Doc: in each release branch, keep only that branch's own release notes.

Historically we've had each release branch include all prior branches'
notes, including minor-release changes, back to the beginning of the
project.  That's basically an O(N^2) proposition, and it was starting to
catch up with us: as of HEAD the back-branch release notes alone accounted
for nearly 30% of the documentation.  While there's certainly some value
in easy access to back-branch notes, this is getting out of hand.

Hence, switch over to the rule that each branch contains only its own
release notes.  So as to not make older notes too hard to find, each
branch will provide URLs for the immediately preceding branches'
release notes on the project website.

There might be value in providing aggregated notes across all branches
somewhere on the website, but that's a task for another day.

-      Allow btree comparison functions to return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>
-      (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Up to now, we've forbidden datatype-specific comparison functions from
-      returning <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, which allows callers to invert
-      the sort order just by negating the comparison result.  However, this
-      was never safe for comparison functions that directly return the
-      result of <function>memcmp()</function>, <function>strcmp()</function>,
-      etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction on those functions.
-      At least some recent versions of <function>memcmp()</function> can
-      return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, causing incorrect sort ordering.
-      Hence, we've removed this restriction.  Callers must now use
-      the <literal>INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT()</literal> macro if they wish to
-      invert the sort order.

-      to prevent use of server-side credentials, such as

-      are also possible.
-      Attacking <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> in this way requires the
-      ability to create a foreign server object with selected connection
-      parameters, but any user with access to <filename>dblink</filename>
-      could exploit the problem.
-      In general, an attacker with the ability to select the connection

-      Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
-      were assumed to retain their old tuple density.  In a large table
-      where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
-      pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
-      change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
-      change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
-      (<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
-      happening in the table.  This has been observed to result
-      in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
-      reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming.  To fix, assume
-      that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
-      sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
-      density observed within those pages to the whole table.

-     <para>
-      Using a <varname>search_path</varname> setting that includes any
-      schemas writable by a hostile user enables that user to capture
-      control of queries and then run arbitrary SQL code with the
-      permissions of the attacked user.  While it is possible to write
-      queries that are proof against such hijacking, it is notationally
-      tedious, and it's very easy to overlook holes.  Therefore, we now
-      recommend configurations in which no untrusted schemas appear in
-      one's search path.  Relevant documentation appears in
-      <xref linkend="ddl-schemas-patterns"/> (for database administrators and users),

-      Fix <application>pg_dump</application> to make ACL (permissions),

-      output formats (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The <quote>tag</quote> portion of an ACL archive entry was usually
-      just the name of the associated object.  Make it start with the object
-      type instead, bringing ACLs into line with the convention already used
-      for comment and security label archive entries.  Also, fix the
-      comment and security label entries for the whole database, if present,
-      to make their tags start with <literal>DATABASE</literal> so that they
-      also follow this convention.  This prevents false matches in code that
-      tries to identify large-object-related entries by seeing if the tag
-      starts with <literal>LARGE OBJECT</literal>.  That could have resulted
-      in misclassifying entries as data rather than schema, with undesirable
-      results in a schema-only or data-only dump.

-      Set-returning functions are now evaluated before evaluation of scalar
-      expressions in the <literal>SELECT</literal> list, much as though they had
-      been placed in a <literal>LATERAL FROM</literal>-clause item.  This allows
-      saner semantics for cases where multiple set-returning functions are
-      present.  If they return different numbers of rows, the shorter results
-      are extended to match the longest result by adding nulls.  Previously
-      the results were cycled until they all terminated at the same time,
-      producing a number of rows equal to the least common multiple of the
-      functions' periods.  In addition, set-returning functions are now
-      disallowed within <literal>CASE</literal> and <literal>COALESCE</literal> constructs.

-        When <replaceable>x</replaceable> is a table name or composite

-        to be equivalent, allowing tricks such as writing a function and
-        then using it as though it were a computed-on-demand column.
-        However, if both interpretations are feasible, the column
-        interpretation was always chosen, leading to surprising results if
-        the user intended the function interpretation.  Now, if there is
-        ambiguity, the interpretation that matches the syntactic form is

-      Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in PL/Perl and
-      PL/Tcl (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change prevents security problems that can be caused by subverting
-      Perl or Tcl code that will be executed later in the same session under
-      another SQL user identity (for example, within a <literal>SECURITY
-      DEFINER</literal> function).  Most scripting languages offer numerous ways that
-      that might be done, such as redefining standard functions or operators
-      called by the target function.  Without this change, any SQL user with
-      Perl or Tcl language usage rights can do essentially anything with the
-      SQL privileges of the target function's owner.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The cost of this change is that intentional communication among Perl
-      and Tcl functions becomes more difficult.  To provide an escape hatch,
-      PL/PerlU and PL/TclU functions continue to use only one interpreter
-      per session.  This is not considered a security issue since all such
-      functions execute at the trust level of a database superuser already.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It is likely that third-party procedural languages that claim to offer
-      trusted execution have similar security issues.  We advise contacting
-      the authors of any PL you are depending on for security-critical
-      purposes.

-      Enforce restrictions in <literal>plperl</literal> using an opmask applied to
-      the whole interpreter, instead of using <filename>Safe.pm</filename>
-      (Tim Bunce, Andrew Dunstan)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Recent developments have convinced us that <filename>Safe.pm</filename> is too
-      insecure to rely on for making <literal>plperl</literal> trustable.  This
-      change removes use of <filename>Safe.pm</filename> altogether, in favor of using
-      a separate interpreter with an opcode mask that is always applied.
-      Pleasant side effects of the change include that it is now possible to
-      use Perl's <literal>strict</literal> pragma in a natural way in
-      <literal>plperl</literal>, and that Perl's <literal>$a</literal> and <literal>$b</literal>

-      Prevent PL/Tcl from executing untrustworthy code from

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      PL/Tcl's feature for autoloading Tcl code from a database table
-      could be exploited for trojan-horse attacks, because there was no
-      restriction on who could create or insert into that table.  This change
-      disables the feature unless <structname>pltcl_modules</structname> is owned by a
-      superuser.  (However, the permissions on the table are not checked, so
-      installations that really need a less-than-secure modules table can
-      still grant suitable privileges to trusted non-superusers.)  Also,
-      prevent loading code into the unrestricted <quote>normal</quote> Tcl
-      interpreter unless we are really going to execute a <literal>pltclu</literal>

-      Previously, if an unprivileged user ran <literal>ALTER USER ... RESET

-      Prevent error recursion crashes when encoding conversion fails (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change extends fixes made in the last two minor releases for
-      related failure scenarios.  The previous fixes were narrowly tailored
-      for the original problem reports, but we have now recognized that
-      <emphasis>any</emphasis> error thrown by an encoding conversion function could
-      potentially lead to infinite recursion while trying to report the
-      error.  The solution therefore is to disable translation and encoding
-      conversion and report the plain-ASCII form of any error message,
-      if we find we have gotten into a recursive error reporting situation.

-      Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
-      the user running <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, etc (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Functions used in index expressions and partial-index
-      predicates are evaluated whenever a new table entry is made.  It has
-      long been understood that this poses a risk of trojan-horse code
-      execution if one modifies a table owned by an untrustworthy user.
-      (Note that triggers, defaults, check constraints, etc. pose the
-      same type of risk.)  But functions in indexes pose extra danger
-      because they will be executed by routine maintenance operations
-      such as <command>VACUUM FULL</command>, which are commonly performed
-      automatically under a superuser account.  For example, a nefarious user
-      can execute code with superuser privileges by setting up a
-      trojan-horse index definition and waiting for the next routine vacuum.
-      The fix arranges for standard maintenance operations
-      (including <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, <command>REINDEX</command>,
-      and <command>CLUSTER</command>) to execute as the table owner rather than
-      the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already
-      used for <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> functions.  To prevent bypassing
-      this security measure, execution of <command>SET SESSION
-      AUTHORIZATION</command> and <command>SET ROLE</command> is now forbidden within a
-      <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> context.  (CVE-2007-6600)

-    Full security against the SQL-injection attacks described in

-
-  <formalpara>
-  <title>Release date:</title>
-  <para>2005-05-09</para>
-  </formalpara>
-
-  <para>
-   This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.4.7, including several
-   security-related issues.
-   For information about new features in the 7.4 major release, see
-   <xref linkend="release-7-4"/>.
-  </para>
-
-  <sect2>
-   <title>Migration to Version 7.4.8</title>
-
-   <para>
-    A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X.  However,
-    it is one possible way of handling two significant security problems
-    that have been found in the initial contents of 7.4.X system
-    catalogs.  A dump/initdb/reload sequence using 7.4.8's initdb will
-    automatically correct these problems.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The larger security problem is that the built-in character set encoding
-    conversion functions can be invoked from SQL commands by unprivileged
-    users, but the functions were not designed for such use and are not
-    secure against malicious choices of arguments.  The fix involves changing
-    the declared parameter list of these functions so that they can no longer
-    be invoked from SQL commands.  (This does not affect their normal use
-    by the encoding conversion machinery.)
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The lesser problem is that the <filename>contrib/tsearch2</filename> module
-    creates several functions that are misdeclared to return
-    <type>internal</type> when they do not accept <type>internal</type> arguments.
-    This breaks type safety for all functions using <type>internal</type>
-    arguments.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    It is strongly recommended that all installations repair these errors,
-    either by initdb or by following the manual repair procedures given
-    below.  The errors at least allow unprivileged database users to crash
-    their server process, and might allow unprivileged users to gain the
-    privileges of a database superuser.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    If you wish not to do an initdb, perform the following procedures instead.
-    As the database superuser, do:
-
-<programlisting>
-BEGIN;
-UPDATE pg_proc SET proargtypes[3] = 'internal'::regtype
-WHERE pronamespace = 11 AND pronargs = 5
-     AND proargtypes[2] = 'cstring'::regtype;
--- The command should report having updated 90 rows;
--- if not, rollback and investigate instead of committing!
-COMMIT;
-</programlisting>
-
-    Next, if you have installed <filename>contrib/tsearch2</filename>, do:
-
-<programlisting>
-BEGIN;
-UPDATE pg_proc SET proargtypes[0] = 'internal'::regtype
-WHERE oid IN (
-   'dex_init(text)'::regprocedure,
-   'snb_en_init(text)'::regprocedure,
-   'snb_ru_init(text)'::regprocedure,
-   'spell_init(text)'::regprocedure,
-   'syn_init(text)'::regprocedure
-);
--- The command should report having updated 5 rows;
--- if not, rollback and investigate instead of committing!
-COMMIT;
-</programlisting>
-
-    If this command fails with a message like <quote>function
-    "dex_init(text)" does not exist</quote>, then either <filename>tsearch2</filename>
-    is not installed in this database, or you already did the update.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The above procedures must be carried out in <emphasis>each</emphasis> database
-    of an installation, including <literal>template1</literal>, and ideally
-    including <literal>template0</literal> as well.  If you do not fix the
-    template databases then any subsequently created databases will contain
-    the same errors.  <literal>template1</literal> can be fixed in the same way
-    as any other database, but fixing <literal>template0</literal> requires
-    additional steps.  First, from any database issue:
-<programlisting>
-UPDATE pg_database SET datallowconn = true WHERE datname = 'template0';
-</programlisting>
-     Next connect to <literal>template0</literal> and perform the above repair
-     procedures.  Finally, do:
-<programlisting>
--- re-freeze template0:
-VACUUM FREEZE;
--- and protect it against future alterations:
-UPDATE pg_database SET datallowconn = false WHERE datname = 'template0';
-</programlisting>

-   <title>Migration to Version 7.4.2</title>
-
-   <para>
-    A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X.  However,
-    it might be advisable as the easiest method of incorporating fixes for
-    two errors that have been found in the initial contents of 7.4.X system
-    catalogs.  A dump/initdb/reload sequence using 7.4.2's initdb will
-    automatically correct these problems.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The more severe of the two errors is that data type <type>anyarray</type>
-    has the wrong alignment label; this is a problem because the
-    <structname>pg_statistic</structname> system catalog uses <type>anyarray</type>
-    columns.  The mislabeling can cause planner misestimations and even
-    crashes when planning queries that involve <literal>WHERE</literal> clauses on
-    double-aligned columns (such as <type>float8</type> and <type>timestamp</type>).
-    It is strongly recommended that all installations repair this error,
-    either by initdb or by following the manual repair procedure given
-    below.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The lesser error is that the system view <structname>pg_settings</structname>
-    ought to be marked as having public update access, to allow
-    <literal>UPDATE pg_settings</literal> to be used as a substitute for
-    <command>SET</command>.  This can also be fixed either by initdb or manually,
-    but it is not necessary to fix unless you want to use <literal>UPDATE
-    pg_settings</literal>.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    If you wish not to do an initdb, the following procedure will work
-    for fixing <structname>pg_statistic</structname>.  As the database superuser,
-    do:
-
-<programlisting>
--- clear out old data in pg_statistic:
-DELETE FROM pg_statistic;
-VACUUM pg_statistic;
--- this should update 1 row:
-UPDATE pg_type SET typalign = 'd' WHERE oid = 2277;
--- this should update 6 rows:
-UPDATE pg_attribute SET attalign = 'd' WHERE atttypid = 2277;
---
--- At this point you MUST start a fresh backend to avoid a crash!
---
--- repopulate pg_statistic:
-ANALYZE;
-</programlisting>
-
-    This can be done in a live database, but beware that all backends
-    running in the altered database must be restarted before it is safe to
-    repopulate <structname>pg_statistic</structname>.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    To repair the <structname>pg_settings</structname> error, simply do:
-<programlisting>
-GRANT SELECT, UPDATE ON pg_settings TO PUBLIC;
-</programlisting>
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The above procedures must be carried out in <emphasis>each</emphasis> database
-    of an installation, including <literal>template1</literal>, and ideally
-    including <literal>template0</literal> as well.  If you do not fix the
-    template databases then any subsequently created databases will contain
-    the same errors.  <literal>template1</literal> can be fixed in the same way
-    as any other database, but fixing <literal>template0</literal> requires
-    additional steps.  First, from any database issue:
-<programlisting>
-UPDATE pg_database SET datallowconn = true WHERE datname = 'template0';
-</programlisting>
-     Next connect to <literal>template0</literal> and perform the above repair
-     procedures.  Finally, do:
-<programlisting>
--- re-freeze template0:
-VACUUM FREEZE;
--- and protect it against future alterations:
-UPDATE pg_database SET datallowconn = false WHERE datname = 'template0';
-</programlisting>

-
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      In previous releases, <literal>IN</literal>/<literal>NOT
-      IN</literal> subqueries were joined to the upper query by
-      sequentially scanning the subquery looking for a match.  The
-      7.4 code uses the same sophisticated techniques used by
-      ordinary joins and so is much faster.  An
-      <literal>IN</literal> will now usually be as fast as or faster
-      than an equivalent <literal>EXISTS</literal> subquery; this
-      reverses the conventional wisdom that applied to previous
-      releases.

-     Improved <literal>GROUP BY</literal> processing by using hash buckets
-    </term>
-
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      In previous releases, rows to be grouped had to be sorted
-      first.  The 7.4 code can do <literal>GROUP BY</literal>
-      without sorting, by accumulating results into a hash table
-      with one entry per group.  It will still use the sort
-      technique, however, if the hash table is estimated to be too
-      large to fit in <varname>sort_mem</varname>.

-
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      In previous releases, hash joins could only occur on single

-     Queries using the explicit <literal>JOIN</literal> syntax are
-     now better optimized
-    </term>
-
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      Prior releases evaluated queries using the explicit
-      <literal>JOIN</literal> syntax only in the order implied by
-      the syntax. 7.4 allows full optimization of these queries,
-      meaning the optimizer considers all possible join orderings
-      and chooses the most efficient.  Outer joins, however, must
-      still follow the declared ordering.

-
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      The entire regular expression module has been replaced with a
-      new version by Henry Spencer, originally written for Tcl.  The
-      code greatly improves performance and supports several flavors
-      of regular expressions.

-     Function-inlining for simple SQL functions

-
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      Simple SQL functions can now be inlined by including their SQL
-      in the main query.  This improves performance by eliminating
-      per-call overhead.  That means simple SQL functions now
-      behave like macros.

-     <para>
-      In previous releases, B-tree index pages that were left empty
-      because of deleted rows could only be reused by rows with
-      index values similar to the rows originally indexed on that
-      page. In 7.4, <command>VACUUM</command> records empty index

-     String literals specifying time-varying date/time values, such

-     no longer work as expected in column default expressions; they

-     In previous releases, there was special code so that strings

-     this work around didn't cover all cases.  Release 7.4 now

-      Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in PL/Perl and
-      PL/Tcl (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change prevents security problems that can be caused by subverting
-      Perl or Tcl code that will be executed later in the same session under
-      another SQL user identity (for example, within a <literal>SECURITY
-      DEFINER</literal> function).  Most scripting languages offer numerous ways that
-      that might be done, such as redefining standard functions or operators
-      called by the target function.  Without this change, any SQL user with
-      Perl or Tcl language usage rights can do essentially anything with the
-      SQL privileges of the target function's owner.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The cost of this change is that intentional communication among Perl
-      and Tcl functions becomes more difficult.  To provide an escape hatch,
-      PL/PerlU and PL/TclU functions continue to use only one interpreter
-      per session.  This is not considered a security issue since all such
-      functions execute at the trust level of a database superuser already.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It is likely that third-party procedural languages that claim to offer
-      trusted execution have similar security issues.  We advise contacting
-      the authors of any PL you are depending on for security-critical
-      purposes.

-      Enforce restrictions in <literal>plperl</literal> using an opmask applied to

-      (Tim Bunce, Andrew Dunstan)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Recent developments have convinced us that <filename>Safe.pm</filename> is too
-      insecure to rely on for making <literal>plperl</literal> trustable.  This
-      change removes use of <filename>Safe.pm</filename> altogether, in favor of using
-      a separate interpreter with an opcode mask that is always applied.
-      Pleasant side effects of the change include that it is now possible to
-      use Perl's <literal>strict</literal> pragma in a natural way in
-      <literal>plperl</literal>, and that Perl's <literal>$a</literal> and <literal>$b</literal>

-
-     <para>
-      PL/Tcl's feature for autoloading Tcl code from a database table
-      could be exploited for trojan-horse attacks, because there was no
-      restriction on who could create or insert into that table.  This change
-      disables the feature unless <structname>pltcl_modules</structname> is owned by a
-      superuser.  (However, the permissions on the table are not checked, so
-      installations that really need a less-than-secure modules table can
-      still grant suitable privileges to trusted non-superusers.)  Also,
-      prevent loading code into the unrestricted <quote>normal</quote> Tcl
-      interpreter unless we are really going to execute a <literal>pltclu</literal>

-      Prevent error recursion crashes when encoding conversion fails (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change extends fixes made in the last two minor releases for
-      related failure scenarios.  The previous fixes were narrowly tailored
-      for the original problem reports, but we have now recognized that
-      <emphasis>any</emphasis> error thrown by an encoding conversion function could
-      potentially lead to infinite recursion while trying to report the
-      error.  The solution therefore is to disable translation and encoding
-      conversion and report the plain-ASCII form of any error message,
-      if we find we have gotten into a recursive error reporting situation.

-      Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
-      the user running <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, etc (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Functions used in index expressions and partial-index
-      predicates are evaluated whenever a new table entry is made.  It has
-      long been understood that this poses a risk of trojan-horse code
-      execution if one modifies a table owned by an untrustworthy user.
-      (Note that triggers, defaults, check constraints, etc. pose the
-      same type of risk.)  But functions in indexes pose extra danger
-      because they will be executed by routine maintenance operations
-      such as <command>VACUUM FULL</command>, which are commonly performed
-      automatically under a superuser account.  For example, a nefarious user
-      can execute code with superuser privileges by setting up a
-      trojan-horse index definition and waiting for the next routine vacuum.
-      The fix arranges for standard maintenance operations
-      (including <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, <command>REINDEX</command>,
-      and <command>CLUSTER</command>) to execute as the table owner rather than
-      the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already
-      used for <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> functions.  To prevent bypassing
-      this security measure, execution of <command>SET SESSION
-      AUTHORIZATION</command> and <command>SET ROLE</command> is now forbidden within a
-      <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> context.  (CVE-2007-6600)

-    Full security against the SQL-injection attacks described in

-  <para>
-   This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.0.2, including several

-   <title>Migration to Version 8.0.3</title>
-
-   <para>
-    A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.0.X.  However,
-    it is one possible way of handling two significant security problems
-    that have been found in the initial contents of 8.0.X system
-    catalogs.  A dump/initdb/reload sequence using 8.0.3's initdb will
-    automatically correct these problems.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The larger security problem is that the built-in character set encoding
-    conversion functions can be invoked from SQL commands by unprivileged
-    users, but the functions were not designed for such use and are not
-    secure against malicious choices of arguments.  The fix involves changing
-    the declared parameter list of these functions so that they can no longer
-    be invoked from SQL commands.  (This does not affect their normal use
-    by the encoding conversion machinery.)
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The lesser problem is that the <filename>contrib/tsearch2</filename> module
-    creates several functions that are improperly declared to return
-    <type>internal</type> when they do not accept <type>internal</type> arguments.
-    This breaks type safety for all functions using <type>internal</type>
-    arguments.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    It is strongly recommended that all installations repair these errors,
-    either by initdb or by following the manual repair procedure given
-    below.  The errors at least allow unprivileged database users to crash
-    their server process, and might allow unprivileged users to gain the
-    privileges of a database superuser.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    If you wish not to do an initdb, perform the same manual repair
-    procedures shown in the <link linkend="release-7-4-8">7.4.8 release

-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       This is the first <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> release
-       to run natively on <trademark class="registered">Microsoft Windows</trademark> as
-       a server. It can run as a <productname>Windows</productname> service. This
-       release supports NT-based Windows releases like
-       <productname>Windows 2000 SP4</productname>, <productname>Windows XP</productname>, and
-       <productname>Windows 2003</productname>. Older releases like
-       <productname>Windows 95</productname>, <productname>Windows 98</productname>, and
-       <productname>Windows ME</productname> are not supported because these operating
-       systems do not have the infrastructure to support
-       <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>. A separate installer
-       project has been created to ease installation on
-       <productname>Windows</productname> &mdash; see <ulink
-       url="http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/win32/"></ulink>.
-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-       Although tested throughout our release cycle, the Windows port
-       does not have the benefit of years of use in production
-       environments that <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> has on
-       Unix platforms.  Therefore it should be treated with the same
-       level of caution as you would a new product.
-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-       Previous releases required the Unix emulation toolkit
-       <productname>Cygwin</productname> in order to run the server on Windows
-       operating systems.  <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> has
-       supported native clients on Windows for many years.

