    - Parallel Restore

    - Improved hash indexes

    - Per-function runtime statistics
    - Easy editing of functions in psql
    - New contrib modules: pg_stat_statements, auto_explain, citext,

    Upload to unstable, 8.4 is the new default. 
  * debian/control: Build the versionless metapackages and have them point to
    8.4.

  * First release candidate of 8.4.

postgresql-8.4 (8.4~beta2-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Second public beta of 8.4.
  * debian/control: Slightly lower the dependencies for postgresql-common to
    >= 98~, so that backports also match.

postgresql-8.4 (8.4~beta1+cvs20090503-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream snapshot.

postgresql-8.4 (8.4~beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * debian/*.install: Add new gettext translations.
  * debian/control: Bump p-common dependency to >= 98 to ensure support for
    8.4.

postgresql-8.4 (8.4~0cvs20090328-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Package current trunk, which will become 8.4 in time. Packaging branched
    from 8.3 packaging trunk. Move from cdbs' tarball.mk to bzr-builddeb.
  * Drop obsolete patches:
    - 03-gettext-domains.patch: Adopted upstream.
    - 04-psql-passwordprompt.patch: Obsoleted by new psql -w option.
    - 05-check-rlimits-nofile.patch: Adopted upstream.
  * Update remaining patches for new upstream version.
  * Add debian/docbook2man-sgmlspl/docbook2man-spec{.pl,_makelinks}: Current
    Debian version in docbook-utils is way too old and broken (see #275715,
    #271611), locally ship the current ones from upstream, in order to build
    manpages.
  * debian/rules: Build documentation and manpage tarballs if not present (as
    with building from CVS). Add necessary build dependencies docbook-utils,
    openjade, and docbook.
