0ebd65ddd4 Since my name has a non-ascii-letter in it, it's often spelled wrong. In
the latest release notes there is a latin1 character that shouldn't be
there so I made a patch to fix that. This patch also fixes some old
entries that uses o instead of ö (which is also wrong but not as
bad as including a latin1 character in the sgml file).

dfdec60447 Allow to_char(interval) and to_char(time) to use AM/PM specifications.
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.

Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours.  This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.

Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.

03381695c6 Avoid referring to a specific version of the SQL standard except where
necessary, and be careful to refer to the right version where it is
useful to do so.  This partially reverts an ill-considered search and
replace from a few months ago.

807da29cf3 Add items from Tom:
< 	o Add a GUC variable to allow output of interval values in ISO8601
< 	  format
212a211,223
> 	o Add a GUC variable to allow output of interval values in ISO8601
> 	  format
> 	o Improve timestamptz subtraction to be DST-aware
>
> 	  Currently, subtracting one date from another that crosses a
> 	  daylight savings time adjustment can return '1 day 1 hour', but
> 	  adding that back to the first date returns a time one hour in
> 	  the future.  This is caused by the adjustment of '25 hours' to
> 	  '1 day 1 hour', and '1 day' is the same time the next day, even
> 	  if daylight savings adjustments are involved.
>
> 	o Fix interval display to support values exceeding 2^31 hours
> 	o Add overflow checking to timestamp and interval arithmetic

it's now actually used.  Per recent discussion.
