+- Optimisation: Late evaluation of Multilinks (only in rdbms backends):
+  previously we materialized each multilink in a Node -- this creates an
+  SQL query for each multilink (e.g. 'files' and 'messages' for each
+  line in the issue index display) -- even if the multilinks aren't
+  displayed. Now we compute multilinks only if they're accessed (and
+  keep them cached).
+- Add a filter_iter similar to the existing filter call. This feature is
+  considered experimental. This is currently not used in the
+  web-interface but passes all tests for the filter call except sorting
+  by Multilinks (which isn't supported by SQL and isn't a sane concept
+  anyway). When using filter_iter instead of filter this saves a *lot*
+  of SQL queries: Filter returns only the IDs of Nodes in the database,
+  the additional content of a Node has to be fetched in a separate SQL
+  call. The new filter_iter also returns the IDs of Nodes (one by one,
+  it's an iterator) but pre-seeds the cache with the content of the
+  Node. The information needed for seeding the cache is retrieved in the
+  same SQL query as the ids.

+- Configuration issue: On some postgresql 8.4 installations (notably on

+  config option 'template' in the rdbms section now allows specification
+  of the template. You know you need this option if you get the error
+  message:
+  psycopg2.DataError: new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the
+  encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII)
+  HINT:  Use the same encoding as in the template database, or use
+  template0 as template.
