long-awaited version 8.3 of the most advanced open source database,
which cements our place as the best performing open source
database. Among the performance features you'll be excited about in
8.3 are:
* Heap Only Tuples
* BGWriter Autotuning
* Asynchronous Commit
* Spread Checkpoints
* Synchronous Scan
* "Var-Varlena"
* L2 Cache Protection
* Lazy XID
8.3 also has a lot of cool features for PostgreSQL DBAs and developers, including:
* CSV Logging
* SQL/XML
* MS Visual C++ support
* ENUMs
* Integrated Tsearch
* SSPI & GSSAPI
* Composite Type Arrays
* pg_standby
Thin fast full interface to the libmemcached client API
Memcached::libmemcached is a very thin, highly efficient,
wrapper around the libmemcached library.
It gives full access to the rich functionality offered by
libmemcached. libmemcached is fast, light on memory usage,
thread safe, and provide full access to server side methods.
- Synchronous and Asynchronous support.
- TCP and Unix Socket protocols.
- A half dozen or so different hash algorithms.
- Implementations of the new cas, replace, and append operators.
- Man pages written up on entire API.
- Implements both modulo and consistent hashing solutions.

libmemcached is a C and C++ client library to the memcached server
(http://danga.com/memcached). It has been designed to be light on memory usage,
thread safe, and provide full access to server side methods.
A few notes on its design:
# Synchronous and Asynchronous support.
# TCP and Unix Socket protocols.
# A half dozen or so different hash algorithms.
# Implementations of the new cas, replace, and append operators.
# Man pages written up on entire API.
# Implements both modulo and consistent hashing solutions.
It also implements several command line tools:
memcat - Copy the value of a key to standard output
memflush - Flush the contents of your servers.
memrm - Remove a key(s) from the serrver.
memcp - Copy files to a memached server.
memstat - Dump the stats of your servers to standard output
memslap - Generate testing loads on a memcached cluster

[1] Fix problem installing from package.
[2] Use DISTVERSION instead of PORTVERSION.
(the port reports now correct version 8.3.r2)
[2] Enable more 8.3 features:
- Add OPTION for the new XML data type (default: enabled)
- Add OPTION for usage of system timezone data (default: included tzdata)

* When installed using WITH_SUPHP use a fix username/UID from
/usr/ports/UIDs. There's no equivalent /usr/ports/GIDs entry
because it defaults to group 'www'.
* Consequently change the default username from phpmyadm to _pma
and add an entry to /usr/ports/UIDs:
_pma:*:336:80:phpMyAdmin Owner:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
* Use the standard $WWWDIR for PLIST_SUB and SUB_LIST, instead of
rolling my own equivalent.
* Various internal code changes and clean-up
* Bump PORTREVISION
Note: the changes here mostly affect compilation with WITH_SUPHP
defined. If you're not a suPHP user, then there's very little
ultimately that has changed.

variable references into a conventional SQL string and list
of bind values suitable for passing onto DBI. This simple
technique creates database calls that are simpler to create
and easier to read, while still giving you full access to
custom SQL.
SQL::Interp properly binds or escapes variables. This recommended
practice safeguards against "SQL injection" attacks. The DBI
documentation has several links on the topic.
Besides the simple techniques shown above, The SQL-Interpolate
distribution includes the optional DBIx::Interp module.

database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a
key and a value. Every key and value is serial bytes with variable
length. Both binary data and character string can be used as a key and
a value. There is neither concept of data tables nor data types.
Records are organized in hash table or B+ tree.

Similar to top, ptop allows you to monitor PostgreSQL processes.
It also allows you to:
* View currently running SQL statement of a process.
* View query plan of a currently running SELECT statement.
* View locks held by a process.
* View user table statistics.
* View user index statistics.

Something in the infrastructure changed in the late July timeframe that
actually caused this problem. The only major thing at that time was the
autoconf/libtool change, but I can't see how that could have caused this
failure mode. It only happens on 5.x; 6.x and 7.x are fine.

GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).
The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and
contributors:
