Yup, we're overdue for that, so:

After some discussion among core and the packagers list, we have
tentatively set June 9 as the release date for minor updates of
all supported PG release branches (back to 7.4). As has been the
recent practice, code freeze will occur the preceding Thursday, June 5.

If you've got any bug fixes you've been working on, now is a good time
to get them finished up and sent in...

regards, tom lane

Has the s/\x09/ /g patch for psql from Bruce and you been
backported to 8.3? I didn't see it on pgsql-commiters.

No, nothing's been done about that AFAIK. What's the consensus,
do we want to change that behavior in 8.3.2?

No. I have not backpatched it because Tom found a problem with my
applied patch and did a second patch.

I am attaching both patches. The second one is Tom's and I don't
understand it well enough to backpatch it.

I think everyone but me wanted it backpatched, so let's do it. I have
posted both patches but I am unable to apply your additions becuause I
don't understand them well enough.

IIRC, noone voted against backpatching it after Alvaro and you agreed
with doing so.

It would be nice to have it fixed in 8.3.2, even if it's not really
blocking for the release.

IIRC I made a few cosmetic cleanups along with the actual bug fix.
I'll take a look this afternoon and put it in.