-      Savepoints
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       Savepoints allow specific parts of a transaction to be aborted
-       without affecting the remainder of the transaction. Prior
-       releases had no such capability; there was no way to recover
-       from a statement failure within a transaction except by
-       aborting the whole transaction. This feature is valuable for
-       application writers who require error recovery within a
-       complex transaction.

-      Point-In-Time Recovery
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       In previous releases there was no way to recover from disk
-       drive failure except to restore from a previous backup or use
-       a standby replication server.  Point-in-time recovery allows
-       continuous backup of the server.  You can recover either to
-       the point of failure or to some transaction in the past.

-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       Tablespaces allow administrators to select different file systems
-       for storage of individual tables, indexes, and databases.
-       This improves performance and control over disk space
-       usage. Prior releases used <application>initlocation</application> and
-       manual symlink management for such tasks.

-      <para>
-       This release has a more intelligent buffer replacement strategy,
-       which will make better use of available shared buffers and
-       improve performance. The performance impact of vacuum and
-       checkpoints is also lessened.

-      In <option>READ COMMITTED</option> serialization mode, volatile functions
-      now see the results of concurrent transactions committed up to the

-      beginning of the interactive command that called the function.

-
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      Functions declared <option>STABLE</option> or <option>IMMUTABLE</option> always
-      use the snapshot of the calling query, and therefore do not see the
-      effects of actions taken after the calling query starts, whether in
-      their own transaction or other transactions.  Such a function must be
-      read-only, too, meaning that it cannot use any SQL commands other than
-      <command>SELECT</command>.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      Nondeferred <option>AFTER</option> triggers are now fired immediately
-      after completion of the triggering query, rather than upon
-      finishing the current interactive command. This makes a
-      difference when the triggering query occurred within a function:
-      the trigger is invoked before the function proceeds to its next
-      operation.

-     <para>
-      Server configuration parameter <varname>log_statement</varname> has been

-     <para>
-      Server configuration parameter <varname>max_expr_depth</varname> parameter has
-      been replaced with <varname>max_stack_depth</varname> which measures the

-      Syntax checking of array input values has been tightened up
-      considerably. Junk that was previously allowed in odd places with

-      must now be written as <literal>""</literal>, rather than writing nothing.
-      Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace surrounding

-       New buffer replacement strategy that improves caching (Jan)
-      </para>
-      <para>
-       Prior releases used a least-recently-used (LRU) cache to keep
-       recently referenced pages in memory. The LRU algorithm
-       did not consider the number of times a specific cache entry was
-       accessed, so large table scans could force out useful cache pages.
-       The new cache algorithm uses four separate lists to track most
-       recently used and most frequently used cache pages and dynamically
-       optimize their replacement based on the work load. This should
-       lead to much more efficient use of the shared buffer cache.
-       Administrators who have tested shared buffer sizes in the past
-       should retest with this new cache replacement policy.

-       Add subprocess to write dirty buffers periodically to reduce

-      </para>
-      <para>
-       In previous releases, the checkpoint process, which runs every few
-       minutes, would write all dirty buffers to the operating system's
-       buffer cache then flush all dirty operating system buffers to
-       disk. This resulted in a periodic spike in disk usage that often
-       hurt performance. The new code uses a background writer to trickle
-       disk writes at a steady pace so checkpoints have far fewer dirty
-       pages to write to disk. Also, the new code does not issue a global
-       <function>sync()</function> call, but instead <function>fsync()</function>s just
-       the files written since the last checkpoint. This should improve
-       performance and minimize degradation during checkpoints.

-       Use dynamically-generated table size estimates while planning (Tom)

-       both as to physical table size (number of pages) and number of rows.
-       Now, the current physical table size is obtained from the kernel,
-       and the number of rows is estimated by multiplying the table size
-       by the row density (rows per page) seen by the last
-       <command>VACUUM</command> or <command>ANALYZE</command>.  This should

-       Prepared statements plan queries once and execute them many

-       In previous releases, because single quotes had to be used to

-       notations. With this release we add the ability to use "dollar
-       quoting" to quote a block of text.  The ability to use different
-       quoting delimiters at different nesting levels greatly simplifies
-       the task of quoting correctly, especially in complex functions.
-       Dollar quoting can be used anywhere quoted text is needed.

-       In <literal>READ COMMITTED</literal> serialization mode, volatile functions
-       now see the results of concurrent transactions committed up to the

-       Functions declared <literal>STABLE</literal> or <literal>IMMUTABLE</literal> always
-       use the snapshot of the calling query, and therefore do not see the
-       effects of actions taken after the calling query starts, whether in
-       their own transaction or other transactions.  Such a function must be
-       read-only, too, meaning that it cannot use any SQL commands other than
-       <command>SELECT</command>.  There is a considerable performance gain from
-       declaring a function <literal>STABLE</literal> or <literal>IMMUTABLE</literal>

-       Nondeferred <option>AFTER</option> triggers are now fired immediately

-       when the triggering query occurred within a function: the trigger
-       is invoked before the function proceeds to its next operation. For
-       example, if a function inserts a new row into a table, any
-       nondeferred foreign key checks occur before proceeding with the
-       function.

-      Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in PL/Perl and
-      PL/Tcl (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change prevents security problems that can be caused by subverting
-      Perl or Tcl code that will be executed later in the same session under
-      another SQL user identity (for example, within a <literal>SECURITY
-      DEFINER</literal> function).  Most scripting languages offer numerous ways that
-      that might be done, such as redefining standard functions or operators
-      called by the target function.  Without this change, any SQL user with
-      Perl or Tcl language usage rights can do essentially anything with the
-      SQL privileges of the target function's owner.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The cost of this change is that intentional communication among Perl
-      and Tcl functions becomes more difficult.  To provide an escape hatch,
-      PL/PerlU and PL/TclU functions continue to use only one interpreter
-      per session.  This is not considered a security issue since all such
-      functions execute at the trust level of a database superuser already.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It is likely that third-party procedural languages that claim to offer
-      trusted execution have similar security issues.  We advise contacting
-      the authors of any PL you are depending on for security-critical
-      purposes.

-      Enforce restrictions in <literal>plperl</literal> using an opmask applied to

-      (Tim Bunce, Andrew Dunstan)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Recent developments have convinced us that <filename>Safe.pm</filename> is too

-      change removes use of <filename>Safe.pm</filename> altogether, in favor of using

-      Pleasant side effects of the change include that it is now possible to
-      use Perl's <literal>strict</literal> pragma in a natural way in
-      <literal>plperl</literal>, and that Perl's <literal>$a</literal> and <literal>$b</literal>

-      Prevent PL/Tcl from executing untrustworthy code from

-
-     <para>
-      PL/Tcl's feature for autoloading Tcl code from a database table
-      could be exploited for trojan-horse attacks, because there was no
-      restriction on who could create or insert into that table.  This change
-      disables the feature unless <structname>pltcl_modules</structname> is owned by a
-      superuser.  (However, the permissions on the table are not checked, so
-      installations that really need a less-than-secure modules table can

-      This change extends fixes made in the last two minor releases for
-      related failure scenarios.  The previous fixes were narrowly tailored
-      for the original problem reports, but we have now recognized that
-      <emphasis>any</emphasis> error thrown by an encoding conversion function could
-      potentially lead to infinite recursion while trying to report the
-      error.  The solution therefore is to disable translation and encoding
-      conversion and report the plain-ASCII form of any error message,
-      if we find we have gotten into a recursive error reporting situation.

-      This prevents one possible scenario for encoding conversion failure.
-      The previous change is a backstop to guard against other kinds of
-      failures in the same area.

-      Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
-      the user running <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, etc (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Functions used in index expressions and partial-index
-      predicates are evaluated whenever a new table entry is made.  It has
-      long been understood that this poses a risk of trojan-horse code
-      execution if one modifies a table owned by an untrustworthy user.
-      (Note that triggers, defaults, check constraints, etc. pose the
-      same type of risk.)  But functions in indexes pose extra danger
-      because they will be executed by routine maintenance operations
-      such as <command>VACUUM FULL</command>, which are commonly performed
-      automatically under a superuser account.  For example, a nefarious user
-      can execute code with superuser privileges by setting up a
-      trojan-horse index definition and waiting for the next routine vacuum.
-      The fix arranges for standard maintenance operations
-      (including <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, <command>REINDEX</command>,
-      and <command>CLUSTER</command>) to execute as the table owner rather than
-      the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already
-      used for <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> functions.  To prevent bypassing
-      this security measure, execution of <command>SET SESSION
-      AUTHORIZATION</command> and <command>SET ROLE</command> is now forbidden within a
-      <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> context.  (CVE-2007-6600)

-    Full security against the SQL-injection attacks described in

-      Improve concurrent access to the shared buffer cache (Tom)
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       Access to the shared buffer cache was identified as a
-       significant scalability problem, particularly on multi-CPU
-       systems. In this release, the way that locking is done in the
-       buffer manager has been overhauled to reduce lock contention
-       and improve scalability. The buffer manager has also been
-       changed to use a <quote>clock sweep</quote> replacement
-       policy.

-      Allow index scans to use an intermediate in-memory bitmap (Tom)
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       In previous releases, only a single index could be used to do
-       lookups on a table. With this feature, if a query has
-       <command>WHERE tab.col1 = 4 and tab.col2 = 9</command>, and there is
-       no multicolumn index on <literal>col1</literal> and <literal>col2</literal>,
-       but there is an index on <literal>col1</literal> and another on
-       <literal>col2</literal>, it is possible to search both indexes and
-       combine the results in memory, then do heap fetches for only
-       the rows matching both the <literal>col1</literal> and
-       <literal>col2</literal> restrictions. This is very useful in
-       environments that have a lot of unstructured queries where it
-       is impossible to create indexes that match all possible access
-       conditions.  Bitmap scans are useful even with a single index,
-       as they reduce the amount of random access needed; a bitmap
-       index scan is efficient for retrieving fairly large fractions
-       of the complete table, whereas plain index scans are not.

-      Add two-phase commit (Heikki Linnakangas, Alvaro, Tom)
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       Two-phase commit allows transactions to be "prepared" on several
-       computers, and once all computers have successfully prepared
-       their transactions (none failed), all transactions can be
-       committed. Even if a machine crashes after a prepare, the
-       prepared transaction can be committed after the machine is
-       restarted. New syntax includes <command>PREPARE TRANSACTION</command> and
-       <command>COMMIT/ROLLBACK PREPARED</command>. A new system view
-       <literal>pg_prepared_xacts</literal> has also been added.

-      (Stephen Frost)

-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       Roles are a combination of users and groups. Like users, they
-       can have login capability, and like groups, a role can have
-       other roles as members. Roles basically remove the distinction
-       between users and groups. For example, a role can:

-      <para>
-       Once a user logs into a role, she obtains capabilities of
-       the login role plus any inherited roles, and can use
-       <command>SET ROLE</command> to switch to other roles she is a member of.
-       This feature is a generalization of the SQL standard's concept of
-       roles.
-       This change also replaces <structname>pg_shadow</structname> and
-       <structname>pg_group</structname> by new role-capable catalogs
-       <structname>pg_authid</structname> and <structname>pg_auth_members</structname>. The old
-       tables are redefined as read-only views on the new role tables.

-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       In previous releases, the only way to use an index for

-       query as <command>SELECT col FROM tab ORDER BY col LIMIT 1</command>.

-      <para>
-       Integrating autovacuum into the server allows it to be

-      (Alvaro)
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       While <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>'s MVCC locking
-       allows <command>SELECT</command> to never be blocked by writers and
-       therefore does not need shared row locks for typical operations,
-       shared locks are useful for applications that require shared row
-       locking.  In particular this reduces the locking requirements
-       imposed by referential integrity checks.

-      Add dependencies on shared objects, specifically roles
-      (Alvaro)
-     </term>
-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       This extension of the dependency mechanism prevents roles from
-       being dropped while there are still database objects they own.
-       Formerly it was possible to accidentally <quote>orphan</quote> objects by
-       deleting their owner.  While this could be recovered from, it
-       was messy and unpleasant.

-
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       The new <varname>constraint_exclusion</varname> configuration
-       parameter avoids lookups on child tables where constraints indicate
-       that no matching rows exist in the child table.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-       This allows for a basic type of table partitioning. If child tables
-       store separate key ranges and this is enforced using appropriate
-       <command>CHECK</command> constraints, the optimizer will skip child
-       table accesses when the constraint guarantees no matching rows
-       exist in the child table.

-   <title>Migration to Version 8.1</title>

-      <varname>add_missing_from</varname> is now false by default (Neil)

-      By default, we now generate an error if a table is used in a query
-      without a <literal>FROM</literal> reference.  The old behavior is still
-      available, but the parameter must be set to 'true' to obtain it.

-      It might be necessary to set <varname>add_missing_from</varname> to true
-      in order to load an existing dump file, if the dump contains any
-      views or rules created using the implicit-<literal>FROM</literal> syntax.
-      This should be a one-time annoyance, because
-      <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 8.1 will convert
-      such views and rules to standard explicit-<literal>FROM</literal> syntax.

-      This change is consistent with the current handling of

-      releases of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, their use is limited
-      because they are only four bytes long and the counter is shared
-      across all installed databases. The preferred way of uniquely
-      identifying rows is via sequences and the <type>SERIAL</type> type,

-      Add <literal>E''</literal> syntax so eventually ordinary strings can
-      treat backslashes literally (Bruce)
-     </para>
-     <para>
-      Currently <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> processes a
-      backslash in a string literal as introducing a special escape sequence,
-      e.g. <literal>\n</literal> or <literal>\010</literal>.
-      While this allows easy entry of special values, it is
-      nonstandard and makes porting of applications from other
-      databases more difficult. For this reason, the
-      <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> project is planning to
-      remove the special meaning of backslashes in strings. For
-      backward compatibility and for users who want special backslash
-      processing, a new string syntax has been created. This new string
-      syntax is formed by writing an <literal>E</literal> immediately preceding the
-      single quote that starts the string, e.g. <literal>E'hi\n'</literal>. While
-      this release does not change the handling of backslashes in strings, it
-      does add new configuration parameters to help users migrate applications
-      for future releases:

-
-      <listitem>
-       <para>
-        <varname>standard_conforming_strings</varname> &mdash; does this release
-        treat backslashes literally in ordinary strings?

-      </listitem>
-
-      <listitem>
-      <para>

-      </para>
-     </listitem>
-
-     </itemizedlist>
-
-     <para>
-      The <varname>standard_conforming_strings</varname> value is read-only.
-      Applications can retrieve the value to know how backslashes are
-      processed.  (Presence of the parameter can also be taken as an
-      indication that <literal>E''</literal> string syntax is supported.)
-      In a future release, <varname>standard_conforming_strings</varname>
-      will be true, meaning backslashes will be treated literally in
-      non-E strings. To prepare for this change, use <literal>E''</literal>
-      strings in places that need special backslash processing, and
-      turn on <varname>escape_string_warning</varname> to find additional
-      strings that need to be converted to use <literal>E''</literal>.
-      Also, use two single-quotes (<literal>''</literal>) to embed a literal
-      single-quote in a string, rather than the

-      Add proper dependencies for arguments of sequence functions (Tom)
-     </para>
-     <para>
-      In previous releases, sequence names passed to <function>nextval()</function>,
-      <function>currval()</function>, and <function>setval()</function> were stored as
-      simple text strings, meaning that renaming or dropping a
-      sequence used in a <literal>DEFAULT</literal> clause made the clause
-      invalid. This release stores all newly-created sequence function
-      arguments as internal OIDs, allowing them to track sequence
-      renaming, and adding dependency information that prevents
-      improper sequence removal. It also makes such <literal>DEFAULT</literal>
-      clauses immune to schema renaming and search path changes.
-     </para>
-     <para>
-      Some applications might rely on the old behavior of
-      run-time lookup for sequence names. This can still be done by
-      explicitly casting the argument to <type>text</type>, for example
-      <literal>nextval('myseq'::text)</literal>.
-     </para>
-     <para>
-      Pre-8.1 database dumps loaded into 8.1 will use the old text-based
-      representation and therefore will not have the features of
-      OID-stored arguments. However, it is possible to update a
-      database containing text-based <literal>DEFAULT</literal> clauses.
-      First, save this query into a file, such as <filename>fixseq.sql</filename>:
-<programlisting>
-SELECT  'ALTER TABLE ' ||
-   pg_catalog.quote_ident(n.nspname) || '.' ||
-   pg_catalog.quote_ident(c.relname) ||
-   ' ALTER COLUMN ' || pg_catalog.quote_ident(a.attname) ||
-   ' SET DEFAULT ' ||
-   regexp_replace(d.adsrc,
-                  $$val\(\(('[^']*')::text\)::regclass$$,
-                  $$val(\1$$,
-                  'g') ||
-   ';'
-FROM    pg_namespace n, pg_class c, pg_attribute a, pg_attrdef d
-WHERE   n.oid = c.relnamespace AND
-   c.oid = a.attrelid AND
-   a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND
-   a.attnum = d.adnum AND
-   d.adsrc ~ $$val\(\('[^']*'::text\)::regclass$$;
-</programlisting>
-      Next, run the query against a database to find what
-      adjustments are required, like this for database <literal>db1</literal>:
-<programlisting>
-psql -t -f fixseq.sql db1
-</programlisting>
-      This will show the <command>ALTER TABLE</command> commands needed to
-      convert the database to the newer OID-based representation.
-      If the commands look reasonable, run this to update the database:
-<programlisting>
-psql -t -f fixseq.sql db1 | psql -e db1
-</programlisting>
-      This process must be repeated in each database to be updated.

-       While returning multiple values from a function

-    However, a longstanding error was discovered in the definition of the
-    <literal>information_schema.referential_constraints</literal> view.  If you
-    rely on correct results from that view, you should replace its
-    definition as explained in the first changelog item below.

-      (Tom Lane)

-
-     <para>
-      This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the
-      foreign-key constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key
-      constraint.  That could result in failure to show a foreign key
-      constraint at all, or showing it multiple times, or claiming that it
-      depends on a different constraint than the one it really does.

-      Since the view definition is installed by <application>initdb</application>,
-      merely upgrading will not fix the problem.  If you need to fix this
-      in an existing installation, you can (as a superuser) drop the
-      <literal>information_schema</literal> schema then re-create it by sourcing
-      <filename><replaceable>SHAREDIR</replaceable>/information_schema.sql</filename>.
-      (Run <literal>pg_config --sharedir</literal> if you're uncertain where
-      <replaceable>SHAREDIR</replaceable> is.)  This must be repeated in each database
-      to be fixed.

-      Change foreign-key trigger creation order to better support
-      self-referential foreign keys (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      For a cascading foreign key that references its own table, a row update
-      will fire both the <literal>ON UPDATE</literal> trigger and the
-      <literal>CHECK</literal> trigger as one event.  The <literal>ON UPDATE</literal>
-      trigger must execute first, else the <literal>CHECK</literal> will check a
-      non-final state of the row and possibly throw an inappropriate error.
-      However, the firing order of these triggers is determined by their
-      names, which generally sort in creation order since the triggers have
-      auto-generated names following the convention
-      <quote>RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN</quote>.  A proper fix would require
-      modifying that convention, which we will do in 9.2, but it seems risky
-      to change it in existing releases.  So this patch just changes the
-      creation order of the triggers.  Users encountering this type of error
-      should drop and re-create the foreign key constraint to get its
-      triggers into the right order.

-      Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in PL/Perl and
-      PL/Tcl (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change prevents security problems that can be caused by subverting
-      Perl or Tcl code that will be executed later in the same session under
-      another SQL user identity (for example, within a <literal>SECURITY
-      DEFINER</literal> function).  Most scripting languages offer numerous ways that
-      that might be done, such as redefining standard functions or operators
-      called by the target function.  Without this change, any SQL user with
-      Perl or Tcl language usage rights can do essentially anything with the
-      SQL privileges of the target function's owner.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The cost of this change is that intentional communication among Perl
-      and Tcl functions becomes more difficult.  To provide an escape hatch,
-      PL/PerlU and PL/TclU functions continue to use only one interpreter
-      per session.  This is not considered a security issue since all such
-      functions execute at the trust level of a database superuser already.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It is likely that third-party procedural languages that claim to offer
-      trusted execution have similar security issues.  We advise contacting
-      the authors of any PL you are depending on for security-critical
-      purposes.

-      Enforce restrictions in <literal>plperl</literal> using an opmask applied to
-      the whole interpreter, instead of using <filename>Safe.pm</filename>
-      (Tim Bunce, Andrew Dunstan)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Recent developments have convinced us that <filename>Safe.pm</filename> is too
-      insecure to rely on for making <literal>plperl</literal> trustable.  This
-      change removes use of <filename>Safe.pm</filename> altogether, in favor of using
-      a separate interpreter with an opcode mask that is always applied.
-      Pleasant side effects of the change include that it is now possible to
-      use Perl's <literal>strict</literal> pragma in a natural way in
-      <literal>plperl</literal>, and that Perl's <literal>$a</literal> and <literal>$b</literal>
-      variables work as expected in sort routines, and that function
-      compilation is significantly faster.  (CVE-2010-1169)

-      Prevent PL/Tcl from executing untrustworthy code from

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      PL/Tcl's feature for autoloading Tcl code from a database table
-      could be exploited for trojan-horse attacks, because there was no
-      restriction on who could create or insert into that table.  This change
-      disables the feature unless <structname>pltcl_modules</structname> is owned by a
-      superuser.  (However, the permissions on the table are not checked, so
-      installations that really need a less-than-secure modules table can
-      still grant suitable privileges to trusted non-superusers.)  Also,
-      prevent loading code into the unrestricted <quote>normal</quote> Tcl
-      interpreter unless we are really going to execute a <literal>pltclu</literal>
-      function.  (CVE-2010-1170)

-      Prevent error recursion crashes when encoding conversion fails (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change extends fixes made in the last two minor releases for
-      related failure scenarios.  The previous fixes were narrowly tailored
-      for the original problem reports, but we have now recognized that
-      <emphasis>any</emphasis> error thrown by an encoding conversion function could
-      potentially lead to infinite recursion while trying to report the
-      error.  The solution therefore is to disable translation and encoding
-      conversion and report the plain-ASCII form of any error message,
-      if we find we have gotten into a recursive error reporting situation.

-      Fix character string comparison for Windows locales that consider

-
-     <para>
-      This fix applies only on Windows and only when using UTF-8
-      database encoding.  The same fix was made for all other cases
-      over two years ago, but Windows with UTF-8 uses a separate code
-      path that was not updated.  If you are using a locale that
-      considers some non-identical strings as equal, you may need to
-      <command>REINDEX</command> to fix existing indexes on textual columns.

