn't even in the compatibility-hazard section.

Doc: fix thinko in v10 release notes
Tom Lane: s/log_destination/log_directory/, per Jov in bug #14749.

Fix broken link-command-line ordering for libpgfeutils
Tom Lane: In the frontend Makefiles that pull in libpgfeutils, we'd generally done it like this: LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport) That method is badly broken, as seen in bug #14742 from Chris Ruprecht.

Fix typo in v10 release notes
Alvaro Herrera: The new functions return a list of files in the corresponding directory, not the name of the directory itself.

Fix race between GetNewTransactionId and GetOldestActiveTransactionId
Heikki Linnakangas: The race condition goes like this: 1.

Doc: desultory copy-editing for v10 release notes
Tom Lane: Improve many item descriptions, improve markup, relocate some items that seemed to be in the wrong section.

MSVC: Repair libpq.rc generator
Noah Misch: It generates an empty file, so libpq.dll advertises no version information.

pg_ctl: Make failure to complete operation a nonzero exit
Peter Eisentraut: If an operation being waited for does not complete within the timeout, then exit with a nonzero exit status.

Reduce delay for last logicalrep feedback message when master goes idle
Tom Lane: The regression tests contain numerous cases where we do some activity on a master server and then wait till the slave has ack'd flushing its copy of that transaction.

Change pg_ctl to detect server-ready by watching status in postmaster.pid
Tom Lane: Traditionally, "pg_ctl start -w" has waited for the server to become ready to accept connections by attempting a connection once per second.

PostgreSQL Release Tags

Automate the maintenance of SO_MINOR_VERSION for our shared libraries
Tom Lane: Up to now we've manually adjusted these numbers in several different Makefiles at the start of each development cycle.

Advance PG_CONTROL_VERSION.
Tom Lane: This should have been done in commit 73c986adde5d73a5 which added several new fields to pg_control, and again in commit 5028f22f6eb05798 which changed the CRC algorithm, but it wasn't.

Tab complete CREATE EXTENSION .. VERSION.
Robert Haas: Jeff Janes

Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION for previous 9.4 changes
Tom Lane: This should have been done in 6bc8ef0b7f1f1df3998745a66e1790e27424aa0c and/or 50e547096c4858a68abf09894667a542cc418315, but better late than never.

Most Popular In The Past Month

Ignore old stats file timestamps when starting the stats collector
Tom Lane: The stats collector disregards inquiry messages that bear a cutoff_time before when it last wrote the relevant stats file.

pg_ctl: Make failure to complete operation a nonzero exit
Peter Eisentraut: If an operation being waited for does not complete within the timeout, then exit with a nonzero exit status.

Further hacking on ICU collation creation and usage
Tom Lane: pg_import_system_collations() refused to create any ICU collations if the current database's encoding didn't support ICU.
