Fri Nov 9 13:00:00 2018 Reinhard Max
- Update to 9.6.11:

* Numerous bug fixes, see the release notes:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/release-9-6-11.html

* Remove unneeded library dependencies from PGXS.

Wed Oct 17 14:00:00 2018 Marcus Rueckert
- add provides for the new server-devel package that will be
introduced in postgresql 11

Fri Aug 10 14:00:00 2018 maxAATTsuse.com
- Update to 9.6.10:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-6-10.html

* CVE-2018-10915, bsc#1104199: Fix failure to reset libpq\'s state
fully between connection attempts.

* CVE-2018-10925, bsc#1104202: Fix INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE
through a view that isn\'t just SELECT
* FROM ...

Wed May 16 14:00:00 2018 maxAATTsuse.com
- Update to 9.6.9:
https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1851/
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-6-9.html
A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.6.X.
However, if you use the adminpack extension, you should update
it as per the first changelog entry below.
Also, if the function marking mistakes mentioned in the second
and third changelog entries below affect you, you will want to
take steps to correct your database catalogs.

* CVE-2018-1115, bsc#1091610: Remove public execute privilege
from contrib/adminpack\'s pg_logfile_rotate() function
pg_logfile_rotate() is a deprecated wrapper for the core
function pg_rotate_logfile(). When that function was changed
to rely on SQL privileges for access control rather than a
hard-coded superuser check, pg_logfile_rotate() should have
been updated as well, but the need for this was missed. Hence,
if adminpack is installed, any user could request a logfile
rotation, creating a minor security issue.
After installing this update, administrators should update
adminpack by performing ALTER EXTENSION adminpack UPDATE in
each database in which adminpack is installed.

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

* Fix incorrect parallel-safety markings on a few built-in
functions.

Sat Mar 10 13:00:00 2018 mrueckertAATTsuse.de
- Update to PostgreSQL 9.6.8

* https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release-9-6-8.html
A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.6.X.
However, if you run an installation in which not all users are
mutually trusting, or if you maintain an application or
extension that is intended for use in arbitrary situations, it
is strongly recommended that you read the documentation changes
described in the first changelog entry in the link above, and
take suitable steps to ensure that your installation or code is
secure.
Also, the changes described in the second changelog entry in
the link above may cause functions used in index expressions or
materialized views to fail during auto-analyze, or when
reloading from a dump. After upgrading, monitor the server logs
for such problems, and fix affected functions.

* CVE-2018-1058 bsc#1081925 Uncontrolled search path element in
pg_dump and other client applications

Fri Feb 9 13:00:00 2018 maxAATTsuse.com
- Update to PostgreSQL 9.6.7

* https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release-9-6-7.html

* CVE-2018-1053, bsc#1077983: Ensure that all temporary files
made by pg_upgrade are non-world-readable.

* bsc#1079757: Rename pg_rewind\'s copy_file_range function to
avoid conflict with new Linux system call of that name.
- Don\'t %config the symlinks to /etc/alternatives to avoid rpmlint
warnings.

Tue Dec 5 13:00:00 2017 mrueckertAATTsuse.de
- Update to version 9.6.6:

* https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release-9-6-6.html

* Security Issues
- CVE-2017-15098, bsc#1067844:
Memory disclosure in JSON functions
- CVE-2017-15099, bsc#1067841: INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
fails to enforce SELECT privileges
Prior to this release, the \"INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE\"
would not check to see if the executing user had permission
to perform a \"SELECT\" on the index performing the conflicting
check. Additionally, in a table with row-level security
enabled, the \"INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE\" would not
check the SELECT policies for that table before performing
the update.
This fix ensures that \"INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE\"
checks against table permissions and RLS policies before
executing.