-      Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
-      the user running <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, etc (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Functions used in index expressions and partial-index
-      predicates are evaluated whenever a new table entry is made.  It has
-      long been understood that this poses a risk of trojan-horse code
-      execution if one modifies a table owned by an untrustworthy user.
-      (Note that triggers, defaults, check constraints, etc. pose the
-      same type of risk.)  But functions in indexes pose extra danger
-      because they will be executed by routine maintenance operations
-      such as <command>VACUUM FULL</command>, which are commonly performed
-      automatically under a superuser account.  For example, a nefarious user
-      can execute code with superuser privileges by setting up a
-      trojan-horse index definition and waiting for the next routine vacuum.
-      The fix arranges for standard maintenance operations
-      (including <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, <command>REINDEX</command>,
-      and <command>CLUSTER</command>) to execute as the table owner rather than
-      the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already
-      used for <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> functions.  To prevent bypassing
-      this security measure, execution of <command>SET SESSION
-      AUTHORIZATION</command> and <command>SET ROLE</command> is now forbidden within a
-      <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> context.  (CVE-2007-6600)

-       it can determine that the join order can be changed without

-      (Noah Misch, Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      <function>xml_parse()</function> would attempt to fetch external files or
-      URLs as needed to resolve DTD and entity references in an XML value,
-      thus allowing unprivileged database users to attempt to fetch data
-      with the privileges of the database server.  While the external data
-      wouldn't get returned directly to the user, portions of it could be
-      exposed in error messages if the data didn't parse as valid XML; and
-      in any case the mere ability to check existence of a file might be
-      useful to an attacker.  (CVE-2012-3489)

-
-     <para>
-      <application>libxslt</application> offers the ability to read and write both

-      The fix for CVE-2012-3489 broke that capability, and rather than

-      Prevent too-early recycling of btree index pages (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      When we allowed read-only transactions to skip assigning XIDs, we
-      introduced the possibility that a deleted btree page could be
-      recycled while a read-only transaction was still in flight to it.
-      This would result in incorrect index search results.  The probability
-      of such an error occurring in the field seems very low because of the
-      timing requirements, but nonetheless it should be fixed.

-      If <command>ALTER SEQUENCE</command> was executed on a freshly created or

-      was made on it, and then the server crashed, WAL replay would restore
-      the sequence to a state in which it appeared that no
-      <function>nextval()</function> had been done, thus allowing the first
-      sequence value to be returned again by the next
-      <function>nextval()</function> call.  In particular this could manifest for
-      <type>serial</type> columns, since creation of a serial column's sequence

-      This situation can arise in <command>CREATE TABLE</command> with

-      <literal>INHERITS</literal> we should ideally allow it, with an implicit
-      coercion to the parent table's row type; but that will require more
-      work than seems safe to back-patch.

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      An index page split caused by an insertion could sometimes cause a
-      concurrently-running <command>VACUUM</command> to miss removing index entries
-      that it should remove.  After the corresponding table rows are removed,

-      after unrelated rows are re-inserted at the now-free table locations.
-      This bug has been present since release 8.2, but occurs so infrequently
-      that it was not diagnosed until now.  If you have reason to suspect
-      that it has happened in your database, reindexing the affected index
-      will fix things.

-      <application>pg_dump</application> mishandled situations where a child column has
-      a different default expression than its parent column.  If the default
-      is textually identical to the parent's default, but not actually the
-      same (for instance, because of schema search path differences) it would
-      not be recognized as different, so that after dump and restore the
-      child would be allowed to inherit the parent's default.  Child columns
-      that are <literal>NOT NULL</literal> where their parent is not could also be
-      restored subtly incorrectly.

-
-     <para>
-      This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the
-      foreign-key constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key
-      constraint.  That could result in failure to show a foreign key
-      constraint at all, or showing it multiple times, or claiming that it

-      Since the view definition is installed by <application>initdb</application>,

-      Change foreign-key trigger creation order to better support
-      self-referential foreign keys (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      For a cascading foreign key that references its own table, a row update
-      will fire both the <literal>ON UPDATE</literal> trigger and the
-      <literal>CHECK</literal> trigger as one event.  The <literal>ON UPDATE</literal>
-      trigger must execute first, else the <literal>CHECK</literal> will check a
-      non-final state of the row and possibly throw an inappropriate error.
-      However, the firing order of these triggers is determined by their
-      names, which generally sort in creation order since the triggers have
-      auto-generated names following the convention
-      <quote>RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN</quote>.  A proper fix would require
-      modifying that convention, which we will do in 9.2, but it seems risky
-      to change it in existing releases.  So this patch just changes the
-      creation order of the triggers.  Users encountering this type of error
-      should drop and re-create the foreign key constraint to get its
-      triggers into the right order.

-      Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in PL/Perl and
-      PL/Tcl (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change prevents security problems that can be caused by subverting
-      Perl or Tcl code that will be executed later in the same session under
-      another SQL user identity (for example, within a <literal>SECURITY
-      DEFINER</literal> function).  Most scripting languages offer numerous ways that
-      that might be done, such as redefining standard functions or operators
-      called by the target function.  Without this change, any SQL user with
-      Perl or Tcl language usage rights can do essentially anything with the
-      SQL privileges of the target function's owner.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The cost of this change is that intentional communication among Perl
-      and Tcl functions becomes more difficult.  To provide an escape hatch,
-      PL/PerlU and PL/TclU functions continue to use only one interpreter
-      per session.  This is not considered a security issue since all such
-      functions execute at the trust level of a database superuser already.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It is likely that third-party procedural languages that claim to offer
-      trusted execution have similar security issues.  We advise contacting
-      the authors of any PL you are depending on for security-critical
-      purposes.

-      Enforce restrictions in <literal>plperl</literal> using an opmask applied to
-      the whole interpreter, instead of using <filename>Safe.pm</filename>
-      (Tim Bunce, Andrew Dunstan)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Recent developments have convinced us that <filename>Safe.pm</filename> is too
-      insecure to rely on for making <literal>plperl</literal> trustable.  This
-      change removes use of <filename>Safe.pm</filename> altogether, in favor of using
-      a separate interpreter with an opcode mask that is always applied.
-      Pleasant side effects of the change include that it is now possible to
-      use Perl's <literal>strict</literal> pragma in a natural way in
-      <literal>plperl</literal>, and that Perl's <literal>$a</literal> and <literal>$b</literal>
-      variables work as expected in sort routines, and that function

-      Prevent PL/Tcl from executing untrustworthy code from

-
-     <para>
-      PL/Tcl's feature for autoloading Tcl code from a database table
-      could be exploited for trojan-horse attacks, because there was no
-      restriction on who could create or insert into that table.  This change
-      disables the feature unless <structname>pltcl_modules</structname> is owned by a
-      superuser.  (However, the permissions on the table are not checked, so
-      installations that really need a less-than-secure modules table can
-      still grant suitable privileges to trusted non-superusers.)  Also,

-      Add new configuration parameter <varname>ssl_renegotiation_limit</varname> to
-      control how often we do session key renegotiation for an SSL connection
-      (Magnus)

-
-     <para>
-      This can be set to zero to disable renegotiation completely, which may
-      be required if a broken SSL library is used.  In particular, some
-      vendors are shipping stopgap patches for CVE-2009-3555 that cause
-      renegotiation attempts to fail.

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This prevents erratic behavior if a role or database name starts with

-      This case was formerly rejected as an error, but it's more convenient to

-      Prevent error recursion crashes when encoding conversion fails (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change extends fixes made in the last two minor releases for
-      related failure scenarios.  The previous fixes were narrowly tailored
-      for the original problem reports, but we have now recognized that
-      <emphasis>any</emphasis> error thrown by an encoding conversion function could
-      potentially lead to infinite recursion while trying to report the
-      error.  The solution therefore is to disable translation and encoding
-      conversion and report the plain-ASCII form of any error message,
-      if we find we have gotten into a recursive error reporting situation.

-      Disallow <command>CREATE CONVERSION</command> with the wrong encodings
-      for the specified conversion function (Heikki)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This prevents one possible scenario for encoding conversion failure.
-      The previous change is a backstop to guard against other kinds of
-      failures in the same area.

-     <para>
-      Fix <function>xpath()</function> to not modify the path expression unless
-      necessary, and to make a saner attempt at it when necessary (Andrew)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The SQL standard suggests that <function>xpath</function> should work on data
-      that is a document fragment, but <application>libxml</application> doesn't support
-      that, and indeed it's not clear that this is sensible according to the
-      XPath standard.  <function>xpath</function> attempted to work around this
-      mismatch by modifying both the data and the path expression, but the
-      modification was buggy and could cause valid searches to fail.  Now,
-      <function>xpath</function> checks whether the data is in fact a well-formed
-      document, and if so invokes <application>libxml</application> with no change to the
-      data or path expression.  Otherwise, a different modification method
-      that is somewhat less likely to fail is used.
-     </para>
-
-     <note>
-      <para>
-       The new modification method is still not 100% satisfactory, and it
-       seems likely that no real solution is possible.  This patch should
-       therefore be viewed as a band-aid to keep from breaking existing
-       applications unnecessarily.  It is likely that
-       <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 8.4 will simply reject use of
-       <function>xpath</function> on data that is not a well-formed document.

-
-     <para>
-      If <command>CLUSTER</command> or a rewriting variant of <command>ALTER TABLE</command>
-      were executed by someone other than the table owner, the
-      <structname>pg_type</structname> entry for the table's TOAST table would end up
-      marked as owned by that someone.  This caused no immediate problems,
-      since the permissions on the TOAST rowtype aren't examined by any
-      ordinary database operation.  However, it could lead to unexpected
-      failures if one later tried to drop the role that issued the command
-      (in 8.1 or 8.2), or <quote>owner of data type appears to be invalid</quote>
-      warnings from <application>pg_dump</application> after having done so (in 8.3).

-      Most of the time this is not a particularly useful optimization, but

-      be <literal>(-42)::integer</literal> due to operator precedence rules.
-      Usually this would make little difference, but it could interact with
-      another recent patch to cause

-      In rare cases a session that had just executed a

-      A side effect of the fix is that a transaction that has executed

-      <para>
-       Non-character data types are no longer automatically cast to
-       <type>TEXT</type> (Peter, Tom)
-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-       Previously, if a non-character value was supplied to an operator or
-       function that requires <type>text</type> input, it was automatically
-       cast to <type>text</type>, for most (though not all) built-in data types.
-       This no longer happens: an explicit cast to <type>text</type> is now
-       required for all non-character-string types.  For example, these
-       expressions formerly worked:
-
-<programlisting>
-substr(current_date, 1, 4)
-23 LIKE '2%'
-</programlisting>
-
-       but will now draw <quote>function does not exist</quote> and <quote>operator
-       does not exist</quote> errors respectively.  Use an explicit cast instead:
-
-<programlisting>
-substr(current_date::text, 1, 4)
-23::text LIKE '2%'
-</programlisting>
-
-       (Of course, you can use the more verbose <literal>CAST()</literal> syntax too.)
-       The reason for the change is that these automatic casts too often caused
-       surprising behavior.  An example is that in previous releases, this
-       expression was accepted but did not do what was expected:
-
-<programlisting>
-current_date &lt; 2017-11-17
-</programlisting>
-
-       This is actually comparing a date to an integer, which should be
-       (and now is) rejected &mdash; but in the presence of automatic
-       casts both sides were cast to <type>text</type> and a textual comparison
-       was done, because the <literal>text &lt; text</literal> operator was able
-       to match the expression when no other <literal>&lt;</literal> operator could.
-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-       Types <type>char(<replaceable>n</replaceable>)</type> and
-       <type>varchar(<replaceable>n</replaceable>)</type> still cast to <type>text</type>
-       automatically.  Also, automatic casting to <type>text</type> still works for
-       inputs to the concatenation (<literal>||</literal>) operator, so long as least
-       one input is a character-string type.

-       Asynchronous commit delays writes to WAL during transaction commit
-       (Simon)
-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-       This feature dramatically increases performance for short data-modifying
-       transactions.  The disadvantage is that because disk writes are delayed,
-       if the database or operating system crashes before data is written to
-       the disk, committed data will be lost.  This feature is useful for
-       applications that can accept some data loss.  Unlike turning off
-       <varname>fsync</varname>, using asynchronous commit does not put
-       database consistency at risk; the worst case is that after a crash the
-       last few reportedly-committed transactions might not be committed after
-       all.
-       This feature is enabled by turning off <varname>synchronous_commit</varname>
-       (which can be done per-session or per-transaction, if some transactions
-       are critical and others are not).
-       <varname>wal_writer_delay</varname> can be adjusted to control the maximum
-       delay before transactions actually reach disk.

-

-       Previously all modified buffers were forced to disk as quickly as

-       This new approach spreads out disk writes during checkpoints,
-       reducing peak I/O usage. (User-requested and shutdown checkpoints

-       allows the snapshot to be discarded and a new snapshot loaded during

-      Secure Unix-domain sockets of temporary postmasters started during

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the
-      server's bootstrap superuser, then proceed to execute arbitrary code as
-      the operating-system user running the test, as we previously noted in
-      CVE-2014-0067.  This change defends against that risk by placing the
-      server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory
-      of <filename>/tmp</filename>.  The hazard remains however on platforms where
-      Unix sockets are not supported, notably Windows, because then the
-      temporary postmaster must accept local TCP connections.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      A useful side effect of this change is to simplify
-      <literal>make check</literal> testing in builds that

-      like <filename>/var/run/postgresql</filename> are often not writable by the

-      (Shin-ichi Morita, Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      <application>libpq</application> could be coerced into enlarging its input buffer
-      until it runs out of memory (which would be reported misleadingly

-      transmitted more quickly than the <function>recv()</function> loop can
-      absorb it, but this has been observed when the client is artificially
-      slowed by scheduler constraints.

-      Restore GIN metapages unconditionally to avoid torn-page risk

-
-     <para>
-      Although this oversight could theoretically result in a corrupted
-      index, it is unlikely to have caused any problems in practice, since
-      the active part of a GIN metapage is smaller than a standard 512-byte

-      Shore up <literal>GRANT ... WITH ADMIN OPTION</literal> restrictions
-      (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Granting a role without <literal>ADMIN OPTION</literal> is supposed to
-      prevent the grantee from adding or removing members from the granted
-      role, but this restriction was easily bypassed by doing <literal>SET
-      ROLE</literal> first.  The security impact is mostly that a role member can
-      revoke the access of others, contrary to the wishes of his grantor.
-      Unapproved role member additions are a lesser concern, since an
-      uncooperative role member could provide most of his rights to others
-      anyway by creating views or <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> functions.

-      Prevent privilege escalation via manual calls to PL validator
-      functions (Andres Freund)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The primary role of PL validator functions is to be called implicitly
-      during <command>CREATE FUNCTION</command>, but they are also normal SQL
-      functions that a user can call explicitly.  Calling a validator on
-      a function actually written in some other language was not checked
-      for and could be exploited for privilege-escalation purposes.
-      The fix involves adding a call to a privilege-checking function in
-      each validator function.  Non-core procedural languages will also
-      need to make this change to their own validator functions, if any.

-      If the name lookups come to different conclusions due to concurrent

-      than other parts.  At least in the case of <command>CREATE INDEX</command>,
-      this can be used to cause the permissions checks to be performed
-      against a different table than the index creation, allowing for a
-      privilege escalation attack.

-      Use <function>strlcpy()</function> and related functions to provide a clear

-      Document risks of <literal>make check</literal> in the regression testing

-
-     <para>
-      Since the temporary server started by <literal>make check</literal>
-      uses <quote>trust</quote> authentication, another user on the same machine
-      could connect to it as database superuser, and then potentially
-      exploit the privileges of the operating-system user who started the
-      tests.  A future release will probably incorporate changes in the
-      testing procedure to prevent this risk, but some public discussion is
-      needed first.  So for the moment, just warn people against using
-      <literal>make check</literal> when there are untrusted users on the

-      This would result in incorrect index search results.  The probability

-      This bug concerns sub-SELECTs that reference variables coming from the

-      certificate holder to impersonate another.  The victim would have to
-      have a common name exactly 32 bytes long, and the attacker would have
-      to persuade a trusted CA to issue a certificate in which the common
-      name has that string as a prefix.  Impersonating a server would also
-      require some additional exploit to redirect client connections.

-      Fix btree index corruption from insertions concurrent with vacuuming
-      (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      An index page split caused by an insertion could sometimes cause a
-      concurrently-running <command>VACUUM</command> to miss removing index entries
-      that it should remove.  After the corresponding table rows are removed,
-      the dangling index entries would cause errors (such as <quote>could not
-      read block N in file ...</quote>) or worse, silently wrong query results
-      after unrelated rows are re-inserted at the now-free table locations.
-      This bug has been present since release 8.2, but occurs so infrequently
-      that it was not diagnosed until now.  If you have reason to suspect
-      that it has happened in your database, reindexing the affected index

-      Avoid crashing when we have problems deleting table files post-commit

-
-     <para>
-      Dropping a table should lead to deleting the underlying disk files only
-      after the transaction commits.  In event of failure then (for instance,
-      because of wrong file permissions) the code is supposed to just emit a
-      warning message and go on, since it's too late to abort the
-      transaction.  This logic got broken as of release 8.4, causing such
-      situations to result in a PANIC and an unrestartable database.

-      Previously the OID counter would remain stuck at a high value until the

-      been promoted to master might take a long time to advance the OID

-
-     <para>
-      This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the
-      foreign-key constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key
-      constraint.  That could result in failure to show a foreign key

-      Since the view definition is installed by <application>initdb</application>,

-      Change foreign-key trigger creation order to better support
-      self-referential foreign keys (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      For a cascading foreign key that references its own table, a row update
-      will fire both the <literal>ON UPDATE</literal> trigger and the
-      <literal>CHECK</literal> trigger as one event.  The <literal>ON UPDATE</literal>
-      trigger must execute first, else the <literal>CHECK</literal> will check a
-      non-final state of the row and possibly throw an inappropriate error.
-      However, the firing order of these triggers is determined by their
-      names, which generally sort in creation order since the triggers have
-      auto-generated names following the convention
-      <quote>RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN</quote>.  A proper fix would require
-      modifying that convention, which we will do in 9.2, but it seems risky
-      to change it in existing releases.  So this patch just changes the
-      creation order of the triggers.  Users encountering this type of error
-      should drop and re-create the foreign key constraint to get its
-      triggers into the right order.

-      Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in PL/Perl and
-      PL/Tcl (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change prevents security problems that can be caused by subverting
-      Perl or Tcl code that will be executed later in the same session under
-      another SQL user identity (for example, within a <literal>SECURITY
-      DEFINER</literal> function).  Most scripting languages offer numerous ways that
-      that might be done, such as redefining standard functions or operators
-      called by the target function.  Without this change, any SQL user with
-      Perl or Tcl language usage rights can do essentially anything with the
-      SQL privileges of the target function's owner.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The cost of this change is that intentional communication among Perl
-      and Tcl functions becomes more difficult.  To provide an escape hatch,
-      PL/PerlU and PL/TclU functions continue to use only one interpreter
-      per session.  This is not considered a security issue since all such
-      functions execute at the trust level of a database superuser already.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It is likely that third-party procedural languages that claim to offer
-      trusted execution have similar security issues.  We advise contacting
-      the authors of any PL you are depending on for security-critical
-      purposes.

-      Enforce restrictions in <literal>plperl</literal> using an opmask applied to
-      the whole interpreter, instead of using <filename>Safe.pm</filename>
-      (Tim Bunce, Andrew Dunstan)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Recent developments have convinced us that <filename>Safe.pm</filename> is too
-      insecure to rely on for making <literal>plperl</literal> trustable.  This
-      change removes use of <filename>Safe.pm</filename> altogether, in favor of using
-      a separate interpreter with an opcode mask that is always applied.
-      Pleasant side effects of the change include that it is now possible to
-      use Perl's <literal>strict</literal> pragma in a natural way in
-      <literal>plperl</literal>, and that Perl's <literal>$a</literal> and <literal>$b</literal>
-      variables work as expected in sort routines, and that function
-      compilation is significantly faster.  (CVE-2010-1169)

-      Prevent PL/Tcl from executing untrustworthy code from

-
-     <para>
-      PL/Tcl's feature for autoloading Tcl code from a database table
-      could be exploited for trojan-horse attacks, because there was no
-      restriction on who could create or insert into that table.  This change
-      disables the feature unless <structname>pltcl_modules</structname> is owned by a
-      superuser.  (However, the permissions on the table are not checked, so
-      installations that really need a less-than-secure modules table can
-      still grant suitable privileges to trusted non-superusers.)  Also,
-      prevent loading code into the unrestricted <quote>normal</quote> Tcl

-      could occur on the master as well if a database crash and recovery

-     <para>
-      The 8.4 change that made hash indexes keep entries sorted by hash value
-      failed to update the bucket splitting and compaction routines to

-      could lead to permanent corruption of an index, in the sense that
-      searches might fail to find entries that are present.  To deal with
-      this, it is recommended to <literal>REINDEX</literal> any hash indexes you may
-      have after installing this update.

-
-      <para>
-       Previously, these types of queries always removed duplicate rows
-       by means of Sort/Unique processing (i.e., sort then remove adjacent
-       duplicates).  Now they can be implemented by hashing, which will not
-       produce sorted output.  If an application relied on the output being
-       in sorted order, the recommended fix is to add an <literal>ORDER BY</literal>
-       clause.  As a short-term workaround, the previous behavior can be
-       restored by disabling <literal>enable_hashagg</literal>, but that is a very
-       performance-expensive fix.  <literal>SELECT DISTINCT ON</literal> never uses
-       hashing, however, so its behavior is unchanged.

-      While use of SSL renegotiation is a good idea in theory, we have seen

-      in our usage of it.  Renegotiation will be removed entirely in 9.5 and

-      In the previous minor releases we added a patch to <function>fsync</function>

-      An example is that an unwritable file in the data directory would
-      prevent restart on some platforms; but it is common to make SSL
-      certificate files unwritable by the server.  Revise this behavior so
-      that permissions failures are ignored altogether, and other types of

-      This hack was added in 2003 in response to a report that some Linux

-      crashes on some systems, so let's just remove it rather than fix it.
-      (Had we chosen to fix it, that would make for a subtle and potentially
-      security-sensitive change in the effective meaning of

-      When sending large volumes of data, it's important to drain the input

-      STDIN</literal>.)  This worked properly in the normal blocking mode, but not
-      so much in non-blocking mode.  We've modified <application>libpq</application>
-      to opportunistically drain input when it can, but a full defense
-      against this problem requires application cooperation: the application
-      should watch for socket read-ready as well as write-ready conditions,

-      Fix possible loss of frontend/backend protocol synchronization after
-      an error
-      (Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If any error occurred while the server was in the middle of reading a
-      protocol message from the client, it could lose synchronization and
-      incorrectly try to interpret part of the message's data as a new
-      protocol message.  An attacker able to submit crafted binary data
-      within a command parameter might succeed in injecting his own SQL
-      commands this way.  Statement timeout and query cancellation are the
-      most likely sources of errors triggering this scenario.  Particularly
-      vulnerable are applications that use a timeout and also submit
-      arbitrary user-crafted data as binary query parameters.  Disabling
-      statement timeout will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of
-      exploit.  Our thanks to Emil Lenngren for reporting this issue.

