The last I saw, we agreed (on the client side) to leave the current
settings for 8k tuples.

pg_user defaults to world-readable until passwords used(Todd)
psql .psqlrc file startup(Andrew)

PS: I'm having to commute to London all this week, so I'm not getting the
time to do anything :-(

Hopefully it should ease after this Friday.

Unfortunately I simply don't have time to implement any of the nicer suggestions
for how this should work. I wish I did...

Know the feeling... I commute to London every day :-( (except when I

OK, what are we doing the .psqlrc. Can you send the old patch, or are
we dropping it for 6.3?

I thought we were increasing the client size to the maximum value
allowable for any backend.

It is purely a alpha copy, meant for testing purposes only, until Feb
1st...expect the new one coming out on Friday to have major changes in it

As far as I know, none of these are ready for 6.3, which is due on
Sunday. What is the game plan, folks?

And the tools/RELEASE_CHANGES files have not been updated. I
will do the FAQ, TODO, HISTORY files.

"bugs" can be fixed up to RELEASE date, which covers 4 of the
above...

And the tools/RELEASE_CHANGES files have not been updated. I

I believe I'm supposed to be handling the RELEASE_CHANGES
file...will take a look into that over the next week or so...its a month
before the RELEASE :)

I'm not sure if this is an example of the self-join bug mentioned above
or just an example of an "exceptional" computing challenge. I repost
the example so that those of you who understand what's going on can
judge for yourself.

This is 6.3 beta. IMHO, the stuff has to say at least 6.3, if not 6.3
beta by Feb 1. Don't want beta users saying they have 6.2.1.
