Bruce,

Please add followings to HISTORY:

Formats with the correct number of columns for UNICODE in psql (Patrice)
Add ISO 8859-5,6,7,8 support (Tatsuo)
Optimize LIKE/ILIKE when using single-byte encodings (Tatsuo)

Also I suggest we note somewhere that now octet_length(text) returns
the length BEFORE compression for an incompatible change.

   octet_length(text_col) now returns non-compressed length (Tatsuo, Bruce)

Done.

Thanks. But I did nothing for this. Please remove my name.

BTW, are we going to make followings happen for 7.2?

* Add octet_length_server() and octet_length_client() (Thomas, Tatsuo)
* Make octet_length_client the same as octet_length()

But I did very little code for it myself.  Just copied from another
function.  Finding the problem was the majority of the work, and you did
that.

No, we will leave octet_length() alone and revisit for 7.3.  It is a low
priority and adding these would require initdb, and it is too late in
the release cycle anyway.
