Update of /home/cvsd/slony1/slony1-engine
In directory main.slony.info:/tmp/cvs-serv29680

Modified Files:
	TODO RELEASE-2.0 
Log Message:
Added some extra tuples to date test so that we have tuples within the
somewhat ambiguous date range which is now DST that didn't use to be...

PostgreSQL stores "zoned" data in UTC form, so that the only reason to
expect any disagreement between nodes would be if two nodes were on
different versions of PostgreSQL that have a different idea as to how
to output those dates (thus, you have one that is aware of the new rules,
and one unaware, and are using TZ/PGTZ in a relevant zone).

Thus, we don't expect this test to "fall over" terribly much, but the
data's handy, if someone wants to do such a test...

  - Documented how to fix tables that presently use Slony-I-generated
    primary key candidates generated by TABLE ADD KEY
+ 
+ - Add some specific timestamps during the 2007 "DST rule change
+   ambiguous time" (e.g. - during the period which, under former rules,
+   was not DST, but which now is, due to the recent rule change).
+ 
+   Bill Moran ran into some problems with such dates; varying
+   PostgreSQL versions returned somewhat varying results.  This wasn't
+   a Slony-I problem; the data was indeed being replicated correctly.

  verify that upgrades work properly.
  
- Bill Moran had some timestamps that were not handled well; should make
- sure that these specific timestamps are included in our test cases...
