d9236a69fc Make libpq default to localhost connections on machines without Unix-domain 
sockets, rather than failing as it formerly did.  Revert the
thereby-obsoleted patch to make psql supply the localhost default.

39475990e0 Move info about psql console code page issues out of install-win32.sgml, 
where it doesn't belong, and put it in the psql reference page.

370f90970d Cause pg_hba.conf file inclusion (@file stuff) to behave as documented, 
that is, files are sought in the same directory as the referencing file.
Also allow absolute paths in @file constructs.  Improve documentation
to actually say what is allowed in an included file.

766b0bbb4d Add mention that pg_ctl will return an accurate exit code when waiting 
for startup or shutdown.  We have always done this but it wasn't documented.

bbb2e21e14 I was recently surprised to find that EXTRACT's day of the week 
numbering is different than TO_CHAR's ditto. EXTRACT starts at 0==Sunday
while TO_CHAR starts at 1==Sunday.

A suggestion for two documentation notes is attached as a patch to
current CVS HEAD.

b5ae0d69da Mark the TimeZone parameter as GUC_REPORT, so that JDBC can find out 
when it changes.  Per request from Kris Jurka.

480777e56c Allow 'ELSEIF' as an alternative to 'ELSIF' in PL/PgSQL. There have been 
several reports of users being confused when they attempt to use ELSEIF
and run into trouble due to PL/PgSQL's lax parser. The parser will be
improved for 8.1, but we can fix most of the problem by allowing ELSEIF
for now.