-     <para>
-      Even when autovacuum is nominally off, we will still launch autovacuum

-      However, such a worker process then proceeded to vacuum all tables in

-      Support time zone abbreviations that change UTC offset from time to

-      Previously, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> assumed that the UTC offset

-      Update the zone abbreviation definition files to make use of this
-      feature in timezone locales that have changed the UTC offset of their
-      abbreviations since 1970 (according to the IANA timezone database).
-      In such timezones, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> will now associate the
-      correct UTC offset with the abbreviation depending on the given date.

-      Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the

-      server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory
-      of <filename>/tmp</filename>.  The hazard remains however on platforms where
-      Unix sockets are not supported, notably Windows, because then the

-      Restore GIN metapages unconditionally to avoid torn-page risk
-      (Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Although this oversight could theoretically result in a corrupted
-      index, it is unlikely to have caused any problems in practice, since
-      the active part of a GIN metapage is smaller than a standard 512-byte
-      disk sector.

-      Avoid race condition in checking transaction commit status during

-      Shore up <literal>GRANT ... WITH ADMIN OPTION</literal> restrictions
-      (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Granting a role without <literal>ADMIN OPTION</literal> is supposed to
-      prevent the grantee from adding or removing members from the granted
-      role, but this restriction was easily bypassed by doing <literal>SET
-      ROLE</literal> first.  The security impact is mostly that a role member can
-      revoke the access of others, contrary to the wishes of his grantor.
-      Unapproved role member additions are a lesser concern, since an
-      uncooperative role member could provide most of his rights to others
-      anyway by creating views or <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> functions.

-      Prevent privilege escalation via manual calls to PL validator
-      functions (Andres Freund)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The primary role of PL validator functions is to be called implicitly
-      during <command>CREATE FUNCTION</command>, but they are also normal SQL
-      functions that a user can call explicitly.  Calling a validator on
-      a function actually written in some other language was not checked
-      for and could be exploited for privilege-escalation purposes.
-      The fix involves adding a call to a privilege-checking function in
-      each validator function.  Non-core procedural languages will also
-      need to make this change to their own validator functions, if any.

-
-     <para>
-      If the name lookups come to different conclusions due to concurrent
-      activity, we might perform some parts of the DDL on a different table
-      than other parts.  At least in the case of <command>CREATE INDEX</command>,
-      this can be used to cause the permissions checks to be performed
-      against a different table than the index creation, allowing for a
-      privilege escalation attack.

-      The <literal>MAXDATELEN</literal> constant was too small for the longest
-      possible value of type <type>interval</type>, allowing a buffer overrun
-      in <function>interval_out()</function>.  Although the datetime input
-      functions were more careful about avoiding buffer overrun, the limit
-      was short enough to cause them to reject some valid inputs, such as
-      input containing a very long timezone name.  The <application>ecpg</application>
-      library contained these vulnerabilities along with some of its own.

-      Several functions, mostly type input functions, calculated an

-
-     <para>
-      Use <function>strlcpy()</function> and related functions to provide a clear
-      guarantee that fixed-size buffers are not overrun.  Unlike the
-      preceding items, it is unclear whether these cases really represent
-      live issues, since in most cases there appear to be previous
-      constraints on the size of the input string.  Nonetheless it seems
-      prudent to silence all Coverity warnings of this type.

-      There are relatively few scenarios in which <function>crypt()</function>
-      could return NULL, but <filename>contrib/chkpass</filename> would crash
-      if it did.  One practical case in which this could be an issue is

-      Document risks of <literal>make check</literal> in the regression testing

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Since the temporary server started by <literal>make check</literal>
-      uses <quote>trust</quote> authentication, another user on the same machine
-      could connect to it as database superuser, and then potentially
-      exploit the privileges of the operating-system user who started the
-      tests.  A future release will probably incorporate changes in the
-      testing procedure to prevent this risk, but some public discussion is
-      needed first.  So for the moment, just warn people against using
-      <literal>make check</literal> when there are untrusted users on the
-      same machine.

-      The WAL update could be applied to the wrong page, potentially many

-      Fix <command>VACUUM</command>'s tests to see whether it can
-      update <structfield>relfrozenxid</structfield> (Andres Freund)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      In some cases <command>VACUUM</command> (either manual or autovacuum) could
-      incorrectly advance a table's <structfield>relfrozenxid</structfield> value,
-      allowing tuples to escape freezing, causing those rows to become
-      invisible once 2^31 transactions have elapsed.  The probability of
-      data loss is fairly low since multiple incorrect advancements would
-      need to happen before actual loss occurs, but it's not zero.  Users
-      upgrading from releases 9.0.4 or 8.4.8 or earlier are not affected, but
-      all later versions contain the bug.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The issue can be ameliorated by, after upgrading, vacuuming all tables
-      in all databases while having <link
-      linkend="guc-vacuum-freeze-table-age"><varname>vacuum_freeze_table_age</varname></link>
-      set to zero.  This will fix any latent corruption but will not be able
-      to fix all pre-existing data errors.  However, an installation can be
-      presumed safe after performing this vacuuming if it has executed fewer
-      than 2^31 update transactions in its lifetime (check this with
-      <literal>SELECT txid_current() &lt; 2^31</literal>).

-      Fix initialization of <filename>pg_clog</filename> and <filename>pg_subtrans</filename>
-      during hot standby startup (Andres Freund, Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This bug can cause data loss on standby servers at the moment they
-      start to accept hot-standby queries, by marking committed transactions
-      as uncommitted. The likelihood of such corruption is small unless, at
-      the time of standby startup, the primary server has executed many
-      updating transactions since its last checkpoint.  Symptoms include
-      missing rows, rows that should have been deleted being still visible,
-      and obsolete versions of updated rows being still visible alongside
-      their newer versions.

-     <para>
-      This bug was introduced in versions 9.3.0, 9.2.5, 9.1.10, and 9.0.14.
-      Standby servers that have only been running earlier releases are not
-      at risk.  It's recommended that standby servers that have ever run any
-      of the buggy releases be re-cloned from the primary (e.g., with a new
-      base backup) after upgrading.

-      Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads
-      (Jan Wieck)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
-      lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
-      when there are conflicting lock requests.  Under load, it is easily
-      possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
-      Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
-      attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue.  This fix also greatly
-      reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
-      conflicting request arrives.

-      (Noah Misch, Tom Lane)

-      <function>xml_parse()</function> would attempt to fetch external files or
-      URLs as needed to resolve DTD and entity references in an XML value,
-      thus allowing unprivileged database users to attempt to fetch data
-      with the privileges of the database server.  While the external data
-      wouldn't get returned directly to the user, portions of it could be
-      exposed in error messages if the data didn't parse as valid XML; and
-      in any case the mere ability to check existence of a file might be

-      <application>libxslt</application> offers the ability to read and write both

-      The fix for CVE-2012-3489 broke that capability, and rather than

-      Prevent too-early recycling of btree index pages (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      When we allowed read-only transactions to skip assigning XIDs, we
-      introduced the possibility that a deleted btree page could be
-      recycled while a read-only transaction was still in flight to it.
-      This would result in incorrect index search results.  The probability
-      of such an error occurring in the field seems very low because of the
-      timing requirements, but nonetheless it should be fixed.

-      If <command>ALTER SEQUENCE</command> was executed on a freshly created or

-      was made on it, and then the server crashed, WAL replay would restore
-      the sequence to a state in which it appeared that no
-      <function>nextval()</function> had been done, thus allowing the first
-      sequence value to be returned again by the next
-      <function>nextval()</function> call.  In particular this could manifest for
-      <type>serial</type> columns, since creation of a serial column's sequence

-      If a password string contained the byte value <literal>0x80</literal>, the

-      are some rather-implausible scenarios in which it might allow one
-      certificate holder to impersonate another.  The victim would have to
-      have a common name exactly 32 bytes long, and the attacker would have
-      to persuade a trusted CA to issue a certificate in which the common
-      name has that string as a prefix.  Impersonating a server would also
-      require some additional exploit to redirect client connections.

-      Fix btree index corruption from insertions concurrent with vacuuming
-      (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      An index page split caused by an insertion could sometimes cause a
-      concurrently-running <command>VACUUM</command> to miss removing index entries
-      that it should remove.  After the corresponding table rows are removed,
-      the dangling index entries would cause errors (such as <quote>could not
-      read block N in file ...</quote>) or worse, silently wrong query results
-      after unrelated rows are re-inserted at the now-free table locations.
-      This bug has been present since release 8.2, but occurs so infrequently
-      that it was not diagnosed until now.  If you have reason to suspect
-      that it has happened in your database, reindexing the affected index

-
-     <para>
-      Dropping a table should lead to deleting the underlying disk files only
-      after the transaction commits.  In event of failure then (for instance,
-      because of wrong file permissions) the code is supposed to just emit a
-      warning message and go on, since it's too late to abort the
-      transaction.  This logic got broken as of release 8.4, causing such
-      situations to result in a PANIC and an unrestartable database.

-      Replay will attempt to remove the tablespace's directories, but there
-      are various reasons why this might fail (for example, incorrect
-      ownership or permissions on those directories).  Formerly the replay
-      code would panic, rendering the database unrestartable without manual
-      intervention.  It seems better to log the problem and continue, since
-      the only consequence of failure to remove the directories is some
-      wasted disk space.

-      Previously the OID counter would remain stuck at a high value until the

-      been promoted to master might take a long time to advance the OID

-
-     <para>
-      This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the
-      foreign-key constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key
-      constraint.  That could result in failure to show a foreign key

-      Since the view definition is installed by <application>initdb</application>,

-      Change foreign-key trigger creation order to better support

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      For a cascading foreign key that references its own table, a row update
-      will fire both the <literal>ON UPDATE</literal> trigger and the
-      <literal>CHECK</literal> trigger as one event.  The <literal>ON UPDATE</literal>
-      trigger must execute first, else the <literal>CHECK</literal> will check a
-      non-final state of the row and possibly throw an inappropriate error.
-      However, the firing order of these triggers is determined by their
-      names, which generally sort in creation order since the triggers have
-      auto-generated names following the convention
-      <quote>RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN</quote>.  A proper fix would require
-      modifying that convention, which we will do in 9.2, but it seems risky
-      to change it in existing releases.  So this patch just changes the
-      creation order of the triggers.  Users encountering this type of error
-      should drop and re-create the foreign key constraint to get its
-      triggers into the right order.

-      Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in PL/Perl and
-      PL/Tcl (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change prevents security problems that can be caused by subverting
-      Perl or Tcl code that will be executed later in the same session under
-      another SQL user identity (for example, within a <literal>SECURITY
-      DEFINER</literal> function).  Most scripting languages offer numerous ways that
-      that might be done, such as redefining standard functions or operators
-      called by the target function.  Without this change, any SQL user with
-      Perl or Tcl language usage rights can do essentially anything with the
-      SQL privileges of the target function's owner.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The cost of this change is that intentional communication among Perl
-      and Tcl functions becomes more difficult.  To provide an escape hatch,
-      PL/PerlU and PL/TclU functions continue to use only one interpreter
-      per session.  This is not considered a security issue since all such
-      functions execute at the trust level of a database superuser already.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It is likely that third-party procedural languages that claim to offer
-      trusted execution have similar security issues.  We advise contacting
-      the authors of any PL you are depending on for security-critical
-      purposes.

-    This release of
-    <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> adds features that have been requested
-    for years, such as easy-to-use replication, a mass permission-changing
-    facility, and anonymous code blocks. While past major releases have
-    been conservative in their scope, this release shows a
-    bold new desire to provide facilities that new and existing
-    users of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> will embrace. This has all
-    been done with few incompatibilities. Major enhancements include:

-      Built-in replication based on log shipping.  This advance consists of
-      two features: Streaming Replication, allowing continuous archive
-      (<acronym>WAL</acronym>) files to be streamed over a network connection to a
-      standby server, and Hot Standby, allowing continuous archive standby
-      servers to execute read-only queries.  The net effect is to support a

-      Formerly, a statement like

-      <replaceable>fld</replaceable> was of composite type.  Now it is treated as a

-      If you need to do this in a way that will work in both 9.0 and previous

-      Fix improper repetition of previous results from hashed aggregation in

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The test to see if we can reuse a previously-computed hash table of
-      the aggregate state values neglected the possibility of an outer query
-      reference appearing in an aggregate argument expression.  A change in
-      the value of such a reference should lead to recalculating the hash
-      table, but did not.

-
-     <para>
-      The timeout was meant to be 50 milliseconds, but it was actually only

-
-     <para>
-      We allow numeric values up to the limit of the storage format (more

-      that <function>numeric_in()</function> rejected scientific-notation exponents

-
-     <para>
-      If a dynamic time zone abbreviation does not match any entry in the

-      This avoids unexpected failures when IANA removes abbreviations from
-      their time zone database, as they did in <application>tzdata</application>
-      release 2016f and seem likely to do again in the future.  The
-      consequences were not limited to not recognizing the individual
-      abbreviation; any mismatch caused
-      the <structname>pg_timezone_abbrevs</structname> view to fail altogether.

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The IANA time zone database previously provided textual abbreviations
-      for all time zones, sometimes making up abbreviations that have little
-      or no currency among the local population.  They are in process of
-      reversing that policy in favor of using numeric UTC offsets in zones
-      where there is no evidence of real-world use of an English
-      abbreviation.  At least for the time being, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
-      will continue to accept such removed abbreviations for timestamp input.
-      But they will not be shown in the <structname>pg_timezone_names</structname>

-      In this update, <literal>AMT</literal> is no longer shown as being in use to

-     </para>
-

-      A <literal>CASE</literal> expression appearing within the test value
-      subexpression of another <literal>CASE</literal> could become confused about
-      whether its own test value was null or not.  Also, inlining of a SQL

-      a <literal>CASE</literal> expression could result in passing the wrong test
-      value to functions called within a <literal>CASE</literal> expression in the

-      types, a crash might result; moreover such situations could be abused

-      Fix client programs' handling of special characters in database and

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Numerous places in <application>vacuumdb</application> and other client programs
-      could become confused by database and role names containing double
-      quotes or backslashes.  Tighten up quoting rules to make that safe.
-      Also, ensure that when a conninfo string is used as a database name
-      parameter to these programs, it is correctly treated as such throughout.

-
-     <para>
-      Introduce a new <option>-reuse-previous</option> option
-      in <application>psql</application>'s <command>\connect</command> command to allow
-      explicit control of whether to re-use connection parameters from a
-      previous connection.  (Without this, the choice is based on whether
-      the database name looks like a conninfo string, as before.)  This
-      allows secure handling of database names containing special
-      characters in <application>pg_dumpall</application> scripts.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      <application>pg_dumpall</application> now refuses to deal with database and role
-      names containing carriage returns or newlines, as it seems impractical
-      to quote those characters safely on Windows.  In future we may reject

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      These are considered security fixes because crafted object names

-      The SQL standard specifies that <literal>IS NULL</literal> should return

-      (thus <literal>ROW(NULL, ROW(NULL,NULL)) IS NULL</literal> yields FALSE).
-      The core executor got this right, but certain planner optimizations
-      treated the test as recursive (thus producing TRUE in both cases),
-      and <filename>contrib/postgres_fdw</filename> could produce remote queries

-      Previously, these cases locked the target tuple (by setting its XMAX)

-      that <application>pg_basebackup</application> can handle files larger than 8GB.
-      In addition, fix some portability issues that could cause failures for
-      members between 4GB and 8GB on some platforms.  Potentially these

-      Avoid failures while <function>fsync</function>'ing data directory during

-
-     <para>
-      In the previous minor releases we added a patch to <function>fsync</function>
-      everything in the data directory after a crash.  Unfortunately its
-      response to any error condition was to fail, thereby preventing the
-      server from starting up, even when the problem was quite harmless.
-      An example is that an unwritable file in the data directory would
-      prevent restart on some platforms; but it is common to make SSL
-      certificate files unwritable by the server.  Revise this behavior so
-      that permissions failures are ignored altogether, and other types of
-      failures are logged but do not prevent continuing.

-      Our replacement implementation of <function>snprintf()</function> failed to

-      In the worst case this might lead to information exposure, due to our

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      These functions should return <type>setof text[]</type>, like the core
-      functions they are wrappers for; but they were incorrectly declared as
-      returning just <type>text[]</type>.  This mistake had two results: first,
-      if there was no match you got a scalar null result, whereas what you
-      should get is an empty set (zero rows).  Second, the <literal>g</literal> flag
-      was effectively ignored, since you would get only one result array even
-      if there were multiple matches.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      While the latter behavior is clearly a bug, there might be applications
-      depending on the former behavior; therefore the function declarations

-      In pre-9.5 branches, the old behavior exists in version 1.0 of
-      the <literal>citext</literal> extension, while we have provided corrected
-      declarations in version 1.1 (which is <emphasis>not</emphasis> installed by
-      default).  To adopt the fix in pre-9.5 branches, execute
-      <literal>ALTER EXTENSION citext UPDATE TO '1.1'</literal> in each database in
-      which <literal>citext</literal> is installed.  (You can also <quote>update</quote>
-      back to 1.0 if you need to undo that.)  Be aware that either update
-      direction will require dropping and recreating any views or rules that

-      IPv4-in-IPv6 addresses.  However, the logic was accidentally broken in
-      9.0.  The lack of any field complaints since then shows that it's not
-      needed anymore.  Now we have reports that the broken code causes
-      crashes on some systems, so let's just remove it rather than fix it.
-      (Had we chosen to fix it, that would make for a subtle and potentially
-      security-sensitive change in the effective meaning of
-      IPv4 <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> entries, which does not seem like a good
-      thing to do in minor releases.)

-      When sending large volumes of data, it's important to drain the input
-      buffer every so often, in case the server has sent enough response data
-      to cause it to block on output.  (A typical scenario is that the server
-      is sending a stream of NOTICE messages during <literal>COPY FROM
-      STDIN</literal>.)  This worked properly in the normal blocking mode, but not
-      so much in non-blocking mode.  We've modified <application>libpq</application>
-      to opportunistically drain input when it can, but a full defense
-      against this problem requires application cooperation: the application
-      should watch for socket read-ready as well as write-ready conditions,
-      and be sure to call <function>PQconsumeInput()</function> upon read-ready.

-      Fix possible loss of frontend/backend protocol synchronization after
-      an error
-      (Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If any error occurred while the server was in the middle of reading a
-      protocol message from the client, it could lose synchronization and
-      incorrectly try to interpret part of the message's data as a new
-      protocol message.  An attacker able to submit crafted binary data
-      within a command parameter might succeed in injecting his own SQL
-      commands this way.  Statement timeout and query cancellation are the
-      most likely sources of errors triggering this scenario.  Particularly
-      vulnerable are applications that use a timeout and also submit
-      arbitrary user-crafted data as binary query parameters.  Disabling
-      statement timeout will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of
-      exploit.  Our thanks to Emil Lenngren for reporting this issue.

-      Support time zone abbreviations that change UTC offset from time to

-      Previously, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> assumed that the UTC offset

-      feature in timezone locales that have changed the UTC offset of their
-      abbreviations since 1970 (according to the IANA timezone database).
-      In such timezones, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> will now associate the
-      correct UTC offset with the abbreviation depending on the given date.

-      Granting a role without <literal>ADMIN OPTION</literal> is supposed to

-      Unapproved role member additions are a lesser concern, since an

-      Prevent privilege escalation via manual calls to PL validator

-     <para>
-      The primary role of PL validator functions is to be called implicitly
-      during <command>CREATE FUNCTION</command>, but they are also normal SQL
-      functions that a user can call explicitly.  Calling a validator on
-      a function actually written in some other language was not checked
-      for and could be exploited for privilege-escalation purposes.
-      The fix involves adding a call to a privilege-checking function in
-      each validator function.  Non-core procedural languages will also
-      need to make this change to their own validator functions, if any.

-      Since the temporary server started by <literal>make check</literal>

-      Fix <command>VACUUM</command>'s tests to see whether it can
-      update <structfield>relfrozenxid</structfield> (Andres Freund)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      In some cases <command>VACUUM</command> (either manual or autovacuum) could
-      incorrectly advance a table's <structfield>relfrozenxid</structfield> value,
-      allowing tuples to escape freezing, causing those rows to become
-      invisible once 2^31 transactions have elapsed.  The probability of
-      data loss is fairly low since multiple incorrect advancements would
-      need to happen before actual loss occurs, but it's not zero.  Users
-      upgrading from releases 9.0.4 or 8.4.8 or earlier are not affected, but
-      all later versions contain the bug.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The issue can be ameliorated by, after upgrading, vacuuming all tables
-      in all databases while having <link
-      linkend="guc-vacuum-freeze-table-age"><varname>vacuum_freeze_table_age</varname></link>
-      set to zero.  This will fix any latent corruption but will not be able
-      to fix all pre-existing data errors.  However, an installation can be
-      presumed safe after performing this vacuuming if it has executed fewer
-      than 2^31 update transactions in its lifetime (check this with
-      <literal>SELECT txid_current() &lt; 2^31</literal>).

-      Fix initialization of <filename>pg_clog</filename> and <filename>pg_subtrans</filename>
-      during hot standby startup (Andres Freund, Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This bug can cause data loss on standby servers at the moment they
-      start to accept hot-standby queries, by marking committed transactions
-      as uncommitted. The likelihood of such corruption is small unless, at
-      the time of standby startup, the primary server has executed many
-      updating transactions since its last checkpoint.  Symptoms include
-      missing rows, rows that should have been deleted being still visible,
-      and obsolete versions of updated rows being still visible alongside
-      their newer versions.

-
-     <para>
-      This bug was introduced in versions 9.3.0, 9.2.5, 9.1.10, and 9.0.14.
-      Standby servers that have only been running earlier releases are not
-      at risk.  It's recommended that standby servers that have ever run any
-      of the buggy releases be re-cloned from the primary (e.g., with a new
-      base backup) after upgrading.

-      Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads
-      (Jan Wieck)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
-      lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
-      when there are conflicting lock requests.  Under load, it is easily
-      possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
-      Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
-      attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue.  This fix also greatly
-      reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
-      conflicting request arrives.

-      Fix persistence marking of shared buffers during WAL replay
-      (Jeff Davis)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This mistake can result in buffers not being written out during
-      checkpoints, resulting in data corruption if the server later crashes
-      without ever having written those buffers.  Corruption can occur on
-      any server following crash recovery, but it is significantly more
-      likely to occur on standby slave servers since those perform much
-      more WAL replay.  There is a low probability of corruption of btree
-      and GIN indexes.  There is a much higher probability of corruption of
-      table <quote>visibility maps</quote>.  Fortunately, visibility maps are
-      non-critical data in 9.1, so the worst consequence of such corruption
-      in 9.1 installations is transient inefficiency of vacuuming.  Table
-      data proper cannot be corrupted by this bug.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      While no index corruption due to this bug is known to have occurred
-      in the field, as a precautionary measure it is recommended that
-      production installations <command>REINDEX</command> all btree and GIN
-      indexes at a convenient time after upgrading to 9.1.6.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Also, if you intend to do an in-place upgrade to 9.2.X, before doing
-      so it is recommended to perform a <command>VACUUM</command> of all tables
-      while having <link
-      linkend="guc-vacuum-freeze-table-age"><varname>vacuum_freeze_table_age</varname></link>
-      set to zero.  This will ensure that any lingering wrong data in the
-      visibility maps is corrected before 9.2.X can depend on it.  <link
-      linkend="guc-vacuum-cost-delay"><varname>vacuum_cost_delay</varname></link>
-      can be adjusted to reduce the performance impact of vacuuming, while
-      causing it to take longer to finish.

-      Prevent too-early recycling of btree index pages (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      When we allowed read-only transactions to skip assigning XIDs, we
-      introduced the possibility that a deleted btree page could be
-      recycled while a read-only transaction was still in flight to it.
-      This would result in incorrect index search results.  The probability
-      of such an error occurring in the field seems very low because of the
-      timing requirements, but nonetheless it should be fixed.

-      If a password string contained the byte value <literal>0x80</literal>, the

-      Make <filename>contrib/citext</filename>'s upgrade script fix collations of

-      (Tom Lane)

-
-     <para>
-      Release 9.1.2 provided a fix for collations of <type>citext</type> columns
-      and indexes in databases upgraded or reloaded from pre-9.1
-      installations, but that fix was incomplete: it neglected to handle arrays
-      and domains over <type>citext</type>.  This release extends the module's
-      upgrade script to handle these cases.  As before, if you have already
-      run the upgrade script, you'll need to run the collation update
-      commands by hand instead.  See the 9.1.2 release notes for more
-      information about doing this.

-      This bug concerns sub-SELECTs that reference variables coming from the

-      In 9.1, queries affected by this bug would fail with <quote>ERROR:
-      Upper-level PlaceHolderVar found where not expected</quote>.  But in 9.0 and
-      8.4, you'd silently get possibly-wrong answers, since the value

-      to persuade a trusted CA to issue a certificate in which the common
-      name has that string as a prefix.  Impersonating a server would also

-    However, a longstanding error was discovered in the definition of the

-    Also, if you use the <type>citext</type> data type, and you upgraded
-    from a previous major release by running <application>pg_upgrade</application>,
-    you should run <literal>CREATE EXTENSION citext FROM unpackaged</literal>
-    to avoid collation-related failures in <type>citext</type> operations.
-    The same is necessary if you restore a dump from a pre-9.1 database
-    that contains an instance of the <type>citext</type> data type.
-    If you've already run the <command>CREATE EXTENSION</command> command before
-    upgrading to 9.1.2, you will instead need to do manual catalog updates
-    as explained in the second changelog item.

-      This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the
-      foreign-key constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key
-      constraint.  That could result in failure to show a foreign key
-      constraint at all, or showing it multiple times, or claiming that it

-      such as <quote>could not determine which collation to use for string

-      Change foreign-key trigger creation order to better support
-      self-referential foreign keys (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      For a cascading foreign key that references its own table, a row update
-      will fire both the <literal>ON UPDATE</literal> trigger and the
-      <literal>CHECK</literal> trigger as one event.  The <literal>ON UPDATE</literal>
-      trigger must execute first, else the <literal>CHECK</literal> will check a
-      non-final state of the row and possibly throw an inappropriate error.
-      However, the firing order of these triggers is determined by their
-      names, which generally sort in creation order since the triggers have
-      auto-generated names following the convention
-      <quote>RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN</quote>.  A proper fix would require
-      modifying that convention, which we will do in 9.2, but it seems risky
-      to change it in existing releases.  So this patch just changes the
-      creation order of the triggers.  Users encountering this type of error
-      should drop and re-create the foreign key constraint to get its
-      triggers into the right order.

-    functionality that is unique to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
-    The streaming replication feature introduced in release 9.0 is
-    significantly enhanced by adding a synchronous-replication option,
-    streaming backups, and monitoring improvements.

-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-       By default, backslashes are now ordinary characters in string literals,
-       not escape characters.  This change removes a long-standing
-       incompatibility with the SQL standard.  <link
-       linkend="guc-escape-string-warning"><varname>escape_string_warning</varname></link>
-       has produced warnings about this usage for years.  <literal>E''</literal>

-       unaffected by this change.
-      </para>
-
-      <warning>
-       <para>
-        This change can break applications that are not expecting it and
-        do their own string escaping according to the old rules.  The
-        consequences could be as severe as introducing SQL-injection security
-        holes.  Be sure to test applications that are exposed to untrusted
-        input, to ensure that they correctly handle single quotes and
-        backslashes in text strings.

-       rejecting such expressions.

-       Assignment to an element of such a domain value, for instance via

-       rechecking the domain type's constraints, whereas before the checks

-      Fix sample server-start scripts to become <literal>$PGUSER</literal>
-      before opening <literal>$PGLOG</literal> (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Previously, the postmaster log file was opened while still running as
-      root.  The database owner could therefore mount an attack against
-      another system user by making <literal>$PGLOG</literal> be a symbolic
-      link to some other file, which would then become corrupted by appending
-      log messages.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      By default, these scripts are not installed anywhere.  Users who have
-      made use of them will need to manually recopy them, or apply the same
-      changes to their modified versions.  If the
-      existing <literal>$PGLOG</literal> file is root-owned, it will need to
-      be removed or renamed out of the way before restarting the server with
-      the corrected script.

-      Prevent exposure of statistical information via leaky operators
-      (Peter Eisentraut)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Some selectivity estimation functions in the planner will apply
-      user-defined operators to values obtained
-      from <structname>pg_statistic</structname>, such as most common values and
-      histogram entries.  This occurs before table permissions are checked,
-      so a nefarious user could exploit the behavior to obtain these values
-      for table columns he does not have permission to read.  To fix,
-      fall back to a default estimate if the operator's implementation
-      function is not certified leak-proof and the calling user does not have
-      permission to read the table column whose statistics are needed.
-      At least one of these criteria is satisfied in most cases in practice.

-      Use correct daylight-savings rules for POSIX-style time zone names

-
-     <para>
-      The Microsoft MSVC build scripts neglected to install

-      This resulted in the timezone code falling back to its built-in
-      rule about what DST behavior to assume for a POSIX-style time zone
-      name.  For historical reasons that still corresponds to the DST rules
-      the USA was using before 2007 (i.e., change on first Sunday in April
-      and last Sunday in October).  With this fix, a POSIX-style zone name
-      will use the current and historical DST transition dates of
-      the <literal>US/Eastern</literal> zone.  If you don't want that, remove

-      Fix a race condition that could cause indexes built
-      with <command>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> to be corrupt
-      (Pavan Deolasee, Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If <command>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> was used to build an index
-      that depends on a column not previously indexed, then rows
-      updated by transactions that ran concurrently with
-      the <command>CREATE INDEX</command> command could have received incorrect
-      index entries.  If you suspect this may have happened, the most
-      reliable solution is to rebuild affected indexes after installing
-      this update.

-      Check for serializability conflicts before reporting
-      constraint-violation failures (Thomas Munro)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      When using serializable transaction isolation, it is desirable
-      that any error due to concurrent transactions should manifest
-      as a serialization failure, thereby cueing the application that
-      a retry might succeed.  Unfortunately, this does not reliably
-      happen for duplicate-key failures caused by concurrent insertions.
-      This change ensures that such an error will be reported as a
-      serialization error if the application explicitly checked for
-      the presence of a conflicting key (and did not find it) earlier
-      in the transaction.

-      In some cases, a cast that should result in zeroing out

-      In the previous minor releases we added a patch to <function>fsync</function>
-      everything in the data directory after a crash.  Unfortunately its
-      response to any error condition was to fail, thereby preventing the
-      server from starting up, even when the problem was quite harmless.
-      An example is that an unwritable file in the data directory would
-      prevent restart on some platforms; but it is common to make SSL
-      certificate files unwritable by the server.  Revise this behavior so
-      that permissions failures are ignored altogether, and other types of
-      failures are logged but do not prevent continuing.

-      already capable of such negotiation, so no change is needed on the

-      If the timeout interrupt fired partway through the session shutdown

-      shows that an unauthenticated remote attacker could trigger the bug

-      Improve detection of system-call failures (Noah Misch)

-      Our replacement implementation of <function>snprintf()</function> failed to
-      check for errors reported by the underlying system library calls;
-      the main case that might be missed is out-of-memory situations.
-      In the worst case this might lead to information exposure, due to our
-      code assuming that a buffer had been overwritten when it hadn't been.
-      Also, there were a few places in which security-relevant calls of other
-      system library functions did not check for failure.

-     <para>
-      It remains possible that some calls of the <function>*printf()</function>
-      family of functions are vulnerable to information disclosure if an
-      out-of-memory error occurs at just the wrong time.  We judge the risk
-      to not be large, but will continue analysis in this area.

-

-      Previously, some cases of decryption with an incorrect key could report

-      error reports can aid attackers in recovering keys from other systems.
-      While it's unknown whether <filename>pgcrypto</filename>'s specific behaviors
-      are likewise exploitable, it seems better to avoid the risk by using a
-      one-size-fits-all message.

-      Fix incorrect declaration of <filename>contrib/citext</filename>'s

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      These functions should return <type>setof text[]</type>, like the core
-      functions they are wrappers for; but they were incorrectly declared as
-      returning just <type>text[]</type>.  This mistake had two results: first,
-      if there was no match you got a scalar null result, whereas what you
-      should get is an empty set (zero rows).  Second, the <literal>g</literal> flag
-      was effectively ignored, since you would get only one result array even
-      if there were multiple matches.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      While the latter behavior is clearly a bug, there might be applications
-      depending on the former behavior; therefore the function declarations
-      will not be changed by default until <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 9.5.
-      In pre-9.5 branches, the old behavior exists in version 1.0 of
-      the <literal>citext</literal> extension, while we have provided corrected
-      declarations in version 1.1 (which is <emphasis>not</emphasis> installed by
-      default).  To adopt the fix in pre-9.5 branches, execute
-      <literal>ALTER EXTENSION citext UPDATE TO '1.1'</literal> in each database in
-      which <literal>citext</literal> is installed.  (You can also <quote>update</quote>
-      back to 1.0 if you need to undo that.)  Be aware that either update
-      direction will require dropping and recreating any views or rules that
-      use <filename>citext</filename>'s <function>regexp_matches()</function> functions.

-
-     <para>
-      When sending large volumes of data, it's important to drain the input
-      buffer every so often, in case the server has sent enough response data
-      to cause it to block on output.  (A typical scenario is that the server
-      is sending a stream of NOTICE messages during <literal>COPY FROM
-      STDIN</literal>.)  This worked properly in the normal blocking mode, but not
-      so much in non-blocking mode.  We've modified <application>libpq</application>
-      to opportunistically drain input when it can, but a full defense
-      against this problem requires application cooperation: the application
-      should watch for socket read-ready as well as write-ready conditions,
-      and be sure to call <function>PQconsumeInput()</function> upon read-ready.

-
-     <para>
-      <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> includes a replacement implementation

-      <literal>g</literal> or <literal>G</literal>) with requested precision greater than
-      about 500.  This will crash the server, and we have not ruled out the
-      possibility of attacks that lead to privilege escalation.
-      A database user can trigger such a buffer overrun through
-      the <function>to_char()</function> SQL function.  While that is the only
-      affected core <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> functionality, extension

-      Fix possible loss of frontend/backend protocol synchronization after
-      an error
-      (Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If any error occurred while the server was in the middle of reading a
-      protocol message from the client, it could lose synchronization and
-      incorrectly try to interpret part of the message's data as a new
-      protocol message.  An attacker able to submit crafted binary data
-      within a command parameter might succeed in injecting his own SQL
-      commands this way.  Statement timeout and query cancellation are the
-      most likely sources of errors triggering this scenario.  Particularly
-      vulnerable are applications that use a timeout and also submit
-      arbitrary user-crafted data as binary query parameters.  Disabling
-      statement timeout will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of
-      exploit.  Our thanks to Emil Lenngren for reporting this issue.

-      A <type>numeric</type> value's display scale (<literal>dscale</literal>) should

-      This leads to strange behavior since the extra digits are taken into

-      The least risky fix seems to be to truncate away such <quote>hidden</quote>

-     <para>
-      Even when autovacuum is nominally off, we will still launch autovacuum
-      worker processes to vacuum tables that are at risk of XID wraparound.
-      However, such a worker process then proceeded to vacuum all tables in

-      autovacuuming.  This is at best pretty unexpected; at worst it delays
-      response to the wraparound threat.  Fix it so that if autovacuum is
-      turned off, workers <emphasis>only</emphasis> do anti-wraparound vacuums and

-      Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the

-      Prevent privilege escalation via manual calls to PL validator
-      functions (Andres Freund)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The primary role of PL validator functions is to be called implicitly
-      during <command>CREATE FUNCTION</command>, but they are also normal SQL
-      functions that a user can call explicitly.  Calling a validator on
-      a function actually written in some other language was not checked
-      for and could be exploited for privilege-escalation purposes.
-      The fix involves adding a call to a privilege-checking function in
-      each validator function.  Non-core procedural languages will also
-      need to make this change to their own validator functions, if any.

-      If the name lookups come to different conclusions due to concurrent

-      data loss is fairly low since multiple incorrect advancements would
-      need to happen before actual loss occurs, but it's not zero.  In 9.2.0
-      and later, the probability of loss is higher, and it's also possible
-      to get <quote>could not access status of transaction</quote> errors as a
-      consequence of this bug.  Users upgrading from releases 9.0.4 or 8.4.8

-      The issue can be ameliorated by, after upgrading, vacuuming all tables
-      in all databases while having <link
-      linkend="guc-vacuum-freeze-table-age"><varname>vacuum_freeze_table_age</varname></link>
-      set to zero.  This will fix any latent corruption but will not be able
-      to fix all pre-existing data errors.  However, an installation can be
-      presumed safe after performing this vacuuming if it has executed fewer
-      than 2^31 update transactions in its lifetime (check this with
-      <literal>SELECT txid_current() &lt; 2^31</literal>).

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This bug can cause data loss on standby servers at the moment they
-      start to accept hot-standby queries, by marking committed transactions
-      as uncommitted. The likelihood of such corruption is small unless, at
-      the time of standby startup, the primary server has executed many
-      updating transactions since its last checkpoint.  Symptoms include
-      missing rows, rows that should have been deleted being still visible,
-      and obsolete versions of updated rows being still visible alongside
-      their newer versions.

-      at risk.  It's recommended that standby servers that have ever run any
-      of the buggy releases be re-cloned from the primary (e.g., with a new
-      base backup) after upgrading.

-

-      Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
-      lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
-      when there are conflicting lock requests.  Under load, it is easily
-      possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
-      Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
-      attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue.  This fix also greatly
-      reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
-      conflicting request arrives.

-      Fix multiple bugs associated with <command>CREATE/DROP INDEX
-      CONCURRENTLY</command> (Andres Freund, Tom Lane, Simon Riggs, Pavan Deolasee)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      An error introduced while adding <command>DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command>
-      allowed incorrect indexing decisions to be made during the initial
-      phase of <command>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command>; so that indexes built
-      by that command could be corrupt.  It is recommended that indexes
-      built in 9.2.X with <command>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> be rebuilt
-      after applying this update.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      In addition, fix <command>CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> to use
-      in-place updates when changing the state of an index's
-      <structname>pg_index</structname> row.  This prevents race conditions that could
-      cause concurrent sessions to miss updating the target index, thus
-      again resulting in corrupt concurrently-created indexes.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Also, fix various other operations to ensure that they ignore
-      invalid indexes resulting from a failed <command>CREATE INDEX
-      CONCURRENTLY</command> command.  The most important of these is
-      <command>VACUUM</command>, because an auto-vacuum could easily be launched
-      on the table before corrective action can be taken to fix or remove
-      the invalid index.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Also fix <command>DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> to not disable
-      insertions into the target index until all queries using it are done.

-
-     <para>
-      Also fix misbehavior if <command>DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> is

-      Revert patch for taking fewer snapshots (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The 9.2 change to reduce the number of snapshots taken during query
-      execution led to some anomalous behaviors not seen in previous
-      releases, because execution would proceed with a snapshot acquired
-      before locking the tables used by the query.  Thus, for example,
-      a query would not be guaranteed to see updates committed by a
-      preceding transaction even if that transaction had exclusive lock.
-      We'll probably revisit this in future releases, but meanwhile put it
-      back the way it was before 9.2.

-      In very unusual circumstances, this oversight could result in passing

-      Fix persistence marking of shared buffers during WAL replay
-      (Jeff Davis)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This mistake can result in buffers not being written out during
-      checkpoints, resulting in data corruption if the server later crashes
-      without ever having written those buffers.  Corruption can occur on
-      any server following crash recovery, but it is significantly more
-      likely to occur on standby slave servers since those perform much
-      more WAL replay.  There is a low probability of corruption of btree
-      and GIN indexes.  There is a much higher probability of corruption
-      of table <quote>visibility maps</quote>, which might lead to wrong answers
-      from index-only scans.  Table data proper cannot be corrupted by this
-      bug.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      While no index corruption due to this bug is known to have occurred
-      in the field, as a precautionary measure it is recommended that

-      indexes at a convenient time after upgrading to 9.2.1.

-        This field was duplicative of the symbolic links that actually define

-        while the server is down, by manually adjusting the symbolic links.
-        To replace this field, we have added <link

-        to allow querying of the symbolic links.

-        Allow the planner to generate custom plans for specific parameter

-
-       <para>
-        In the past, a prepared statement always had a single
-        <quote>generic</quote> plan that was used for all parameter values, which
-        was frequently much inferior to the plans used for non-prepared
-        statements containing explicit constant values.  Now, the planner
-        attempts to generate custom plans for specific parameter values.
-        A generic plan will only be used after custom plans have repeatedly
-        proven to provide no benefit.  This change should eliminate the
-        performance penalties formerly seen from use of prepared statements
-        (including non-dynamic statements in PL/pgSQL).

-      Allow btree comparison functions to return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>
-      (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Up to now, we've forbidden datatype-specific comparison functions from
-      returning <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, which allows callers to invert
-      the sort order just by negating the comparison result.  However, this
-      was never safe for comparison functions that directly return the
-      result of <function>memcmp()</function>, <function>strcmp()</function>,
-      etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction on those functions.
-      At least some recent versions of <function>memcmp()</function> can
-      return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, causing incorrect sort ordering.
-      Hence, we've removed this restriction.  Callers must now use
-      the <literal>INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT()</literal> macro if they wish to
-      invert the sort order.

-     <para>
-      An unprivileged user of <filename>dblink</filename>

-      a <filename>~/.pgpass</filename> file owned by the operating-system

-      as SQL injection into a <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> session
-      are also possible.
-      Attacking <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> in this way requires the

-      could exploit the problem.

-      could cause mischief, though other plausible attack scenarios are

-      Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions
-      (Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The functions
-      <function>query_to_xml</function>,
-      <function>cursor_to_xml</function>,
-      <function>cursor_to_xmlschema</function>,
-      <function>query_to_xmlschema</function>, and
-      <function>query_to_xml_and_xmlschema</function>
-      should be marked volatile because they execute user-supplied queries
-      that might contain volatile operations.  They were not, leading to a
-      risk of incorrect query optimization.  This has been repaired for new
-      installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
-      installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
-      Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in
-      case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
-      functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries, for example
-      <literal>ALTER FUNCTION pg_catalog.query_to_xml(text, boolean,
-      boolean, text) VOLATILE</literal>.  (Note that that will need to be
-      done in each database of the installation.)  Another option is
-      to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a version
-      containing the corrected initial data.

-      Avoid re-using TOAST value OIDs that match dead-but-not-yet-vacuumed

-     <para>
-      Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
-      TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
-      TOAST table.  If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
-      in <quote>unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
-      value <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote> errors, which would
-      persist until the dead entry was removed
-      by <command>VACUUM</command>.  Fix by not selecting such OIDs when

-      Change <command>ANALYZE</command>'s algorithm for updating

-      (David Gould)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
-      were assumed to retain their old tuple density.  In a large table
-      where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
-      pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
-      change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
-      change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
-      (<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
-      happening in the table.  This has been observed to result
-      in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
-      reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming.  To fix, assume
-      that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
-      sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
-      density observed within those pages to the whole table.

-      Document how to configure installations and applications to guard

-
-     <para>
-      Using a <varname>search_path</varname> setting that includes any

-      queries that are proof against such hijacking, it is notationally
-      tedious, and it's very easy to overlook holes.  Therefore, we now
-      recommend configurations in which no untrusted schemas appear in
-      one's search path.  Relevant documentation appears in

-      Ensure that all temporary files made
-      by <application>pg_upgrade</application> are non-world-readable
-      (Tom Lane, Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      <application>pg_upgrade</application> normally restricts its
-      temporary files to be readable and writable only by the calling user.
-      But the temporary file containing <literal>pg_dumpall -g</literal>
-      output would be group- or world-readable, or even writable, if the
-      user's <literal>umask</literal> setting allows.  In typical usage on
-      multi-user machines, the <literal>umask</literal> and/or the working
-      directory's permissions would be tight enough to prevent problems;
-      but there may be people using <application>pg_upgrade</application>
-      in scenarios where this oversight would permit disclosure of database
-      passwords to unfriendly eyes.

-
-     <para>
-      We always store XML strings in the database encoding, so allowing

-

-      Up to now, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> servers simply
-      rejected requests to use protocol versions newer than 3.0, so that
-      there was no functional difference between the major and minor parts
-      of the protocol version number.  Allow clients to request versions 3.x
-      without failing, sending back a message showing that the server only
-      understands 3.0.  This makes no difference at the moment, but
-      back-patching this change should allow speedier introduction of future
-      minor protocol upgrades.

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      These functions are stated to
-      be <trademark class="registered">Oracle</trademark> compatible, but
-      they weren't exactly.  In particular, there was a discrepancy in the
-      interpretation of a negative third parameter: Oracle thinks that a
-      negative value indicates the last place where the target substring can
-      begin, whereas our functions took it as the last place where the
-      target can end.  Also, Oracle throws an error for a zero or negative
-      fourth parameter, whereas our functions returned zero.

