+
+ Release 8.3.23
+
+
+ Release Date
+ 2013-02-07
+
+
+
+ This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.3.22.
+ For information about new features in the 8.3 major release, see
+ .
+
+
+
+ This is expected to be the last PostgreSQL release
+ in the 8.3.X series. Users are encouraged to update to a newer
+ release branch soon.
+
+
+
+ Migration to Version 8.3.23
+
+
+ A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.3.X.
+
+
+
+ However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.3.17,
+ see the release notes for 8.3.17.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Changes
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix SQL grammar to allow subscripting or field selection from a
+ sub-SELECT result (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Protect against race conditions when scanning
+ pg_tablespace (Stephen Frost, Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ CREATE DATABASE and DROP DATABASE could
+ misbehave if there were concurrent updates of
+ pg_tablespace entries.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Prevent DROP OWNED from trying to drop whole databases or
+ tablespaces (Álvaro Herrera)
+
+
+
+ For safety, ownership of these objects must be reassigned, not dropped.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Prevent misbehavior when a RowExpr or XmlExpr
+ is parse-analyzed twice (Andres Freund, Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ This mistake could be user-visible in contexts such as
+ CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING INDEXES.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Improve defenses against integer overflow in hashtable sizing
+ calculations (Jeff Davis)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Ensure that non-ASCII prompt strings are translated to the correct
+ code page on Windows (Alexander Law, Noah Misch)
+
+
+
+ This bug affected psql and some other client programs.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix possible crash in psql's \? command
+ when not connected to a database (Meng Qingzhong)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix one-byte buffer overrun in libpq's
+ PQprintTuples (Xi Wang)
+
+
+
+ This ancient function is not used anywhere by
+ PostgreSQL itself, but it might still be used by some
+ client code.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Rearrange configure's tests for supplied functions so it is not
+ fooled by bogus exports from libedit/libreadline (Christoph Berg)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Ensure Windows build number increases over time (Magnus Hagander)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Make pgxs build executables with the right
+ .exe suffix when cross-compiling for Windows
+ (Zoltan Boszormenyi)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Add new timezone abbreviation FET (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ This is now used in some eastern-European time zones.
+
+

+ Release 9.0.12
+
+
+ Release Date
+ 2013-02-07

+ Migration to Version 9.0.12

+
+ A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.0.X.

+ see the release notes for 9.0.6.

+
+
+ Changes
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix multiple problems in detection of when a consistent database
+ state has been reached during WAL replay (Fujii Masao, Heikki
+ Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, Andres Freund)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Update minimum recovery point when truncating a relation file (Heikki
+ Linnakangas)
+
+
+
+ Once data has been discarded, it's no longer safe to stop recovery at
+ an earlier point in the timeline.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix missing cancellations in hot standby mode (Noah Misch, Simon Riggs)
+
+
+
+ The need to cancel conflicting hot-standby queries would sometimes be
+ missed, allowing those queries to see inconsistent data.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix SQL grammar to allow subscripting or field selection from a
+ sub-SELECT result (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads
+ (Jan Wieck)
+
+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Protect against race conditions when scanning
+ pg_tablespace (Stephen Frost, Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ CREATE DATABASE and DROP DATABASE could
+ misbehave if there were concurrent updates of
+ pg_tablespace entries.

+ tablespaces (Álvaro Herrera)
