From e92573917a49ce7d8d0cb5f996813500945616ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fujii Masao Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 08:32:52 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Fix confusing description of streaming option in START_REPLICATION. Previously, the documentation described the streaming option as a boolean, which is outdated since it's no longer a boolean as of protocol version 4. This could confuse users. This commit updates the description to remove the "boolean" reference and clearly list the valid values for the streaming option. Back-patch to v16, where the streaming option changed to a non-boolean.
