Hoist on my own PLV8 petard

I mentioned to a client that I was going to write a function they had asked me to write using PLPerl, because it has good dynamic string handling capabilities that make it a better fit for this particular task than PLPgsql. "Oh," said the client, "we don't do much Perl. But ever since you hooked us up with PLV8 we do everything in JavaScript. We all know that, and use it every day." So I'm now writing it in Javascript. Proof once again that no good deed goes unpunished. It remains to be seen if it's going to be quite such a good fit as Perl would be, but at least it will give me a thorough refresher in JS.

Looking for emacs mixed mode editing for functions

I've been looking for a way to edit mixed mode files in emacs, so I can edit a plperl function, and have the create statement part (and everything except the body) use standard SQL mode and the body use CPerl mode or whatever mode some magic marker tells it to use. I've taken a bit of a look at mmm-mode, but haven't been able to get it to work, and don't have more time to spend on it. If someone has a good recipe for this please let me know.

New PostgreSQL buildfarm client release 4.14 - bug fix for MSVC

There is a new release - version 4.14 - of the buildfarm client, now available at http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/downloads/releases/build-farm-4_14.tgz

The only change of note is that a bug which only affects MSVC clients (such that the client will not complete a run) and is present in releases 4.12 and 4.13 is fixed. Clients on other platforms do not need to upgrade.
