+
+ Release 7.4.29
+
+
+ Release date
+ 2010-05-17
+
+
+
+ This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.4.28.
+ For information about new features in the 7.4 major release, see
+ .
+
+
+
+ The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates
+ for the 7.4.X release series in July 2010.
+ Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon.
+
+
+
+ Migration to Version 7.4.29
+
+
+ A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X.
+ However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 7.4.26,
+ see the release notes for 7.4.26.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Changes
+
+
+
+
+
+ Do not allow an unprivileged user to reset superuser-only parameter
+ settings (Alvaro)
+
+
+
+ Previously, if an unprivileged user ran ALTER USER ... RESET
+ ALL for himself, or ALTER DATABASE ... RESET ALL for
+ a database he owns, this would remove all special parameter settings
+ for the user or database, even ones that are only supposed to be
+ changeable by a superuser. Now, the ALTER will only
+ remove the parameters that the user has permission to change.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Avoid possible crash during backend shutdown if shutdown occurs
+ when a CONTEXT addition would be made to log entries (Tom)
+
+
+
+ In some cases the context-printing function would fail because the
+ current transaction had already been rolled back when it came time
+ to print a log message.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Update pl/perl's ppport.h for modern Perl versions
+ (Andrew)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix assorted memory leaks in pl/python (Andreas Freund, Tom)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Ensure that contrib/pgstattuple functions respond to cancel
+ interrupts promptly (Tatsuhito Kasahara)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Make server startup deal properly with the case that
+ shmget() returns EINVAL for an existing
+ shared memory segment (Tom)
+
+
+
+ This behavior has been observed on BSD-derived kernels including OS X.
+ It resulted in an entirely-misleading startup failure complaining that
+ the shared memory request size was too large.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
