Here are the release notes as they stand now; with Jan's commits over
the last day, it looks like we have everything committed to resolve
issues with EXECUTE SCRIPT and log shipping.

I'll be doing some testing on my "platforms of interest" over the next
couple of days; if others can run tests they care about, that would be
a great thing.

I plan to tag and release 1.2.10 by the end of the week; the hope is
that this will be the final version in the 1.2 branch, as work now
progresses on an 8.3-oriented "2.0" branch on HEAD.

RELEASE 1.2.10

- Fixed problem with EXECUTE SCRIPT (EXECUTE ONLY ON = <node>)

  - The script was being executed on too many nodes...

- Added a test script for log shipping

  ... And alter it to add invocation of a DDL script.  This
  allows testing for an event-counting problem in log shipping.

- Changes to support PostgreSQL 8.3 as VARATT_SIZEP has been deprecated

- in xxid.c, changes to support PostgreSQL 8.3 as tuple compression has
  more extensive support

  VARDATA_ANY(PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED((PG_GETARG_DATUM(0))))
  tends to replace
  PG_GETARG_VARLENA(0)

- Slonik's SYNC command never recorded the new seqno in the admin
  conninfo, with potential wacky results for WAIT FOR EVENT

- Fix rpm build problem when the system has pg_config in both under
  /usr/local/pgsql/bin and /usr/bin

- Add init script for Red Hat / Fedora

- Fix archive log ship tracking. Slon now tracks the setsync status in
  memory and generates a void archive with the correct old,new event
  seqno for all events.

- EXECUTE SCRIPT wasn't setting sl_setsync, which broke WAIT FOR EVENT
  on these events

- Ducttape test #5 (which performs DDL changes) augmented to test use
  of WAIT FOR EVENT