-      Fix <application>pg_dump</application> to make ACL (permissions),

-      output formats (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The <quote>tag</quote> portion of an ACL archive entry was usually
-      just the name of the associated object.  Make it start with the object
-      type instead, bringing ACLs into line with the convention already used
-      for comment and security label archive entries.  Also, fix the
-      comment and security label entries for the whole database, if present,
-      to make their tags start with <literal>DATABASE</literal> so that they
-      also follow this convention.  This prevents false matches in code that
-      tries to identify large-object-related entries by seeing if the tag
-      starts with <literal>LARGE OBJECT</literal>.  That could have resulted
-      in misclassifying entries as data rather than schema, with undesirable
-      results in a schema-only or data-only dump.

-      Disallow empty passwords in all password-based authentication methods
-      (Heikki Linnakangas)

-      <application>libpq</application> ignores empty password specifications, and does

-      via <application>psql</application> or other <application>libpq</application>-based
-      clients.  An administrator might therefore believe that setting the
-      password to empty is equivalent to disabling password login.
-      However, with a modified or non-<application>libpq</application>-based client,
-      logging in could be possible, depending on which authentication
-      method is configured.  In particular the most common

-      Prevent exposure of statistical information via leaky operators
-      (Peter Eisentraut)

-     <para>
-      Some selectivity estimation functions in the planner will apply
-      user-defined operators to values obtained
-      from <structname>pg_statistic</structname>, such as most common values and
-      histogram entries.  This occurs before table permissions are checked,
-      so a nefarious user could exploit the behavior to obtain these values
-      for table columns he does not have permission to read.  To fix,
-      fall back to a default estimate if the operator's implementation
-      function is not certified leak-proof and the calling user does not have
-      permission to read the table column whose statistics are needed.
-      At least one of these criteria is satisfied in most cases in practice.

-      Use correct daylight-savings rules for POSIX-style time zone names

-
-     <para>
-      The Microsoft MSVC build scripts neglected to install
-      the <filename>posixrules</filename> file in the timezone directory tree.
-      This resulted in the timezone code falling back to its built-in
-      rule about what DST behavior to assume for a POSIX-style time zone
-      name.  For historical reasons that still corresponds to the DST rules
-      the USA was using before 2007 (i.e., change on first Sunday in April
-      and last Sunday in October).  With this fix, a POSIX-style zone name
-      will use the current and historical DST transition dates of
-      the <literal>US/Eastern</literal> zone.  If you don't want that, remove
-      the <filename>posixrules</filename> file, or replace it with a copy of some
-      other zone file (see <xref linkend="datatype-timezones"/>).  Note that
-      due to caching, you may need to restart the server to get such changes

-      Check for serializability conflicts before reporting

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      When using serializable transaction isolation, it is desirable
-      that any error due to concurrent transactions should manifest
-      as a serialization failure, thereby cueing the application that
-      a retry might succeed.  Unfortunately, this does not reliably
-      happen for duplicate-key failures caused by concurrent insertions.
-      This change ensures that such an error will be reported as a
-      serialization error if the application explicitly checked for
-      the presence of a conflicting key (and did not find it) earlier
-      in the transaction.

-      Fix possible failure to recover from an inconsistent database state
-      (Robert Haas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Recent <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> releases introduced mechanisms to
-      protect against multixact wraparound, but some of that code did not
-      account for the possibility that it would need to run during crash
-      recovery, when the database may not be in a consistent state.  This
-      could result in failure to restart after a crash, or failure to start
-      up a secondary server.  The lingering effects of a previously-fixed
-      bug in <application>pg_upgrade</application> could also cause such a failure, in
-      installations that had used <application>pg_upgrade</application> versions
-      between 9.3.0 and 9.3.4.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The <application>pg_upgrade</application> bug in question was that it would

-      if the true value should be higher.  With the fixes introduced in
-      this release, such a situation will result in immediate emergency
-      autovacuuming until a correct <literal>oldestMultiXid</literal> value can be
-      determined.  If that would pose a hardship, users can avoid it by

-      This type of plan is quite cheap when all the join clauses are used

-      Avoid failures while <function>fsync</function>'ing data directory during

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      In the previous minor releases we added a patch to <function>fsync</function>
-      everything in the data directory after a crash.  Unfortunately its
-      response to any error condition was to fail, thereby preventing the
-      server from starting up, even when the problem was quite harmless.
-      An example is that an unwritable file in the data directory would
-      prevent restart on some platforms; but it is common to make SSL
-      certificate files unwritable by the server.  Revise this behavior so
-      that permissions failures are ignored altogether, and other types of

-      Allow <application>libpq</application> to use TLS protocol versions beyond v1
-      (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      For a long time, <application>libpq</application> was coded so that the only SSL
-      protocol it would allow was TLS v1.  Now that newer TLS versions are
-      becoming popular, allow it to negotiate the highest commonly-supported
-      TLS version with the server.  (<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> servers were
-      already capable of such negotiation, so no change is needed on the
-      server side.)  This is a back-patch of a change already released in
-      9.4.0.

-      Avoid possible crash when client disconnects just before the
-      authentication timeout expires (Benkocs Norbert Attila)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If the timeout interrupt fired partway through the session shutdown
-      sequence, SSL-related state would be freed twice, typically causing a
-      crash and hence denial of service to other sessions.  Experimentation
-      shows that an unauthenticated remote attacker could trigger the bug
-      somewhat consistently, hence treat as security issue.

-     <para>
-      Our replacement implementation of <function>snprintf()</function> failed to
-      check for errors reported by the underlying system library calls;
-      the main case that might be missed is out-of-memory situations.
-      In the worst case this might lead to information exposure, due to our
-      code assuming that a buffer had been overwritten when it hadn't been.
-      Also, there were a few places in which security-relevant calls of other
-      system library functions did not check for failure.

-      It remains possible that some calls of the <function>*printf()</function>
-      family of functions are vulnerable to information disclosure if an

-      to not be large, but will continue analysis in this area.

-

-      Previously, some cases of decryption with an incorrect key could report

-      While it's unknown whether <filename>pgcrypto</filename>'s specific behaviors
-      are likewise exploitable, it seems better to avoid the risk by using a
-      one-size-fits-all message.

-      Protect against wraparound of multixact member IDs
-      (&Aacute;lvaro Herrera, Robert Haas, Thomas Munro)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Under certain usage patterns, the existing defenses against this might
-      be insufficient, allowing <filename>pg_multixact/members</filename> files to be
-      removed too early, resulting in data loss.
-      The fix for this includes modifying the server to fail transactions
-      that would result in overwriting old multixact member ID data, and
-      improving autovacuum to ensure it will act proactively to prevent
-      multixact member ID wraparound, as it does for transaction ID
-      wraparound.

-      Fix incorrect declaration of <filename>contrib/citext</filename>'s
-      <function>regexp_matches()</function> functions (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      These functions should return <type>setof text[]</type>, like the core
-      functions they are wrappers for; but they were incorrectly declared as
-      returning just <type>text[]</type>.  This mistake had two results: first,
-      if there was no match you got a scalar null result, whereas what you
-      should get is an empty set (zero rows).  Second, the <literal>g</literal> flag
-      was effectively ignored, since you would get only one result array even
-      if there were multiple matches.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      While the latter behavior is clearly a bug, there might be applications
-      depending on the former behavior; therefore the function declarations
-      will not be changed by default until <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 9.5.
-      In pre-9.5 branches, the old behavior exists in version 1.0 of
-      the <literal>citext</literal> extension, while we have provided corrected
-      declarations in version 1.1 (which is <emphasis>not</emphasis> installed by
-      default).  To adopt the fix in pre-9.5 branches, execute
-      <literal>ALTER EXTENSION citext UPDATE TO '1.1'</literal> in each database in
-      which <literal>citext</literal> is installed.  (You can also <quote>update</quote>
-      back to 1.0 if you need to undo that.)  Be aware that either update
-      direction will require dropping and recreating any views or rules that
-      use <filename>citext</filename>'s <function>regexp_matches()</function> functions.

-      If a new row that potentially violates a deferred exclusion constraint
-      is HOT-updated (that is, no indexed columns change and the row can be

-      This hack was added in 2003 in response to a report that some Linux

-      9.0.  The lack of any field complaints since then shows that it's not
-      needed anymore.  Now we have reports that the broken code causes
-      crashes on some systems, so let's just remove it rather than fix it.
-      (Had we chosen to fix it, that would make for a subtle and potentially
-      security-sensitive change in the effective meaning of
-      IPv4 <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> entries, which does not seem like a good

-
-     <para>
-      When sending large volumes of data, it's important to drain the input
-      buffer every so often, in case the server has sent enough response data
-      to cause it to block on output.  (A typical scenario is that the server
-      is sending a stream of NOTICE messages during <literal>COPY FROM
-      STDIN</literal>.)  This worked properly in the normal blocking mode, but not
-      so much in non-blocking mode.  We've modified <application>libpq</application>
-      to opportunistically drain input when it can, but a full defense
-      against this problem requires application cooperation: the application
-      should watch for socket read-ready as well as write-ready conditions,
-      and be sure to call <function>PQconsumeInput()</function> upon read-ready.

-
-     <para>
-      <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> includes a replacement implementation

-      a stack buffer when formatting a floating point number (conversion

-      <literal>g</literal> or <literal>G</literal>) with requested precision greater than
-      about 500.  This will crash the server, and we have not ruled out the
-      possibility of attacks that lead to privilege escalation.
-      A database user can trigger such a buffer overrun through
-      the <function>to_char()</function> SQL function.  While that is the only

-      Fix possible loss of frontend/backend protocol synchronization after
-      an error
-      (Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If any error occurred while the server was in the middle of reading a
-      protocol message from the client, it could lose synchronization and
-      incorrectly try to interpret part of the message's data as a new
-      protocol message.  An attacker able to submit crafted binary data
-      within a command parameter might succeed in injecting his own SQL
-      commands this way.  Statement timeout and query cancellation are the
-      most likely sources of errors triggering this scenario.  Particularly
-      vulnerable are applications that use a timeout and also submit
-      arbitrary user-crafted data as binary query parameters.  Disabling
-      statement timeout will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of
-      exploit.  Our thanks to Emil Lenngren for reporting this issue.

-     <para>
-      Some server error messages show the values of columns that violate

-      The previous behavior resulted in basically ignoring these per-table
-      settings, which was unintended.  Now, a table having such settings
-      will be vacuumed using those settings, independently of what is going
-      on in other autovacuum workers.  This may result in heavier total I/O
-      load than before, so such settings should be re-examined for sanity.

-
-     <para>
-      Even when autovacuum is nominally off, we will still launch autovacuum
-      worker processes to vacuum tables that are at risk of XID wraparound.
-      However, such a worker process then proceeded to vacuum all tables in
-      the target database, if they met the usual thresholds for
-      autovacuuming.  This is at best pretty unexpected; at worst it delays
-      response to the wraparound threat.  Fix it so that if autovacuum is
-      turned off, workers <emphasis>only</emphasis> do anti-wraparound vacuums and
-      not any other work.

-      Update the zone abbreviation definition files to make use of this
-      feature in timezone locales that have changed the UTC offset of their
-      abbreviations since 1970 (according to the IANA timezone database).
-      In such timezones, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> will now associate the
-      correct UTC offset with the abbreviation depending on the given date.

-      If you used a pre-9.3.5 version of <application>pg_upgrade</application> to

-      <emphasis>However, in common cases this file is actually valid and

-      To determine whether your installation has this problem, run this
-      query as superuser, in any database of the cluster:
-<programlisting>
-WITH list(file) AS (SELECT * FROM pg_ls_dir('pg_multixact/offsets'))

-      If this query returns <literal>t</literal>, manually remove the file

-      Reduce indentation in rule/view dumps to improve readability and avoid
-      excessive whitespace (Greg Stark, Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This change reduces the amount of indentation applied to nested
-      constructs, including some cases that the user probably doesn't think
-      of as nested, such as UNION lists.  Previously, deeply nested
-      constructs were printed with an amount of whitespace growing as
-      O(N^2), which created a performance problem and even risk of
-      out-of-memory failures.  Now the indentation is reduced modulo 40,

-      Secure Unix-domain sockets of temporary postmasters started during
-      <literal>make check</literal> (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the
-      server's bootstrap superuser, then proceed to execute arbitrary code as
-      the operating-system user running the test, as we previously noted in
-      CVE-2014-0067.  This change defends against that risk by placing the
-      server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory
-      of <filename>/tmp</filename>.  The hazard remains however on platforms where
-      Unix sockets are not supported, notably Windows, because then the
-      temporary postmaster must accept local TCP connections.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      A useful side effect of this change is to simplify
-      <literal>make check</literal> testing in builds that
-      override <literal>DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR</literal>.  Popular non-default values
-      like <filename>/var/run/postgresql</filename> are often not writable by the
-      build user, requiring workarounds that will no longer be necessary.

-      Fix WAL replay of locking an already-updated tuple (Andres Freund,

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This error caused updated rows to not be found by index scans, resulting
-      in inconsistent query results depending on whether an index scan was
-      used.  Subsequent processing could result in constraint violations,
-      since the previously updated row would not be found by later index
-      searches, thus possibly allowing conflicting rows to be inserted.
-      Since this error is in WAL replay, it would only manifest during crash
-      recovery or on standby servers.  The improperly-replayed case most
-      commonly arises when a table row that is referenced by a foreign-key
-      constraint is updated concurrently with creation of a referencing row.

-      Granting a role without <literal>ADMIN OPTION</literal> is supposed to

-      Unapproved role member additions are a lesser concern, since an

-      Prevent privilege escalation via manual calls to PL validator

-
-     <para>
-      The primary role of PL validator functions is to be called implicitly
-      during <command>CREATE FUNCTION</command>, but they are also normal SQL
-      functions that a user can call explicitly.  Calling a validator on
-      a function actually written in some other language was not checked
-      for and could be exploited for privilege-escalation purposes.
-      The fix involves adding a call to a privilege-checking function in
-      each validator function.  Non-core procedural languages will also
-      need to make this change to their own validator functions, if any.

-      9.3 requires multixact tuple labels to be frozen before
-      they grow too old, in the same fashion as plain transaction ID labels
-      have been frozen for some time.  Previously, the transaction ID
-      freezing parameters were used for multixact IDs too; but since
-      the consumption rates of transaction IDs and multixact IDs can be
-      quite different, this did not work very well.  Introduce new settings
-      <xref linkend="guc-vacuum-multixact-freeze-min-age"/>,
-      <xref linkend="guc-vacuum-multixact-freeze-table-age"/>, and
-      <xref linkend="guc-autovacuum-multixact-freeze-max-age"/>
-      to control when to freeze multixacts.

-     <para>
-      If a row was locked by transaction A, and transaction B updated it,
-      the new version of the row created by B would be locked by A, yet
-      visible only to B.  If transaction B then again updated the row, A's
-      lock wouldn't get checked, thus possibly allowing B to complete when
-      it shouldn't.  This case is new in 9.3 since prior versions did not
-      have any types of row locking that would permit another transaction
-      to update the row at all.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This oversight could allow referential integrity checks to give false
-      positives (for instance, allow deletes that should have been rejected).
-      Applications using the new commands <literal>SELECT FOR KEY SHARE</literal>
-      and <literal>SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE</literal> might also have suffered
-      locking failures of this kind.

-      Fix <command>VACUUM</command>'s tests to see whether it can

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      In some cases <command>VACUUM</command> (either manual or autovacuum) could
-      incorrectly advance a table's <structfield>relfrozenxid</structfield> value,
-      allowing tuples to escape freezing, causing those rows to become
-      invisible once 2^31 transactions have elapsed.  The probability of
-      data loss is fairly low since multiple incorrect advancements would
-      need to happen before actual loss occurs, but it's not zero.  In 9.2.0
-      and later, the probability of loss is higher, and it's also possible
-      to get <quote>could not access status of transaction</quote> errors as a
-      consequence of this bug.  Users upgrading from releases 9.0.4 or 8.4.8
-      or earlier are not affected, but all later versions contain the bug.
-     </para>

-      set to zero.  This will fix any latent corruption but will not be able
-      to fix all pre-existing data errors.  However, an installation can be
-      presumed safe after performing this vacuuming if it has executed fewer
-      than 2^31 update transactions in its lifetime (check this with
-      <literal>SELECT txid_current() &lt; 2^31</literal>).

-      As a separate issue, these bugs can also cause standby servers to get

-
-     <para>
-      This bug can cause data loss on standby servers at the moment they
-      start to accept hot-standby queries, by marking committed transactions
-      as uncommitted. The likelihood of such corruption is small unless, at
-      the time of standby startup, the primary server has executed many
-      updating transactions since its last checkpoint.  Symptoms include
-      missing rows, rows that should have been deleted being still visible,

-      their newer versions.

-        Throw an error if a tuple to be updated or deleted has already been

-       </para>
-
-       <para>
-        Formerly, the originally-intended update was silently skipped,
-        resulting in logical inconsistency since the trigger might have
-        propagated data to other places based on the intended update.
-        Now an error is thrown to prevent the inconsistent results from being
-        committed.  If this change affects your application, the best solution
-        is usually to move the data-propagation actions to
-        an <literal>AFTER</literal> trigger.

-        This change improves concurrency and reduces the probability of
-        deadlocks when updating tables involved in a foreign-key constraint.
-        <command>UPDATE</command>s that do not change any columns referenced in a
-        foreign key now take the new <literal>NO KEY UPDATE</literal> lock mode on
-        the row, while foreign key checks use the new <literal>KEY SHARE</literal>
-        lock mode, which does not conflict with <literal>NO KEY UPDATE</literal>.
-        So there is no blocking unless a foreign-key column is changed.

-      Allow btree comparison functions to return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>
-      (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Up to now, we've forbidden datatype-specific comparison functions from
-      returning <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, which allows callers to invert
-      the sort order just by negating the comparison result.  However, this
-      was never safe for comparison functions that directly return the
-      result of <function>memcmp()</function>, <function>strcmp()</function>,
-      etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction on those functions.
-      At least some recent versions of <function>memcmp()</function> can
-      return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, causing incorrect sort ordering.
-      Hence, we've removed this restriction.  Callers must now use
-      the <literal>INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT()</literal> macro if they wish to
-      invert the sort order.

-      Invent new union types <type>PGAlignedBlock</type>

-      Fix failure to reset <application>libpq</application>'s state fully

-
-     <para>
-      An unprivileged user of <filename>dblink</filename>
-      or <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> could bypass the checks intended
-      to prevent use of server-side credentials, such as
-      a <filename>~/.pgpass</filename> file owned by the operating-system
-      user running the server.  Servers allowing peer authentication on
-      local connections are particularly vulnerable.  Other attacks such
-      as SQL injection into a <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> session
-      are also possible.
-      Attacking <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> in this way requires the
-      ability to create a foreign server object with selected connection
-      parameters, but any user with access to <filename>dblink</filename>
-      could exploit the problem.
-      In general, an attacker with the ability to select the connection
-      parameters for a <application>libpq</application>-using application
-      could cause mischief, though other plausible attack scenarios are
-      harder to think of.

-      Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions

-      <function>query_to_xmlschema</function>, and

-      should be marked volatile because they execute user-supplied queries
-      that might contain volatile operations.  They were not, leading to a
-      risk of incorrect query optimization.  This has been repaired for new
-      installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
-      installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
-      Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in

-      (David Gould)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
-      were assumed to retain their old tuple density.  In a large table
-      where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
-      pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not

-      change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
-      (<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
-      happening in the table.  This has been observed to result
-      in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
-      reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming.  To fix, assume
-      that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
-      sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
-      density observed within those pages to the whole table.

-      Document how to configure installations and applications to guard

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Using a <varname>search_path</varname> setting that includes any
-      schemas writable by a hostile user enables that user to capture

-      permissions of the attacked user.  While it is possible to write
-      queries that are proof against such hijacking, it is notationally
-      tedious, and it's very easy to overlook holes.  Therefore, we now
-      recommend configurations in which no untrusted schemas appear in
-      one's search path.  Relevant documentation appears in

-
-     <para>
-      These functions are stated to
-      be <trademark class="registered">Oracle</trademark> compatible, but
-      they weren't exactly.  In particular, there was a discrepancy in the
-      interpretation of a negative third parameter: Oracle thinks that a
-      negative value indicates the last place where the target substring can
-      begin, whereas our functions took it as the last place where the
-      target can end.  Also, Oracle throws an error for a zero or negative
-      fourth parameter, whereas our functions returned zero.

-      Fix <application>pg_dump</application> to make ACL (permissions),

-      output formats (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The <quote>tag</quote> portion of an ACL archive entry was usually
-      just the name of the associated object.  Make it start with the object
-      type instead, bringing ACLs into line with the convention already used
-      for comment and security label archive entries.  Also, fix the
-      comment and security label entries for the whole database, if present,
-      to make their tags start with <literal>DATABASE</literal> so that they
-      also follow this convention.  This prevents false matches in code that
-      tries to identify large-object-related entries by seeing if the tag
-      starts with <literal>LARGE OBJECT</literal>.  That could have resulted
-      in misclassifying entries as data rather than schema, with undesirable
-      results in a schema-only or data-only dump.

-      Previously, the postmaster log file was opened while still running as

-      logging in could be possible, depending on which authentication

-      Prevent exposure of statistical information via leaky operators

-      Some selectivity estimation functions in the planner will apply

-      from <structname>pg_statistic</structname>, such as most common values and
-      histogram entries.  This occurs before table permissions are checked,

-      for table columns he does not have permission to read.  To fix,
-      fall back to a default estimate if the operator's implementation
-      function is not certified leak-proof and the calling user does not have
-      permission to read the table column whose statistics are needed.
-      At least one of these criteria is satisfied in most cases in practice.

-      The initial snapshot created for a logical decoding replication slot

-      Use correct daylight-savings rules for POSIX-style time zone names

-      The Microsoft MSVC build scripts neglected to install

-      name.  For historical reasons that still corresponds to the DST rules
-      the USA was using before 2007 (i.e., change on first Sunday in April
-      and last Sunday in October).  With this fix, a POSIX-style zone name

-      Fix a race condition that could cause indexes built

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If <command>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command> was used to build an index
-      that depends on a column not previously indexed, then rows
-      updated by transactions that ran concurrently with
-      the <command>CREATE INDEX</command> command could have received incorrect
-      index entries.  If you suspect this may have happened, the most
-      reliable solution is to rebuild affected indexes after installing
-      this update.

-      Check for serializability conflicts before reporting
-      constraint-violation failures (Thomas Munro)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      When using serializable transaction isolation, it is desirable
-      that any error due to concurrent transactions should manifest
-      as a serialization failure, thereby cueing the application that
-      a retry might succeed.  Unfortunately, this does not reliably
-      happen for duplicate-key failures caused by concurrent insertions.
-      This change ensures that such an error will be reported as a
-      serialization error if the application explicitly checked for
-      the presence of a conflicting key (and did not find it) earlier
-      in the transaction.

