+ Slony-I Release approaching readiness - 1.2.10

+ 
+ 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.
+ 
+ <P> 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.
+ 
+ <P> 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.

+ <h2>RELEASE 1.2.10</h2>
+ 
+ <ol>
+ <li>Fixed problem with EXECUTE SCRIPT (EXECUTE ONLY ON = <node>)
+ 
+   <P> The script was being executed on too many nodes...
+ 
+ <li> Added a test script for log shipping
+ 
+   <P> ... And alter it to add invocation of a DDL script.  This
+   allows testing for an event-counting problem in log shipping.
+ 
+ <li> Changes to support PostgreSQL 8.3 as VARATT_SIZEP has been deprecated
+ 
+ <li> in xxid.c, changes to support PostgreSQL 8.3 as tuple compression has
+   more extensive support
+ 
+ <P>  <tt>VARDATA_ANY(PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED((PG_GETARG_DATUM(0))))</tt>
+   tends to replace
+   <tt>PG_GETARG_VARLENA(0)</tt>
+ 
+ <li> Slonik's SYNC command never recorded the new seqno in the admin
+   conninfo, with potential wacky results for WAIT FOR EVENT
+ 
+ <li> Fix rpm build problem when the system has pg_config in both under
+   /usr/local/pgsql/bin and /usr/bin
+ 
+ <li> Add init script for Red Hat / Fedora
+ 
+ <li> 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.
+ 
+ <li> EXECUTE SCRIPT wasn't setting sl_setsync, which broke WAIT FOR EVENT
+   on these events
+ 
+ <li> Ducttape test #5 (which performs DDL changes) augmented to test use
+   of WAIT FOR EVENT
+ 
+ </ol>
