The other way to check the change history is to troll the pgsql-committers archives http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/ although certainly cvs2cl output is a lot easier to scan. My $0.02: if you really want the latest and greatest, the nightly snapshot tarball of the current stable branch would be the thing to grab, rather than fooling with individual patches. regards, tom lane
