> The regression tests have been adapted and extensively modified for the
v6.1 release of
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>Postgres
>.
>
> Three new data types (datetime, timespan, and circle) have been added to
the native set of
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>Postgres
> types. Points, boxes, paths, and polygons
have had their output formats made consistant across the data types.
The polygon output in misc.out has only been spot-checked for correctness
relative to the original regression output.

> v6.1 introduces a new, alternate
optimizer which uses

algorithms. These algorithms introduce a random behavior in the ordering
of query results when the query contains multiple qualifiers or multiple
tables (giving the optimizer a choice on order of evaluation). Several
regression tests have been modified to explicitly order the results, and
hence are insensitive to optimizer choices. A few regression tests are
for data types which are inherently unordered (e.g. points and time
intervals) and tests involving those types are explicitly bracketed with
CLASS="COMMAND"

>
> The interpretation of array specifiers (the curly braces around atomic
values) appears to have changed sometime after the original regression
tests were generated. The current
CLASS="FILENAME"
>./expected/*.out
> files reflect this
new interpretation, which may not be correct!
>
> The float8 regression test fails on at least some platforms. This is due
to differences in implementations of pow() and exp() and the signaling
mechanisms used for overflow and underflow conditions.
>
> The "random" results in the random test should cause the "random" test
to be "failed", since the regression tests are evaluated using a simple
diff. However, "random" does not seem to produce random results on my
test machine (Linux/gcc/i686).
