UTF support in WIN32 native and Lower/Upper in 7.5 release
I'm looking at "TODO list for PostgreSQL" and "Fix upper()/lower() to
work for multibyte encodings" has no dash (-) -- so it won't be made in
7.5 ?
Another question is about WIN32 native release - currently, all win
users cannot set locales, becouse Cygwin does not support it -- I hope
that it will be solved in native release, so UTF-8 should work as well ??
Just wanted to know how to plan my further work. Thanks.

An item in the TODO list only gets a dash when it is complete. The fact
that it does not have a dash does not mean that there is no hope for the
7.5 release, as Peter E is working on this particular item.

You may be confusing locale with encoding here. UTF-8 is an encoding not
a locale.

Well, yes. But locales are needed if we want to sort query results with
local signs ?

Not sure. CC'ing the win32 list.

No dash against an item doesn't mean it won't be done for 7.5, just that
nobody apparently has yet. If you want to do it then go for it ;-)
I believe he native W32 libraries support locales except for one setting -
I forget which (possibly LC_MESSAGES?).