-      Clear the OpenSSL error queue before OpenSSL calls, rather than

-      SSL connections using the PHP, Python, or Ruby wrappers for OpenSSL.
-      It's possible for similar problems to arise within the server as well,

-      Fix inconsistent hash calculations in <literal>jsonb_path_ops</literal> GIN

-
-     <para>
-      When processing <type>jsonb</type> values that contain both scalars and
-      sub-objects at the same nesting level, for example an array containing
-      both scalars and sub-arrays, key hash values could be calculated
-      differently than they would be for the same key in a different context.
-      This could result in queries not finding entries that they should find.
-      Fixing this means that existing indexes may now be inconsistent with the
-      new hash calculation code.  Users
-      should <command>REINDEX</command> <literal>jsonb_path_ops</literal> GIN indexes after
-      installing this update to make sure that all searches work as expected.

-      Perform an immediate shutdown if the <filename>postmaster.pid</filename> file

-      The postmaster now checks every minute or so

-      DBA forcibly removes <filename>postmaster.pid</filename> and then starts a new

-      Lookahead constraints aren't allowed to contain backrefs, and

-      In <application>pg_dump</application> and <application>pg_basebackup</application>, adopt

-      (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The POSIX standard for <literal>tar</literal> file format does not allow
-      archive member files to exceed 8GB, but most modern implementations
-      of <application>tar</application> support an extension that fixes that.  Adopt
-      this extension so that <application>pg_dump</application> with <option>-Ft</option> no
-      longer fails on tables with more than 8GB of data, and so
-      that <application>pg_basebackup</application> can handle files larger than 8GB.
-      In addition, fix some portability issues that could cause failures for
-      members between 4GB and 8GB on some platforms.  Potentially these
-      problems could cause unrecoverable data loss due to unreadable backup
-      files.

-      These mistakes could lead to incorrect query plans that would give wrong

-      Fix possible failure to recover from an inconsistent database state
-      (Robert Haas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Recent <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> releases introduced mechanisms to
-      protect against multixact wraparound, but some of that code did not
-      account for the possibility that it would need to run during crash
-      recovery, when the database may not be in a consistent state.  This
-      could result in failure to restart after a crash, or failure to start
-      up a secondary server.  The lingering effects of a previously-fixed
-      bug in <application>pg_upgrade</application> could also cause such a failure, in
-      installations that had used <application>pg_upgrade</application> versions
-      between 9.3.0 and 9.3.4.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The <application>pg_upgrade</application> bug in question was that it would
-      set <literal>oldestMultiXid</literal> to 1 in <filename>pg_control</filename> even
-      if the true value should be higher.  With the fixes introduced in
-      this release, such a situation will result in immediate emergency
-      autovacuuming until a correct <literal>oldestMultiXid</literal> value can
-      be determined.  If that would pose a hardship, users can avoid it by
-      doing manual vacuuming <emphasis>before</emphasis> upgrading to this release.

-      This type of plan is quite cheap when all the join clauses are used

-      row.  The planner only partially accounted for that effect, and would

-      Avoid failures while <function>fsync</function>'ing data directory during

-
-     <para>
-      In the previous minor releases we added a patch to <function>fsync</function>
-      everything in the data directory after a crash.  Unfortunately its
-      response to any error condition was to fail, thereby preventing the
-      server from starting up, even when the problem was quite harmless.
-      An example is that an unwritable file in the data directory would
-      prevent restart on some platforms; but it is common to make SSL
-      certificate files unwritable by the server.  Revise this behavior so
-      that permissions failures are ignored altogether, and other types of
-      failures are logged but do not prevent continuing.

-      These functions should return <type>setof text[]</type>, like the core

-      should get is an empty set (zero rows).  Second, the <literal>g</literal> flag

-      Remove code for matching IPv4 <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> entries to

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      This hack was added in 2003 in response to a report that some Linux
-      kernels of the time would report IPv4 connections as having
-      IPv4-in-IPv6 addresses.  However, the logic was accidentally broken in
-      9.0.  The lack of any field complaints since then shows that it's not
-      needed anymore.  Now we have reports that the broken code causes
-      crashes on some systems, so let's just remove it rather than fix it.
-      (Had we chosen to fix it, that would make for a subtle and potentially
-      security-sensitive change in the effective meaning of
-      IPv4 <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> entries, which does not seem like a good
-      thing to do in minor releases.)

-      Reduce risk of network deadlock when using <application>libpq</application>'s
-      non-blocking mode (Heikki Linnakangas)

-
-     <para>
-      When sending large volumes of data, it's important to drain the input
-      buffer every so often, in case the server has sent enough response data
-      to cause it to block on output.  (A typical scenario is that the server
-      is sending a stream of NOTICE messages during <literal>COPY FROM
-      STDIN</literal>.)  This worked properly in the normal blocking mode, but not
-      so much in non-blocking mode.  We've modified <application>libpq</application>
-      to opportunistically drain input when it can, but a full defense
-      against this problem requires application cooperation: the application
-      should watch for socket read-ready as well as write-ready conditions,
-      and be sure to call <function>PQconsumeInput()</function> upon read-ready.

-      Fix possible loss of frontend/backend protocol synchronization after
-      an error
-      (Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If any error occurred while the server was in the middle of reading a
-      protocol message from the client, it could lose synchronization and
-      incorrectly try to interpret part of the message's data as a new
-      protocol message.  An attacker able to submit crafted binary data
-      within a command parameter might succeed in injecting his own SQL
-      commands this way.  Statement timeout and query cancellation are the
-      most likely sources of errors triggering this scenario.  Particularly
-      vulnerable are applications that use a timeout and also submit
-      arbitrary user-crafted data as binary query parameters.  Disabling
-      statement timeout will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of
-      exploit.  Our thanks to Emil Lenngren for reporting this issue.

-      Fix <type>jsonb</type> Unicode escape processing, and in consequence
-      disallow <literal>\u0000</literal> (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Previously, the JSON Unicode escape <literal>\u0000</literal> was accepted
-      and was stored as those six characters; but that is indistinguishable
-      from what is stored for the input <literal>\\u0000</literal>, resulting in
-      ambiguity.  Moreover, in cases where de-escaped textual output is
-      expected, such as the <literal>-&gt;&gt;</literal> operator, the sequence was
-      printed as <literal>\u0000</literal>, which does not meet the expectation
-      that JSON escaping would be removed.  (Consistent behavior would
-      require emitting a zero byte, but <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> does not
-      support zero bytes embedded in text strings.)  9.4.0 included an
-      ill-advised attempt to improve this situation by adjusting JSON output
-      conversion rules; but of course that could not fix the fundamental
-      ambiguity, and it turned out to break other usages of Unicode escape
-      sequences.  Revert that, and to avoid the core problem,
-      reject <literal>\u0000</literal> in <type>jsonb</type> input.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If a <type>jsonb</type> column contains a <literal>\u0000</literal> value stored
-      with 9.4.0, it will henceforth read out as though it
-      were <literal>\\u0000</literal>, which is the other valid interpretation of
-      the data stored by 9.4.0 for this case.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      The <type>json</type> type did not have the storage-ambiguity problem, but
-      it did have the problem of inconsistent de-escaped textual output.
-      Therefore <literal>\u0000</literal> will now also be rejected
-      in <type>json</type> values when conversion to de-escaped form is
-      required.  This change does not break the ability to
-      store <literal>\u0000</literal> in <type>json</type> columns so long as no
-      processing is done on the values.  This is exactly parallel to the
-      cases in which non-ASCII Unicode escapes are allowed when the database
-      encoding is not UTF8.

-
-     <para>
-      Previously such values were rendered according to the current

-      require timestamps to be in ISO 8601 format.  If necessary, the

-
-     <para>
-      This is consistent with the notion that this represents zero

-     <para>
-      For example, applying field extraction to a JSON array now yields NULL
-      not an error.  This is more consistent (since some comparable cases such
-      as no-such-field already returned NULL), and it makes it safe to create
-      expression indexes that use these operators, since they will now not
-      throw errors for any valid JSON input.

-      Allow btree comparison functions to return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>
-      (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Up to now, we've forbidden datatype-specific comparison functions from
-      returning <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, which allows callers to invert
-      the sort order just by negating the comparison result.  However, this
-      was never safe for comparison functions that directly return the
-      result of <function>memcmp()</function>, <function>strcmp()</function>,
-      etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction on those functions.
-      At least some recent versions of <function>memcmp()</function> can
-      return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, causing incorrect sort ordering.
-      Hence, we've removed this restriction.  Callers must now use
-      the <literal>INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT()</literal> macro if they wish to
-      invert the sort order.

-      Fix failure to reset <application>libpq</application>'s state fully

-
-     <para>
-      An unprivileged user of <filename>dblink</filename>
-      or <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> could bypass the checks intended
-      to prevent use of server-side credentials, such as
-      a <filename>~/.pgpass</filename> file owned by the operating-system
-      user running the server.  Servers allowing peer authentication on
-      local connections are particularly vulnerable.  Other attacks such
-      as SQL injection into a <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> session
-      are also possible.
-      Attacking <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> in this way requires the
-      ability to create a foreign server object with selected connection
-      parameters, but any user with access to <filename>dblink</filename>
-      could exploit the problem.
-      In general, an attacker with the ability to select the connection
-      parameters for a <application>libpq</application>-using application
-      could cause mischief, though other plausible attack scenarios are
-      harder to think of.
-      Our thanks to Andrew Krasichkov for reporting this issue.

-      installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
-      installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
-      Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in

-
-     <para>
-      Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
-      were assumed to retain their old tuple density.  In a large table

-      change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
-      (<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually

-    However, if you run an installation in which not all users are mutually

-      Document how to configure installations and applications to guard

-      (Noah Misch)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Using a <varname>search_path</varname> setting that includes any
-      schemas writable by a hostile user enables that user to capture
-      control of queries and then run arbitrary SQL code with the
-      permissions of the attacked user.  While it is possible to write
-      queries that are proof against such hijacking, it is notationally
-      tedious, and it's very easy to overlook holes.  Therefore, we now
-      recommend configurations in which no untrusted schemas appear in
-      one's search path.  Relevant documentation appears in
-      <xref linkend="ddl-schemas-patterns"/> (for database administrators and users),

-      themselves vulnerable to the type of hijacking described in the previous

-      In cases where user-provided functions are indirectly executed by

-      Up to now, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> servers simply

-      Avoid unsafe alignment assumptions when working

-      Typically, compilers assume that <type>__int128</type> variables are

-      infrastructure isn't prepared to guarantee that, and increasing the

-      Fix <application>pg_dump</application> to make ACL (permissions),

-     </para>

-      The <quote>tag</quote> portion of an ACL archive entry was usually

-      comment and security label entries for the whole database, if present,
-      to make their tags start with <literal>DATABASE</literal> so that they
-      also follow this convention.  This prevents false matches in code that
-      tries to identify large-object-related entries by seeing if the tag
-      starts with <literal>LARGE OBJECT</literal>.  That could have resulted
-      in misclassifying entries as data rather than schema, with undesirable

-      Disallow empty passwords in all password-based authentication methods

-      <application>libpq</application> ignores empty password specifications, and does

-      password to empty is equivalent to disabling password login.
-      However, with a modified or non-<application>libpq</application>-based client,
-      logging in could be possible, depending on which authentication
-      method is configured.  In particular the most common

-      Prevent exposure of statistical information via leaky operators

-      permission to read the table column whose statistics are needed.

-      The initial snapshot created for a logical decoding replication slot

-      Use correct daylight-savings rules for POSIX-style time zone names

-
-     <para>
-      The Microsoft MSVC build scripts neglected to install

-      This resulted in the timezone code falling back to its built-in
-      rule about what DST behavior to assume for a POSIX-style time zone
-      name.  For historical reasons that still corresponds to the DST rules
-      the USA was using before 2007 (i.e., change on first Sunday in April
-      and last Sunday in October).  With this fix, a POSIX-style zone name
-      will use the current and historical DST transition dates of
-      the <literal>US/Eastern</literal> zone.  If you don't want that, remove
-      the <filename>posixrules</filename> file, or replace it with a copy of some
-      other zone file (see <xref linkend="datatype-timezones"/>).  Note that
-      due to caching, you may need to restart the server to get such changes

-      Check for serializability conflicts before reporting
-      constraint-violation failures (Thomas Munro)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      When using serializable transaction isolation, it is desirable
-      that any error due to concurrent transactions should manifest
-      as a serialization failure, thereby cueing the application that
-      a retry might succeed.  Unfortunately, this does not reliably
-      happen for duplicate-key failures caused by concurrent insertions.
-      This change ensures that such an error will be reported as a
-      serialization error if the application explicitly checked for
-      the presence of a conflicting key (and did not find it) earlier
-      in the transaction.

-      their time zone database, as they did in <application>tzdata</application>
-      release 2016f and seem likely to do again in the future.  The

-      The SQL standard specifies that <literal>IS NULL</literal> should return
-      TRUE for a row of all null values (thus <literal>ROW(NULL,NULL) IS

-      (thus <literal>ROW(NULL, ROW(NULL,NULL)) IS NULL</literal> yields FALSE).
-      The core executor got this right, but certain planner optimizations
-      treated the test as recursive (thus producing TRUE in both cases),
-      and <filename>contrib/postgres_fdw</filename> could produce remote queries

-      Disable abbreviated keys for string sorting in non-<literal>C</literal>
-      locales (Robert Haas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 9.5 introduced logic for speeding up
-      comparisons of string data types by using the standard C library
-      function <function>strxfrm()</function> as a substitute
-      for <function>strcoll()</function>.  It now emerges that most versions of
-      glibc (Linux's implementation of the C library) have buggy
-      implementations of <function>strxfrm()</function> that, in some locales,
-      can produce string comparison results that do not
-      match <function>strcoll()</function>.  Until this problem can be better
-      characterized, disable the optimization in all non-<literal>C</literal>
-      locales.  (<literal>C</literal> locale is safe since it uses
-      neither <function>strcoll()</function> nor <function>strxfrm()</function>.)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Unfortunately, this problem affects not only sorting but also entry
-      ordering in B-tree indexes, which means that B-tree indexes
-      on <type>text</type>, <type>varchar</type>, or <type>char</type> columns may now
-      be corrupt if they sort according to an affected locale and were
-      built or modified under <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 9.5.0 or 9.5.1.
-      Users should <command>REINDEX</command> indexes that might be affected.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It is not possible at this time to give an exhaustive list of
-      known-affected locales.  <literal>C</literal> locale is known safe, and
-      there is no evidence of trouble in English-based locales such
-      as <literal>en_US</literal>, but some other popular locales such
-      as <literal>de_DE</literal> are affected in most glibc versions.

-      Allow btree comparison functions to return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>
-      (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Up to now, we've forbidden datatype-specific comparison functions from
-      returning <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, which allows callers to invert
-      the sort order just by negating the comparison result.  However, this
-      was never safe for comparison functions that directly return the
-      result of <function>memcmp()</function>, <function>strcmp()</function>,
-      etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction on those functions.
-      At least some recent versions of <function>memcmp()</function> can
-      return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, causing incorrect sort ordering.
-      Hence, we've removed this restriction.  Callers must now use
-      the <literal>INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT()</literal> macro if they wish to
-      invert the sort order.

-      An unprivileged user of <filename>dblink</filename>

-      to prevent use of server-side credentials, such as
-      a <filename>~/.pgpass</filename> file owned by the operating-system
-      user running the server.  Servers allowing peer authentication on
-      local connections are particularly vulnerable.  Other attacks such
-      as SQL injection into a <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> session
-      are also possible.
-      Attacking <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> in this way requires the
-      ability to create a foreign server object with selected connection
-      parameters, but any user with access to <filename>dblink</filename>
-      could exploit the problem.
-      In general, an attacker with the ability to select the connection
-      parameters for a <application>libpq</application>-using application
-      could cause mischief, though other plausible attack scenarios are
-      harder to think of.

-      Document how to configure installations and applications to guard

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Using a <varname>search_path</varname> setting that includes any

-      permissions of the attacked user.  While it is possible to write
-      queries that are proof against such hijacking, it is notationally
-      tedious, and it's very easy to overlook holes.  Therefore, we now
-      recommend configurations in which no untrusted schemas appear in
-      one's search path.  Relevant documentation appears in

-      The <quote>tag</quote> portion of an ACL archive entry was usually

-      tries to identify large-object-related entries by seeing if the tag
-      starts with <literal>LARGE OBJECT</literal>.  That could have resulted

-      Disallow empty passwords in all password-based authentication methods
-      (Heikki Linnakangas)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      <application>libpq</application> ignores empty password specifications, and does
-      not transmit them to the server.  So, if a user's password has been
-      set to the empty string, it's impossible to log in with that password
-      via <application>psql</application> or other <application>libpq</application>-based
-      clients.  An administrator might therefore believe that setting the

-      Prevent exposure of statistical information via leaky operators
-      (Peter Eisentraut)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Some selectivity estimation functions in the planner will apply
-      user-defined operators to values obtained
-      from <structname>pg_statistic</structname>, such as most common values and
-      histogram entries.  This occurs before table permissions are checked,
-      so a nefarious user could exploit the behavior to obtain these values
-      for table columns he does not have permission to read.  To fix,
-      fall back to a default estimate if the operator's implementation
-      function is not certified leak-proof and the calling user does not have
-      permission to read the table column whose statistics are needed.
-      At least one of these criteria is satisfied in most cases in practice.

-
-     <para>
-      The initial snapshot created for a logical decoding replication slot
-      was potentially incorrect.  This could cause third-party tools that
-      use logical decoding to copy incomplete/inconsistent initial data.

-      If you are using a replication tool that depends on logical decoding,

-      Use correct daylight-savings rules for POSIX-style time zone names

-
-     <para>
-      The Microsoft MSVC build scripts neglected to install

-      This resulted in the timezone code falling back to its built-in
-      rule about what DST behavior to assume for a POSIX-style time zone
-      name.  For historical reasons that still corresponds to the DST rules
-      the USA was using before 2007 (i.e., change on first Sunday in April
-      and last Sunday in October).  With this fix, a POSIX-style zone name
-      will use the current and historical DST transition dates of
-      the <literal>US/Eastern</literal> zone.  If you don't want that, remove
-      the <filename>posixrules</filename> file, or replace it with a copy of some
-      other zone file (see <xref linkend="datatype-timezones"/>).  Note that
-      due to caching, you may need to restart the server to get such changes

-      Remove incorrect, and inconsistently-applied, rewrite rules that
-      tried to transform away AND/OR/NOT operators appearing below a PHRASE
-      operator; instead upgrade the execution engine to handle such cases
-      correctly.  This fixes assorted strange behavior and possible crashes
-      for text search queries containing such combinations.  Also fix
-      nested PHRASE operators to work sanely in combinations other than
-      simple left-deep trees, correct the behavior when removing stopwords
-      from a phrase search clause, and make sure that index searches behave
-      consistently with simple sequential-scan application of such queries.

-      Fix WAL-logging of truncation of relation free space maps and

-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      It was possible for these files to not be correctly restored during
-      crash recovery, or to be written incorrectly on a standby server.
-      Bogus entries in a free space map could lead to attempts to access
-      pages that have been truncated away from the relation itself, typically
-      producing errors like <quote>could not read block <replaceable>XXX</replaceable>:
-      read only 0 of 8192 bytes</quote>.  Checksum failures in the
-      visibility map are also possible, if checksumming is enabled.

-      Fix possible data corruption when <application>pg_upgrade</application> rewrites
-      a relation visibility map into 9.6 format (Tom Lane)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      On big-endian machines, bytes of the new visibility map were written
-      in the wrong order, leading to a completely incorrect map.  On
-      Windows, the old map was read using text mode, leading to incorrect
-      results if the map happened to contain consecutive bytes that matched
-      a carriage return/line feed sequence.  The latter error would almost
-      always lead to a <application>pg_upgrade</application> failure due to the map
-      file appearing to be the wrong length.
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      If you are using a big-endian machine (many non-Intel architectures
-      are big-endian) and have used <application>pg_upgrade</application> to upgrade
-      from a pre-9.6 release, you should assume that all visibility maps are
-      incorrect and need to be regenerated.  It is sufficient to truncate
-      each relation's visibility map
-      with <filename>contrib/pg_visibility</filename>'s
-      <function>pg_truncate_visibility_map()</function> function.

-        Formerly, anti-wraparound vacuum had to visit every page of
-        a table, even pages where there was nothing to do.  Now, pages
-        containing only already-frozen tuples are identified in the table's
-        visibility map, and can be skipped by vacuum even when doing
-        transaction wraparound prevention.  This should greatly reduce the

-
-       <para>
-        If necessary, vacuum can be forced to process all-frozen
-        pages using the new <literal>DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING</literal> option.

-        Normally, deleted tuples cannot be physically removed by

-        <acronym>MVCC</acronym> snapshot is guaranteed to be valid.  After that,
-        dead tuples are candidates for removal.  A transaction using an
-        outdated snapshot will get an error if it attempts to read a page
-        that potentially could have contained such data.

-      Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
-      the user running <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, etc (Tom)
-     </para>
-
-     <para>
-      Functions used in index expressions and partial-index
-      predicates are evaluated whenever a new table entry is made.  It has
-      long been understood that this poses a risk of trojan-horse code
-      execution if one modifies a table owned by an untrustworthy user.
-      (Note that triggers, defaults, check constraints, etc. pose the
-      same type of risk.)  But functions in indexes pose extra danger
-      because they will be executed by routine maintenance operations
-      such as <command>VACUUM FULL</command>, which are commonly performed
-      automatically under a superuser account.  For example, a nefarious user
-      can execute code with superuser privileges by setting up a
-      trojan-horse index definition and waiting for the next routine vacuum.
-      The fix arranges for standard maintenance operations
-      (including <command>VACUUM</command>, <command>ANALYZE</command>, <command>REINDEX</command>,
-      and <command>CLUSTER</command>) to execute as the table owner rather than
-      the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already
-      used for <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> functions.  To prevent bypassing
-      this security measure, execution of <command>SET SESSION
-      AUTHORIZATION</command> and <command>SET ROLE</command> is now forbidden within a
-      <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> context.  (CVE-2007-6600)

-    Full security against the SQL-injection attacks described in

-   <title>Migration to Version 7.3.10</title>
-
-   <para>
-    A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.3.X.  However,
-    it is one possible way of handling a significant security problem
-    that has been found in the initial contents of 7.3.X system
-    catalogs.  A dump/initdb/reload sequence using 7.3.10's initdb will
-    automatically correct this problem.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The security problem is that the built-in character set encoding
-    conversion functions can be invoked from SQL commands by unprivileged
-    users, but the functions were not designed for such use and are not
-    secure against malicious choices of arguments.  The fix involves changing
-    the declared parameter list of these functions so that they can no longer
-    be invoked from SQL commands.  (This does not affect their normal use
-    by the encoding conversion machinery.)
-    It is strongly recommended that all installations repair this error,
-    either by initdb or by following the manual repair procedure given
-    below.  The error at least allows unprivileged database users to crash
-    their server process, and might allow unprivileged users to gain the
-    privileges of a database superuser.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    If you wish not to do an initdb, perform the following procedure instead.
-    As the database superuser, do:
-
-<programlisting>
-BEGIN;
-UPDATE pg_proc SET proargtypes[3] = 'internal'::regtype
-WHERE pronamespace = 11 AND pronargs = 5
-     AND proargtypes[2] = 'cstring'::regtype;
--- The command should report having updated 90 rows;
--- if not, rollback and investigate instead of committing!
-COMMIT;
-</programlisting>
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The above procedure must be carried out in <emphasis>each</emphasis> database
-    of an installation, including <literal>template1</literal>, and ideally
-    including <literal>template0</literal> as well.  If you do not fix the
-    template databases then any subsequently created databases will contain
-    the same error.  <literal>template1</literal> can be fixed in the same way
-    as any other database, but fixing <literal>template0</literal> requires

-    <term>Schemas</term>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      Schemas allow users to create objects in separate namespaces,
-      so two people or applications can have tables with the same
-      name. There is also a public schema for shared tables.
-      Table/index creation can be restricted by removing privileges
-      on the public schema.

