PostgreSQL v7.0.1 Released

06-01-2000 - PostgreSQL v7.0.1 Released

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group is proud to announce the release
of PostgreSQL v7.0.1. This is essentially acleanup of v7.0. A dump/restore
is not required if you're moving from v7.0. If you're migrating from a
release earlier than v7.0 a dump/restore will be necessary.

The release is available on ftp.postgresql.org, at:

ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v7.0.1

As well as our various mirror affiliates ...

I am a little bit confused about this release. It seems pre-formatted
html docs and man files are not included in
ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v7.0.1/postgresql.7.0.1.tar.gz

cd /usr/local/src/pgsql/7.0.1/postgresql-7.0.1/doc
make install
make all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/pgsql/7.0.1/postgresql-7.0.1/doc'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `admin', needed by `all'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/pgsql/7.0.1/postgresql-7.0.1/doc'
make: *** [install] Error 2

So I grabed postgresql.7.0.1.docs.tar.gz and looked into the contents,
but I couldn't find pre-formatted docs. Am I missing something?

Also, bellow is different from the release note included in the tar ball?

Changes

Fix many CLUSTER failures (Tom)
Allow ALTER TABLE RENAME works on indexes (Tom)
Fix plpgsql to handle datetime->timestamp and
timespan->interval (Bruce)
New configure --with-setproctitle switch to use setproctitle() (Marc, Bruce)
Fix the off by one errors in ResultSet from 6.5.3, and more.
jdbc ResultSet fixes (Joseph Shraibman)
optimizer tunings (Tom)
Fix create user for pgaccess
Fix for UNLISTEN failure
IRIX fixes (David Kaelbling)
QNX fixes (Andreas Kardos)
Reduce COPY IN lock level (Tom)
Change libpqeasy to use PQconnectdb() style parameters (Bruce)
Fix pg_dump to handle OID indexes (Tom)
Fix small memory leak (Tom)
Solaris fix for createdb/dropdb
Fix for non-blocking connections (Alfred Perlstein)
Fix improper recovery after RENAME TABLE failures (Tom)
Copy pg_ident.conf.sample into /lib directory in install (Bruce)

BTW, why
the tar ball is named postgresql.7.0.1.tar.gz, rather than
postgresql-7.0.1.tar.gz?

This may confuse users becasue following descriptions are in INSTALL:

d'oh ... my build script got toasted awhile back, and I had to re-write it
all ... failing to include the formatted docs, it appears :( my fault ...
