This changes the behavior of the start and stop actions to exit
successfully if the server was already started or stopped.
This changes the default behavior of the start action: Before, if the
server was already running, it would print a message and succeed. Now,
that situation will result in an error. When running in idempotent
mode, no message is printed and pg_ctl exits successfully.
It was considered to just make the idempotent behavior the default and
only option, but pg_upgrade needs the old behavior.
This wasn't addressed in the original patch, but it doesn't take very
much additional code to cover the case, so let's get it done.
Since pg_trgm 1.1 hasn't been released yet, I just changed the definition
of what's in it, rather than inventing a 1.2.
This works by extracting trigrams from the given regular expression,
in generally the same spirit as the previously-existing support for
LIKE searches, though of course the details are far more complicated.
Currently, only GIN indexes are supported. We might be able to make
it work with GiST indexes later.
The implementation includes adding API functions to backend/regex/
to provide a view of the search NFA created from a regular expression.
These functions are meant to be generic enough to be supportable in
a standalone version of the regex library, should that ever happen.

This will hopefully be easier to use than pg_config for users who are
already used to the pkg-config interface. It also works better for
multi-arch installations.

The JSON parser is converted into a recursive descent parser, and
exposed for use by other modules such as extensions. The API provides
hooks for all the significant parser event such as the beginning and end
of objects and arrays, and providing functions to handle these hooks
allows for fairly simple construction of a wide variety of JSON
processing functions. A set of new basic processing functions and
operators is also added, which use this API, including operations to
extract array elements, object fields, get the length of arrays and the
set of keys of a field, deconstruct an object into a set of key/value
pairs, and create records from JSON objects and arrays of objects.
Catalog version bumped.

I changed this in commit fd15dba543247eb1ce879d22632b9fdb4c230831, but
missed the fact that the SGML documentation of the function specified
exactly what it did. Well, one of the two places where it's specified
documented that --- probably I looked at the other place and thought
nothing needed to be done. Sync the two places where encode() and
decode() are described.
The main change here is to call security_compute_create_name_raw()
rather than security_compute_create_raw(). This ups the minimum
requirement for libselinux from 2.0.99 to 2.1.10, but it looks
like most distributions will have picked that up before 9.3 is out.

This event takes place just before ddl_command_end, and is fired if and
only if at least one object has been dropped by the command. (For
instance, DROP TABLE IF EXISTS of a table that does not in fact exist
will not lead to such a trigger firing). Commands that drop multiple
objects (such as DROP SCHEMA or DROP OWNED BY) will cause a single event
to fire. Some firings might be surprising, such as
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN.
The trigger is fired after the drop has taken place, because that has
been deemed the safest design, to avoid exposing possibly-inconsistent
internal state (system catalogs as well as current transaction) to the
user function code. This means that careful tracking of object
identification is required during the object removal phase.
Like other currently existing events, there is support for tag
filtering.
To support the new event, add a new pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects()
set-returning function, which returns a set of rows comprising the
objects affected by the command. This is to be used within the user
function code, and is mostly modelled after the recently introduced
pg_identify_object() function.
Catalog version bumped due to the new function.

A new 'starttli' field was added to the response of BASE_BACKUP command.
Make pg_basebackup tolerate the case that it's missing, so that it still
works with older servers.
Add an explicit check for the server version, so that you get a nicer error
message if you try to use it with a pre-9.1 server.
The streaming protocol message format changed in 9.3, so -X stream still won't
work with pre-9.3 servers. I added a version check to ReceiveXLogStream()
earlier, but write that slightly differently, so that in 9.4, it will still
work with a 9.3 server. (In 9.4, the error message needs to be adjusted to
"9.3 or above", though). Also, if the version check fails, don't retry.
New infrastructure is added which creates a set number of workers
(threads on Windows, forked processes on Unix). Jobs are then
handed out to these workers by the master process as needed.
pg_restore is adjusted to use this new infrastructure in place of the
old setup which created a new worker for each step on the fly. Parallel
dumps acquire a snapshot clone in order to stay consistent, if
available.
The parallel option is selected by the -j / --jobs command line
parameter of pg_dump.
Joachim Wieland, lightly editorialized by Andrew Dunstan.
Doing that results in a broken index entry in PDF output. We had only
a few like that, which is probably why nobody noticed before.
Standardize on putting the <term> first.

One of the use-cases for postgres_fdw is extracting data from older PG
servers, so cross-version compatibility is important. Document what we
can do here, and further annotate some of the coding choices that create
compatibility constraints. In passing, remove one unnecessary
incompatibility with old servers, namely assuming that we didn't need to
quote the timezone name 'UTC'.
Commit 13fe298ca06f5390df5edf073cf401f9f0b67458 changed this GUC to be
PGC_SUSET, but neglected to update the documentation to match.
While at it, edit and rearrange the text a little for clarity.
