This improves performance and + control over disk space usage.

Prior + release had no such capability; there was no way to recover from + a statement failure in a transation. This feature is valuable + for application writers that required complex transaction control. + Future releases will add similar exception handling to server-side + languages. + </para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + + <varlistentry> + <term> + Point-In-Time Recovery Increases Reliability + </term> + + <listitem> + <para> + Though PostgreSQL is very reliable, 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. + </para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + </variablelist> + </para> + </sect2> + + <sect2> + <title>Migration to version 7.5</title> + + <para> + A dump/restore using <application>pg_dump</application> is + required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous + release. + </para> + + <para> + Observe the following incompatibilities: + + <itemizedlist> + <listitem> + <para> + GUC parameters SortMem and VacuumMem have been renamed to + work_mem and maintenance_work_mem to better reflect their use. + The original names still supported. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + GUC parameters log_pid, log_timestamp, and log_source_port have been + removed now that a more flexible log_line_prefix has been added. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + GUC parameters virtual_host and tcpip_socket have been replaced + with a more general listen_addresses. Also, the server now + listens on localhost by default, which eliminates the need for + the -i postmaster switch in many scenarios. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + GUC parameter syslog has been removed and replaced with a more + logical log_destination variable to control the log output + destination. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + GUC parameter log_statement has been changed so it can restrict + logging of just database modification or data definition + statements. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + GUC parameter max_expr_depth parameter has been replaced with + max_stack_depth which measures the stack size rather than the + number of stack levels used. This helps prevent session + termination due to stack overflow caused by recursive functions. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + When matching GROUP BY names, prefer local FROM columns first, then SELECT + aliases, and FROM columns in upper subqueries. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + EXECUTE now returns a completion tag that matches the executed + statement. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + The length() function no longer measures trailing spaces in + CHAR() values. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + The server now warns of empty strings passed to oid/float4/float8 + data types.
