As the email posted to the announce and interfaces list, attached is a tar
file containing the latest version of the JDBC driver, allowing it to be
compiled and used under JDK 1.2 and later.
NB: None (well almost none) of the new methods actually do anything. This
release only handles getting it to compile and run. Now this is done, I'll
start working on implementing the new stuff.
Now this tar file replaces everything under src/interfaces/jdbc. I had to
do it this way, rather than diffs, because most of the classes under the
postgresql subdirectory have moved to a new directory under that one, to
enable the support of the two JDBC standards.
Here's a list of files in the tar file. Any file not listed here (in the
postgresql directory) will have to be deleted, otherwise it could cause
the driver to fail:

Add configure test to see whether vsnprintf() is present,
separately from snprintf() --- HPUX, for one, has snprintf but not
vsnprintf. Fix a minor typo in snprintf.c, too.
Tom Lane [Sun, 17 Jan 1999 03:10:23 +0000 (03:10 +0000)]
Remove uses of MSG_WAITALL temporarily, since it doesn't
seem to be portable (HPUX doesn't like it, anyway). Also, clean up
StreamConnection(), which was mis-coded to assume that the address
family field is already set when it's called.

Here's another patch for the libpq backend areas. This patch removes all
usage of "FILE *" on the communications channel. It also cleans up the
comments and headers in the pqcomm.c file - a lot of things were either
missing or incorrect. Finally, it removes a couple of unused functions
(leftovers from the time of shared code between the libpq backend and
frontend).

Here is a first patch to cleanup the backend side of libpq.
This patch removes all external dependencies on the "Pfin" and "Pfout" that
are declared in pqcomm.h. These variables are also changed to "static" to
make sure.
Almost all the change is in the handler of the "copy" command - most other
areas of the backend already used the correct functions.
This change will make the way for cleanup of the internal stuff there - now
that all the functions accessing the file descriptors are confined to a
single directory.
Be more careful to check input string lengths as well as values
when deciding whether a field is a year field. Assume *anything* longer
than 2 digits (if it isn't a special-case doy) is a valid year.
This should fix the "Y1K" and "Y10K" problems
pointed out by Massimo recently.
Check usage of BC to require a positive-valued year; before just used it
to flip the sign of the year without checking. This led to problems
near year zero.
Allow a 5 digit "concatenated date" of 2 digit year plus day of year.
Do 2->4 digit year correction for 6 and 5 digit "concatenated dates".
Somehow forgot this originally. Guess not many folks use it...
Handle "NaN" and "Infinity" for input values.
I think NAN is already guaranteed to be there from Jan's work on NUMERIC,
but perhaps HUGE_VAL needs some #ifndef's in the same place.
Should also include "-Infinity" as -HUGE_VAL sometime; not there yet.
Add entries for introduction chapter components such as Y2K statement.
Use a <citetitle> rather than <xref> when referring to libpq
since that chapter is not included in the tutorial.
Change ordering of HAVE_TM_ZONE and HAVE_INT_TIMEZONE code blocks
to give HAVE_TM_ZONE priority. This fixes glibc2 machines and any other
machine which passes both tests in configure.
Repair HAVE_TM_ZONE code which stuffs tm structure with date type values.
Same problems as were originally there before v6.1, but never noticed.
Thanks to Oleg for nagging :)
Clean up to ensure tag completion as required by the newest versions
of Norm's Modular Style Sheets and jade/docbook.

Long awaited port for NetBSD/m68k was finally done by Mr. Mutsuki
Nakajima. Since he is not subscribing the mailing list, I'm posting
his patches by his request. According to him, he has successfully
compiled and passed the regression test on Mac SE/30 running
NetBSD/m68k. Also, another person has reported that with the patches
PostgreSQL is working on NetBSD/sun3 too.

Here are descriptions:
- the first patch is just to preven listing the perl warning in the
make output unless it is actually emitted by the make. this may
prevent new users from being confused by the warning in their output
- the second patch (to 2 files) just enables building/installing
pgaccess if TCL and TK are available. a Makefile is created to do
this, but you may wish to change the heading information in it since
I just copied another Makefile to use as a template.

I have ported PostgreSQL 6.4 to Cobalt Qube running Linux 2.0.33 with
MIPS cpu (I think it's R4000). I have tested the patches on LinuxPPC
and FreeBSD. I believe they do not harm other platforms.

Include more details on editing with Emacs.
Remove mention of the old "migration" flat files.
Change URLs for resources to point to areas, not particular files.
That way things stay correct even when version of tools change.
Suggested by Vince Vielhaber.
Include Emacs DocBook DTD description file. May allow Emacs to understand
tags even if DocBook is not installed on your local system.
Most of the .sgml source files contain a reference to this file in an
Emacs setup block at the bottom of the file...
Information on the CVS tree and remote access.
Not yet complete, integrated, or marked up.
Not yet included in a document (should go in the developer's doc?).

Attached is a patch with some fixes that (I think that) should go into
6.4.1. Here is the list:
- The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
in other platforms.
- The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
differences in the error messages, are fixed.
- The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.
- Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
specific to DEC C.
- There is a (very basic) Digital Unix specific FAQ in
doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.

Compilation of libpq for Win32 breaks on 6.4, because of a change that I
missed before the release. It's simply a symbol that is undefined. This
patch defines this symbol in "win32.h", so it should have no effect on any
other platforms. It should go into 6.4.1 if possible, since compilation is
completely broken without it.
I am also attaching a patch for the "win32.mak" file - it leaves a file
behind when doing "make clean" after the library is built on Visual C++ 6.0.
This is not at all as urgent, but I don't see it breaking here, so I think
it might as well go in there too?

more cleanups...of note, appendStringInfo now performs like sprintf(),
where you state a format and arguments. the old behavior required
each appendStringInfo to have to have a sprintf() before it if any
formatting was required.
Also shortened several instances where there were multiple appendStringInfo()
calls in a row, doing nothing more then adding one more word to the String,
instead of doing them all in one call.
