AFAICT this has been dead code since Postgres95. +</p> + +<p> +- Make a couple of small changes to the tuplestore API, for the + benefit of the upcoming window-functions patch. First, + tuplestore_trim is now an exported function that must be explicitly + invoked by callers at appropriate times, rather than something that + tuplestore tries to do behind the scenes. Second, a read pointer + that is marked as allowing backward scan no longer prevents + truncation. This means that a read pointer marked as having + BACKWARD but not REWIND capability can only safely read backwards as + far as the oldest other read pointer. (The expected use pattern for + this involves having another read pointer that serves as the + truncation fencepost.) +</p> + +<p> +- Support window functions a la SQL:2008. Hitoshi Harada, with some + kibitzing from Heikki and Tom. +</p> + +<p> +- Tighten up a couple of regression test cases that can have + platform-dependent results due to underspecified ordering.
