+<h2>Applied Patches</h2>
+<p>
+Tom Lane committed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add range checks to time_recv() and timetz_recv(), to prevent binary
+ input of time values that would not be accepted via textual input.
+ Per gripe from Andrew McNamara. This is potentially a
+ back-patchable bug fix, but for the moment it doesn't seem
+ sufficiently high impact to justify doing that.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove unused declarations of EncodeTimeOnly and DecodeTimeOnly.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Allow the second argument of pg_get_expr() to be just zero when
+ deparsing an expression that's not supposed to contain variables.
+ Per discussion with Gevik Babakhani, this eliminates the need for an
+ ugly kluge (namely, specifying some unrelated relation name).
+ Remove one such kluge from pg_dump.
+
+- Remove the useless and rather inconsistent return values of
+ EncodeDateOnly, EncodeTimeOnly, EncodeDateTime, EncodeInterval.
+ These don't have any good reason to fail, and their callers were
+ mostly not checking anyway.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Improve documentation about function volatility: mention the
+ snapshot visibility effects in a couple of places where people are
+ likely to look for it. Per discussion of recent question from Karl
+ Nack.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Ignore RECHECK in CREATE OPERATOR CLASS, just throwing a NOTICE,
+ instead of throwing an error as 8.4 had been doing. The error
+ interfered with porting old database definitions (particularly for
+ pg_migrator) without really buying any safety. Per bug #4817 and
+ subsequent discussion.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In pgsql/doc/src/sgml/release-8.4.sgml, improve release note
+ explanation of the change in libpq's handling of default usernames
+ versus Kerberos tickets. Per confusion about what bug #4824 was
+ really about.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In pgsql/src/backend/catalog/index.c, update obsolete comment in
+ index_drop(). When the comment was written, queries frequently took
+ no lock at all on individual indexes. That's not true any more, but
+ we still need lock on the parent table to make it safe to use cached
+ lists of index OIDs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Bruce Momjian committed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In pgsql/doc/src/sgml/backup.sgml, remove tabs from SGML file.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In pgsql/doc/src/sgml/libpq.sgml, document that forking while having
+ open libpq connections is not advised.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Michael Meskes committed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c, reverting patch just in
+ case a compiler treats this enum as signed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Change macros to make gcc quiet when parsing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Peter Eisentraut committed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix compiler warnings on Sun Studio of the sort '"tsquery_op.c",
+ line 193: warning: syntax error: empty declaration.' Zdenek Kotala.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix to use the same format specifiers in both branches of a
+ ngettext(). Zdenek Kotala.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Magnus Hagander committed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In pgsql/src/backend/libpq/auth.c, properly return the usermap
+ result when doing gssapi authentication. Without this, the username
+ was in practice never matched against the kerberos principal used to
+ log in.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Heikki Linnakangas committed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In pgsql/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c, when archiving is
+ enabled, rotate the last WAL segment at shutdown so that all
+ transactions are archived. Original patch by Guillaume Smet.
+</p>