-      Functions returning multiple rows and/or multiple columns are
-      now much easier to use than before.  You can call such a
-      <quote>table function</quote> in the <literal>SELECT</literal>
-      <literal>FROM</literal> clause, treating its output like a
-      table. Also, <application>PL/pgSQL</application> functions can

-      By default, functions can now take up to 32 parameters, and
-      identifiers can be up to 63 bytes long.  Also, <literal>OPAQUE</literal>
-      is now deprecated: there are specific <quote>pseudo-datatypes</quote>

-  <title>Migration to Version 7.3</title>
-
-  <para>
-   A dump/restore using <application>pg_dump</application> is required for those
-   wishing to migrate data from any previous release. If your
-   application examines the system catalogs, additional changes will
-   be required due to the introduction of schemas in 7.3; for more
-   information, see: <ulink
-   url="http://developer.postgresql.org/~momjian/upgrade_tips_7.3"></ulink>.

-    </para>
-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> now has a column for the user
-     name and additional features.  Existing files need to be
-     adjusted.
-    </para>
-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     Several <filename>postgresql.conf</filename> logging parameters

-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     <command>INSERT</command> statements with column lists must
-     specify a value for each specified column. For example,
-     <literal>INSERT INTO tab (col1, col2) VALUES ('val1')</literal>
-     is now invalid.  It's still allowed to supply fewer columns than
-     expected if the <command>INSERT</command> does not have a column list.
-    </para>
-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     <type>serial</type> columns are no longer automatically
-     <literal>UNIQUE</literal>; thus, an index will not automatically be
-     created.
-    </para>

-    <para>
-     <command>COPY</command> no longer considers missing trailing
-     columns to be null.  All columns need to be specified.
-     (However, one can achieve a similar effect by specifying a
-     column list in the <command>COPY</command> command.)
-    </para>
-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     The data type <type>timestamp</type> is now equivalent to

-     <type>timestamp with time zone</type>.
-    </para>
-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     Pre-7.3 databases loaded into 7.3 will not have the new object
-     dependencies for <type>serial</type> columns, unique
-     constraints, and foreign keys. See the directory
-     <filename>contrib/adddepend/</filename> for a detailed
-     description and a script that will add such dependencies.

-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     An empty string (<literal>''</literal>) is no longer allowed as

-    <term>VACUUM</term>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      Vacuuming no longer locks tables, thus allowing normal user
-      access during the vacuum.  A new <command>VACUUM FULL</command>
-      command does old-style vacuum by locking the table and
-      shrinking the on-disk copy of the table.

-   A dump/restore using <command>pg_dump</command> is required for
-   those wishing to migrate data from any previous release.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   Observe the following incompatibilities:
-  </para>
-
-  <itemizedlist>
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     The semantics of the <command>VACUUM</command> command have
-     changed in this release.  You might wish to update your
-     maintenance procedures accordingly.
-    </para>
-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     In this release, comparisons using <literal>= NULL</literal>
-     will always return false (or NULL, more precisely).  Previous
-     releases automatically transformed this syntax to <literal>IS
-     NULL</literal>.  The old behavior can be re-enabled using a
-     <filename>postgresql.conf</filename> parameter.
-    </para>
-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     The <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> and <filename>pg_ident.conf</filename>

-    <para>
-     The date/time value <literal>'current'</literal> is no longer

-   </listitem>
-
-   <listitem>
-    <para>
-     The <literal>timestamp()</literal>, <literal>time()</literal>,
-     and <literal>interval()</literal> functions are no longer
-     available.  Instead of <literal>timestamp()</literal>, use
-     <literal>timestamp 'string'</literal> or <literal>CAST</literal>.

-
-  </itemizedlist>
-
-  <para>
-   The <literal>SELECT ... LIMIT #,#</literal> syntax will be removed

-   20</literal>.

-To maintain database consistency in case of an operating system crash,

-all data modifications to disk before each transaction commit.  With
-WAL, only one log file must be flushed to disk, greatly improving
-performance.  If you have been using -F in previous releases to

-    For those upgrading from 6.5.*, you can instead use

-      The optimizer has been substantially improved in the area of
-      query cost estimation. In some cases, this will result in
-      decreased query times as the optimizer makes a better choice
-      for the preferred plan. However, in a small number of cases,
-      usually involving pathological distributions of data, your
-      query times might go up. If you are dealing with large amounts
-      of data, you might want to check your queries to verify
-      performance.

-   This release marks a major step in the development team's mastery of the source

-   major features, thanks to the increasing size and experience of our
-   world-wide development team.

-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       This removes our old table-level locking, and replaces it with
-       a locking system that is superior to most commercial database
-       systems.  In a traditional system, each row that is modified
-       is locked until committed, preventing reads by other users.
-       MVCC uses the natural multiversion nature of
-       <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> to allow readers to
-       continue reading consistent data during writer activity.
-       Writers continue to use the compact pg_log transaction system.
-       This is all performed without having to allocate a lock for
-       every row like traditional database systems.  So, basically,
-       we no longer are restricted by simple table-level locking; we
-       have something better than row-level locking.

-   <title>Migration to Version 6.5</title>
-
-   <para>
-    A dump/restore using <application>pg_dump</application>
-    is required for those wishing to migrate data from any
-    previous release of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
-    <application>pg_upgrade</application> can <emphasis>not</emphasis>
-    be used to upgrade to this release because the on-disk structure
-    of the tables has changed compared to previous releases.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The new Multiversion Concurrency Control (MVCC) features can
-    give somewhat different behaviors in multiuser
-    environments. <emphasis>Read and understand the following section
-     to ensure that your existing applications will give you the
-     behavior you need.</emphasis>
-   </para>
-
-   <sect3>
-    <title>Multiversion Concurrency Control</title>
-
-    <para>
-     Because readers in 6.5 don't lock data, regardless of transaction
-     isolation level, data read by one transaction can be overwritten by
-     another. In other words, if a row is returned by
-     <command>SELECT</command> it doesn't mean that this row really exists
-     at the time it is returned (i.e. sometime after the statement or
-     transaction began) nor that the row is protected from being deleted or
-     updated by concurrent transactions before the current transaction does
-     a commit or rollback.
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-     To ensure the actual existence of a row and protect it against
-     concurrent updates one must use <command>SELECT FOR UPDATE</command> or
-     an appropriate <command>LOCK TABLE</command> statement. This should be
-     taken into account when porting applications from previous releases of
-     <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> and other environments.
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-     Keep the above in mind if you are using
-     <filename>contrib/refint.*</filename> triggers for
-     referential integrity. Additional techniques are required now. One way is
-     to use <command>LOCK parent_table IN SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE</command>
-     command if a transaction is going to update/delete a primary key and
-     use <command>LOCK parent_table IN SHARE MODE</command> command if a
-     transaction is going to update/insert a foreign key.
-
-     <note>
-      <para>
-       Note that if you run a transaction in SERIALIZABLE mode then you must
-       execute the <command>LOCK</command> commands above before execution of any
-       <acronym>DML</acronym> statement
-       (<command>SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE/FETCH/COPY_TO</command>) in the
-       transaction.
-      </para>
-     </note>
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-     These inconveniences will disappear in the future
-     when the ability to read dirty
-     (uncommitted) data (regardless of isolation level) and true referential
-     integrity will be implemented.

-  <note>
-   <para>
-    Bruce Momjian wrote the following notes to introduce the new release.
-   </para>
-  </note>
-
-  <para>
-   There are some general 6.3 issues that I want to mention.  These are
-   only the big items that cannot be described in one sentence.  A review
-   of the detailed changes list is still needed.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   First, we now have subselects.  Now that we have them, I would like to
-   mention that without subselects, SQL is a very limited language.
-   Subselects are a major feature, and you should review your code for
-   places where subselects provide a better solution for your queries.  I
-   think you will find that there are more uses for subselects than you might
-   think.  Vadim has put us on the big SQL map with subselects, and fully
-   functional ones too.  The only thing you cannot do with subselects is to
-   use them in the target list.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   Second, 6.3 uses Unix domain sockets rather than TCP/IP by default.  To
-   enable connections from other machines, you have to use the new
-   postmaster -i option, and of course edit <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename>.  Also, for this
-   reason, the format of <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> has changed.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   Third, <type>char()</type> fields will now allow faster access than <type>varchar()</type> or
-   <type>text</type>. Specifically, the <type>text</type> and <type>varchar()</type> have a penalty for access to
-   any columns after the first column of this type.  <type>char()</type> used to also
-   have this access penalty, but it no longer does.  This might suggest that
-   you redesign some of your tables, especially if you have short character
-   columns that you have defined as <type>varchar()</type> or <type>text</type>.  This and other
-   changes make 6.3 even faster than earlier releases.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   We now have passwords definable independent of any Unix file.  There are
-   new SQL USER commands.
-   See the <citetitle>Administrator's Guide</citetitle> for more
-   information.  There is a new table, pg_shadow, which is used to store
-   user information and user passwords, and it by default only SELECT-able
-   by the <systemitem>postgres</systemitem> super-user.  pg_user is now a view of pg_shadow, and is
-   SELECT-able by PUBLIC.  You should keep using pg_user in your
-   application without changes.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   User-created tables now no longer have SELECT privilege to PUBLIC by
-   default.  This was done because the ANSI standard requires it.  You can
-   of course GRANT any privileges you want after the table is created.
-   System tables continue to be SELECT-able by PUBLIC.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   We also have real deadlock detection code.  No more sixty-second
-   timeouts.  And the new locking code implements a <acronym>FIFO</acronym> better, so there
-   should be less resource starvation during heavy use.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   Many complaints have been made about inadequate documentation in previous
-   releases.  Thomas has put much effort into many new manuals for this
-   release.  Check out the doc/ directory.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   For performance reasons, time travel is gone, but can be implemented
-   using triggers (see <filename>pgsql/contrib/spi/README</filename>).  Please check out the new
-   \d command for types, operators, etc.  Also, views have their own
-   privileges now, not based on the underlying tables, so privileges on
-   them have to be set separately.  Check <filename>/pgsql/interfaces</filename> for some new
-   ways to talk to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-   This is the first release that really required an explanation for
-   existing users.  In many ways, this was necessary because the new
-   release removes many limitations, and the work-arounds people were using
-   are no longer needed.

-  </formalpara>
-
-<para>
- The regression tests have been adapted and extensively modified for the
- 6.1 release of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- Three new data types (<type>datetime</type>, <type>timespan</type>, and <type>circle</type>) have been added to
- the native set of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> types. Points, boxes, paths, and polygons
- have had their output formats made consistent across the data types.
- The polygon output in misc.out has only been spot-checked for correctness
- relative to the original regression output.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 6.1 introduces a new, alternate
-optimizer which uses <firstterm>genetic</firstterm>
- algorithms. These algorithms introduce a random behavior in the ordering
- of query results when the query contains multiple qualifiers or multiple
- tables (giving the optimizer a choice on order of evaluation). Several
- regression tests have been modified to explicitly order the results, and
- hence are insensitive to optimizer choices. A few regression tests are
- for data types which are inherently unordered (e.g. points and time
- intervals) and tests involving those types are explicitly bracketed with
- <command>set geqo to 'off'</command> and <command>reset geqo</command>.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- The interpretation of array specifiers (the curly braces around atomic
- values) appears to have changed sometime after the original regression
- tests were generated. The current <filename>./expected/*.out</filename> files reflect this
- new interpretation, which might not be correct!
-</para>
-
-<para>
- The float8 regression test fails on at least some platforms. This is due
- to differences in implementations of <function>pow()</function> and <function>exp()</function> and the signaling
- mechanisms used for overflow and underflow conditions.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- The <quote>random</quote> results in the random test should cause the
- <quote>random</quote> test to be <quote>failed</quote>, since the
- regression tests are evaluated using a simple diff. However,
- <quote>random</quote> does not seem to produce random results on my test
- machine (Linux/<application>gcc</application>/i686).

-<programlisting>
-Incompatibilities:
- * 1.01 is backwards compatible with 1.0 database provided the user
-   follow the steps outlined in the MIGRATION_from_1.0_to_1.01 file.
-   If those steps are not taken, 1.01 is not compatible with 1.0 database.
-
-Enhancements:
- * added PQdisplayTuples() to libpq and changed monitor and psql to use it
- * added NeXT port (requires SysVIPC implementation)
- * added CAST .. AS ... syntax
- * added ASC and DESC key words
- * added 'internal' as a possible language for CREATE FUNCTION
-   internal functions are C functions which have been statically linked
-   into the postgres backend.
- * a new type "name" has been added for system identifiers (table names,
-   attribute names, etc.)  This replaces the old char16 type.   The
-   of name is set by the NAMEDATALEN #define in src/Makefile.global
- * a readable reference manual that describes the query language.
- * added host-based access control.  A configuration file ($PGDATA/pg_hba)
-   is used to hold the configuration data.  If host-based access control
-   is not desired, comment out HBA=1 in src/Makefile.global.
- * changed regex handling to be uniform use of Henry Spencer's regex code
-   regardless of platform.  The regex code is included in the distribution
- * added functions and operators for case-insensitive regular expressions.
-   The operators are ~* and !~*.
- * pg_dump uses COPY instead of SELECT loop for better performance
-
-Bug fixes:
- * fixed an optimizer bug that was causing core dumps when
-   functions calls were used in comparisons in the WHERE clause
- * changed all uses of getuid to geteuid so that effective uids are used
- * psql now returns non-zero status on errors when using -c
- * applied public patches 1-14

-Copyright change:
- * The copyright of <productname>Postgres</productname> 1.0 has been loosened to be freely modifiable
-   and modifiable for any purpose.  Please read the COPYRIGHT file.
-   Thanks to Professor Michael Stonebraker for making this possible.
-
-Incompatibilities:
- *  date formats have to be MM-DD-YYYY (or DD-MM-YYYY if you're using
-   EUROPEAN STYLE).  This follows SQL-92 specs.
- *  "delimiters" is now a key word
-
-Enhancements:
- *  sql LIKE syntax has been added
- *  copy command now takes an optional USING DELIMITER specification.
-   delimiters can be any single-character string.
- *  IRIX 5.3 port has been added.
-   Thanks to Paul Walmsley and others.
- *  updated pg_dump to work with new libpq
- *  \d has been added psql
-   Thanks to Keith Parks
- *  regexp performance for architectures that use POSIX regex has been
-   improved due to caching of precompiled patterns.
-   Thanks to Alistair Crooks
- *  a new version of libpq++
-   Thanks to William Wanders
-
-Bug fixes:
- *  arbitrary userids can be specified in the createuser script
- *  \c to connect to other databases in psql now works.
- *  bad pg_proc entry for float4inc() is fixed
- *  users with usecreatedb field set can now create databases without
-   having to be usesuper
- *  remove access control entries when the entry no longer has any
-   privileges
- *  fixed non-portable datetimes implementation
- *  added kerberos flags to the src/backend/Makefile
- *  libpq now works with kerberos
- *  typographic errors in the user manual have been corrected.
- *  btrees with multiple index never worked, now we tell you they don't
-   work when you try to use them

-Incompatible changes:
- * BETA-0.3 IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH DATABASES CREATED WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS
-   (due to system catalog changes and indexing structure changes).
- * double-quote (") is deprecated as a quoting character for string literals;
-   you need to convert them to single quotes ('). <!-- " -->
- * name of aggregates (eg. int4sum) are renamed in accordance with the
-   SQL standard (eg. sum).
- * CHANGE ACL syntax is replaced by GRANT/REVOKE syntax.
- * float literals (eg. 3.14) are now of type float4 (instead of float8 in
-   previous releases); you might have to do typecasting if you depend on it
-   being of type float8.  If you neglect to do the typecasting and you assign
-   a float literal to a field of type float8, you might get incorrect values
-   stored!
- * LIBPQ has been totally revamped so that frontend applications
-   can connect to multiple backends
- * the usesysid field in pg_user has been changed from int2 to int4 to
-   allow wider range of Unix user ids.
- * the netbsd/freebsd/bsd o/s ports have been consolidated into a
-   single BSD44_derived port.  (thanks to Alistair Crooks)
-
-SQL standard-compliance (the following details changes that makes postgres95
-more compliant to the SQL-92 standard):
- * the following SQL types are now built-in: smallint, int(eger), float, real,
-   char(N), varchar(N), date and time.
-
-   The following are aliases to existing postgres types:
-                smallint -&gt; int2
-                integer, int -&gt; int4
-                float, real  -&gt; float4
-   char(N) and varchar(N) are implemented as truncated text types. In
-   addition, char(N) does blank-padding.
- * single-quote (') is used for quoting string literals; '' (in addition to
-   \') is supported as means of inserting a single quote in a string
- * SQL standard aggregate names (MAX, MIN, AVG, SUM, COUNT) are used
-   (Also, aggregates can now be overloaded, i.e. you can define your
-   own MAX aggregate to take in a user-defined type.)
- * CHANGE ACL removed. GRANT/REVOKE syntax added.
-   - Privileges can be given to a group using the "GROUP" key word.
-        For example:
-                GRANT SELECT ON foobar TO GROUP my_group;
-        The key word 'PUBLIC' is also supported to mean all users.
-
-        Privileges can only be granted or revoked to one user or group
-        at a time.
-
-        "WITH GRANT OPTION" is not supported.  Only class owners can change
-        access control
-   - The default access control is to grant users readonly access.
-     You must explicitly grant insert/update access to users.  To change
-     this, modify the line in
-                src/backend/utils/acl.h
-     that defines ACL_WORLD_DEFAULT
-
-Bug fixes:
- * the bug where aggregates of empty tables were not run has been fixed. Now,
-   aggregates run on empty tables will return the initial conditions of the
-   aggregates. Thus, COUNT of an empty  table will now properly return 0.
-   MAX/MIN of an empty table will return a row of value NULL.
- * allow the use of \; inside the monitor
- * the LISTEN/NOTIFY asynchronous notification mechanism now work
- * NOTIFY in rule action bodies now work
- * hash indexes work, and access methods in general should perform better.
-   creation of large btree indexes should be much faster.  (thanks to Paul
-   Aoki)
-
-Other changes and enhancements:
- * addition of an EXPLAIN statement used for explaining the query execution
-   plan (eg. "EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM EMP" prints out the execution plan for
-   the query).
- * WARN and NOTICE messages no longer have timestamps on them. To turn on
-   timestamps of error messages, uncomment the line in
-   src/backend/utils/elog.h:
-        /* define ELOG_TIMESTAMPS */
- * On an access control violation, the message
-        "Either no such class or insufficient privilege"
-   will be given.  This is the same message that is returned when
-   a class is not found.  This dissuades non-privileged users from
-   guessing the existence of privileged classes.
- * some additional system catalog changes have been made that are not
-   visible to the user.
-
-libpgtcl changes:
- * The -oid option has been added to the "pg_result" tcl command.
-   pg_result -oid returns oid of the last row inserted.   If the
-   last command was not an INSERT, then pg_result -oid returns "".
- * the large object interface is available as pg_lo* tcl commands:
-   pg_lo_open, pg_lo_close, pg_lo_creat, etc.
-
-Portability enhancements and New Ports:
- * flex/lex problems have been cleared up.  Now, you should be able to use
-   flex instead of lex on any platforms.  We no longer make assumptions of
-   what lexer you use based on the platform you use.
- * The Linux-ELF port is now supported.  Various configuration have been
-   tested:  The following configuration is known to work:
-        kernel 1.2.10, gcc 2.6.3, libc 4.7.2, flex 2.5.2, bison 1.24
-   with everything in ELF format,
-
-New utilities:
- * ipcclean added to the distribution
-   ipcclean usually does not need to be run, but if your backend crashes
-   and leaves shared memory segments hanging around, ipcclean will
-   clean them up for you.
-
-New documentation:
- * the user manual has been revised and libpq documentation added.

-Incompatible changes:
- * The SQL statement for creating a database is 'CREATE DATABASE' instead
-   of 'CREATEDB'. Similarly, dropping a database is 'DROP DATABASE' instead
-   of 'DESTROYDB'. However, the names of the executables 'createdb' and
-   'destroydb' remain the same.
-
-New tools:
- * pgperl - a Perl (4.036) interface to Postgres95
- * pg_dump - a utility for dumping out a postgres database into a
-        script file containing query commands. The script files are in an ASCII
-        format and can be used to reconstruct the database, even on other
-        machines and other architectures. (Also good for converting
-        a Postgres 4.2 database to Postgres95 database.)
-
-The following ports have been incorporated into postgres95-beta-0.02:
- * the NetBSD port by Alistair Crooks
- * the AIX port by Mike Tung
- * the Windows NT port by Jon Forrest (more stuff but not done yet)
- * the Linux ELF port by Brian Gallew
-
-The following bugs have been fixed in postgres95-beta-0.02:
- * new lines not escaped in COPY OUT and problem with COPY OUT when first
-   attribute is a '.'
- * cannot type return to use the default user id in createuser
- * SELECT DISTINCT on big tables crashes
- * Linux installation problems
- * monitor doesn't allow use of 'localhost' as PGHOST
- * psql core dumps when doing \c or \l
- * the "pgtclsh" target missing from src/bin/pgtclsh/Makefile
- * libpgtcl has a hard-wired default port number
- * SELECT DISTINCT INTO TABLE hangs
- * CREATE TYPE doesn't accept 'variable' as the internallength
- * wrong result using more than 1 aggregate in a SELECT
