(1) Replace while loop with the new forboth() construct in
parser/analyze.c
(2) Replace lcons() with lappend() in SearchCatCacheList(). Since these
now have the same performance, there is no reason to prefer lcons() in
this case, and using lappend() leads to cleaner code.
(3) Improve the name of the second parameter to for_each_cell()
and hopefully improve code clarity while at it. One intentional
semantics change: a backslashed space will not be treated as removable
trailing whitespace, as the prior coding would do. ISTM that if it
wouldn't be considered removable leading whitespace, it shouldn't be
stripped at the end either.
build in mingw. The MSVC build already did this, but it was not linked
into the mingw one.
This is not the same as the versioninfo patch that's in the queue.
Please apply this one before beta-3 if at all possible.

setting is valid must ignore that state and permit the assignment anyway
when source is PGC_S_OVERRIDE. Otherwise they may disallow a rollback
at transaction abort, which is The Wrong Thing. Per example from

Given that PostgreSQL will output a message complaining about it's
absence if you're using SSL mode, I feel it's important that it gets a
mention in the documentation at some point.

this, it's hard to debug core-dump test failures, because WAL replay will
enthusiastically remove the core file (along with the rest of the
regression database directory). Per recent discussion, not to mention
bitter experience.
when a function that returns a single tuple (not a setof tuple) returns
NULL. This seems to be the most consistent behavior. It would have
taken a bit less code to make it return an empty table (zero rows) but
ISTM a non-SETOF function ought always return exactly one row. Per
bug report from Ivan-Sun1.
address all of the items in the todo list and adds some new
things as well. Specifically:
* Add support for ALTER SEQUENCE ...
* Add "RENAME TO" for ALTER TRIGGER xx ON yy
* Pick proper table for ALTER TRIGGER xx ON ...
* Support for ALTER USER xxx ...
* Fix ALTER GROUP xxx DROP ...
* Fix ALTER DOMAIN xxx DROP ...
* Remove "OWNER TO" from ALTER DOMAIN xx DROP ...
* Fix ALTER DOMAIN xx SET DEFAULT ..
* Prevent ALTER INDEX xxx SET TABLESPACE from using "TO"
* Support for ALTER LANGUAGE xxx (RENAME TO)
* More support for ALTER TABLE xxx ALTER COLUMN xxx ...
* More support for COPY

was large enough to be batched and the tuples fell into a batch where
there were no inner tuples at all. Thanks to Xiaoyu Wang for finding a
test case that exposed this long-standing bug.
creating a new tuple. This is just for debugging sanity, though, since
nothing should be paying any attention to xmax when the HEAP_XMAX_INVALID
bit is set.
pg_subtrans --- what we need is the oldest xmin of any snapshot in use
in the current top transaction. Introduce a new variable TransactionXmin
to play this role. Fixes intermittent regression failure reported by
Neil Conway.
as per recent discussions. Invent SubTransactionIds that are managed like
CommandIds (ie, counter is reset at start of each top transaction), and
use these instead of TransactionIds to keep track of subtransaction status
in those modules that need it. This means that a subtransaction does not
need an XID unless it actually inserts/modifies rows in the database.
Accordingly, don't assign it an XID nor take a lock on the XID until it
tries to do that. This saves a lot of overhead for subtransactions that
are only used for error recovery (eg plpgsql exceptions). Also, arrange
to release a subtransaction's XID lock as soon as the subtransaction
exits, in both the commit and abort cases. This avoids holding many
unique locks after a long series of subtransactions. The price is some
additional overhead in XactLockTableWait, but that seems acceptable.
Finally, restructure the state machine in xact.c to have a more orthogonal
set of states for subtransactions.
