michaelpq · michaelpq · commit 521a812f0f5c · 2021-05-27T14:58:23.000+09:00
The following parameters have been imprecise, or incorrect, about their description (PGC_POSTMASTER or PGC_SIGHUP): - autovacuum_work_mem (docs, as of 9.6~) - huge_page_size (docs, as of 14~) - max_logical_replication_workers (docs, as of 10~) - max_sync_workers_per_subscription (docs, as of 10~) - min_dynamic_shared_memory (docs, as of 14~) - recovery_init_sync_method (postgresql.conf.sample, as of 14~) - remove_temp_files_after_crash (docs, as of 14~) - restart_after_crash (docs, as of 9.6~) - ssl_min_protocol_version (docs, as of 12~) - ssl_max_protocol_version (docs, as of 12~) This commit adjusts the description of all these parameters to be more consistent with the practice used for the others.
