Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on
first using of pl/tcl in backend if unknown suppport is really unused.
But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality.

an already installed iODBC or unixODBC driver manager.  In particular,
use the include files provided by the driver manager over our own,
and use the odbcinst library of the driver manager rather than gpps.c.

Migrate portability sections common to several files into psqlodbc.h.

unicode-conversion is always on if --enable-multibyte is specified

fall back to `cd $srcdir && /bin/pwd` = `/bin/pwd`.  One of these ought to
work, and if not, prep_buildtree is harmless.

See attached revised patch. (I'm sure the configure.in stuff can be done
right/better, I'm just not enough of a autoconf guru to know what to
change it to.)

Now with documentation update and disabling of UTF conversion for Tcl <=8.0

platforms and without relinking.

Also support VPATH builds and DESTDIR installs.  One hopes.

places that were including the wrong files.

points out how silly it is to use Autoconf to test for a preprocessor
symbol, when one can equally easily #ifdef on the symbol itself.
Accordingly, revert configure to prior state and do it that way.

system supports SO_PEERCRED requests for Unix sockets.  This is an
amalgamation of patches submitted by Helge Bahmann and Oliver Elphick,
with some editorializing by yours truly.

when built against readline 4.2.  Specifically, it handles the deprecation
of

    filename_completion_function()

with preference for

    rl_filename_completion_function()

Although, I was motivated by Cygwin support, IMO this patch is appropriate
for all platforms.  To quote from the readline source:

    #if 0
    /* Backwards compatibility (compat.c).  These will go away sometime. */
    ...
    extern READLINE_EXPORT(char, *filename_completion_function) ...
    #endif

Note that this patch is modeled after the one by Peter Eisentraut for
completion_matches():

    http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/readline42.html
I tested this patch under the following environments:

    Cygwin with readline 4.1
    Cygwin with readline 4.2
    Linux with readline 2.2.1
    Linux with readline 4.2

and it behaved as expected.

Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.

psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided.  In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.

ELF capability.

While this is true to some extent, this assumption makes it impossible
to compile PostgreSQL 7.1 and 7.2devel without the --disable-shared
switch during configuration.

Trond Endrest

there's no shared libpython.  Test suite works as well. Also, add some
documentation.

time to do it, not during beta because people are using this stuff in
production sometimes.

enables pltcl unknown support.


Also it adds substituting of tclsh with tclsh that was by configure in
pltcl_*mod scripts. For example, On freebsd, tclsh can be called
tclsh8.2 or
tclsh8.3 depending on installed version of Tcl.

After patching files
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_listmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_loadmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_delmod
must be renamed(copied,repocopied) to
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_listmod.in
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_loadmod.in
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_delmod.in

seva@sevasoft.kiev.ua

defines z_streamp.

tag the source tree as REL7_1, renaming the old tag REL7_1_BETA like it
should have been done

generate a new Changelog from rc4, which is nice and short ... one python
interface change

tag configure as 7.1, for generating the packages ...

This is it folks ... Release 7.1 is officially here ...

upgrade tags to rc4 (note lower case for packagers)

mark it as RC3 ...

RC2 preparations ...

accepts nnnLL syntax for long long constants.  If so, decorate the CRC64
constants with LL to avoid warnings and/or erroneous results from certain
non-standards-compliant compilers.

well, here goes our first Release Candidate for 7.1 *cross fingers*

upgrade version to beta6

prevent disguised failures.

AC_SUBST that messed up the diversions and thus the configure output.