Thu May 12 14:00:00 2016 mrueckertAATTsuse.de
- update to 9.6beta1
- Major Features of 9.6
Version 9.6 includes significant changes and exciting
enhancements including:
- Parallel sequential scans, joins and aggregates
- Support for consistent, read-scaling clusters through
multiple synchronous standbys and \"remote_apply\" synchronous
commit.
- Full text search for phrases
- postgres_fdw can now execute sorts, joins, UPDATEs and
DELETEs on the remote server
- Decreased autovacuum impact on big tables by avoiding
\"refreezing\" old data.
- In particular, parallel execution should bring a noticeable
increase in performance to supported queries.
- Help Test for Bugs
As with other major releases, the improvements in PostgreSQL
include changes to large amounts of code. We count on you to
test the altered version with your workloads and testing tools
in order to find bugs and regressions before the release of
PostgreSQL 9.6.0. In addition to testing that the new features
work as documented, consider testing the following:
- Do parallel queries actually improve performance for you?
- Can you make parallel queries crash or lose data?
- Do our code changes cause PostgreSQL to not function on your
platform?
- Does improved vacuum freezing safely reduce autovacuum of
large tables?
- Does phrase search return the results you expect?
Version 9.6 Beta 1 also makes changes to the binary backup API.
Administrators should test version 9.6 with PostgreSQL backup
tools, including pgBackRest, Barman, WAL-E, and other packaged
and in-house software.
As this is a Beta, minor changes to database behaviors, feature
details, and APIs are still possible. Your feedback and testing
will help determine the final tweaks on the new features, so
test soon. The quality of user testing helps determine when we
can make a final release.

Wed May 4 14:00:00 2016 mrueckertAATTsuse.de
- Security and bugfix release 9.5.2: (bnc# 978456)
This release closes security hole CVE-2016-2193, where a query
plan might get reused for more than one ROLE in the same session.
This could cause the wrong set of Row Level Security (RLS)
policies to be used for the query.
The update also fixes CVE-2016-3065, a server crash bug triggered
by using pageinspect with BRIN index pages. Since an attacker
might be able to expose a few bytes of server memory, this crash
is being treated as a security issue.
- Fix two bugs in indexed ROW() comparisons
- Avoid data loss due to renaming files
- Prevent an error in rechecking rows in SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE
- Fix bugs in multiple json_ and jsonb_ functions
- Log lock waits for INSERT ON CONFLICT correctly
- Ignore recovery_min_apply_delay until reaching a consistent
state
- Fix issue with pg_subtrans XID wraparound
- Fix assorted bugs in Logical Decoding
- Fix planner error with nested security barrier views
- Prevent memory leak in GIN indexes
- Fix two issues with ispell dictionaries
- Avoid a crash on old Windows versions
- Skip creating an erroneous delete script in pg_upgrade
- Correctly translate empty arrays into PL/Perl
- Make PL/Python cope with identifier names
- changes from 9.5.1 (bnc# 966435 bnc# 966436 bnc# 978323)
This release closes security hole CVE-2016-0773, an issue with
regular expression (regex) parsing. Prior code allowed users to
pass in expressions which included out-of-range Unicode
characters, triggering a backend crash. This issue is critical
for PostgreSQL systems with untrusted users or which generate
regexes based on user input.
The update also fixes CVE-2016-0766, a privilege escalation issue
for users of PL/Java. Certain custom configuration settings
(GUCS) for PL/Java will now be modifiable only by the database
superuser.
In addition to the above, many other issues were patched in this
release based on bugs reported by our users over the last few
months. This includes multiple fixes for new features introduced
in version 9.5.0, as well as refactoring of pg_dump to eliminate
a number of chronic issues with backing up EXTENSIONs. Among them
are:
- Fix many issues in pg_dump with specific object types
- Prevent over-eager pushdown of HAVING clauses for GROUPING SETS
- Fix deparsing error with ON CONFLICT ... WHERE clauses
- Fix tableoid errors for postgres_fdw
- Prevent floating-point exceptions in pgbench
- Make \\det search Foreign Table names consistently
- Fix quoting of domain constraint names in pg_dump
- Prevent putting expanded objects into Const nodes
- Allow compile of PL/Java on Windows
- Fix \"unresolved symbol\" errors in PL/Python execution
- Allow Python2 and Python3 to be used in the same database
- Add support for Python 3.5 in PL/Python
- Fix issue with subdirectory creation during initdb
- Make pg_ctl report status correctly on Windows
- Suppress confusing error when using pg_receivexlog with older
servers
- Multiple documentation corrections and additions
- Fix erroneous hash calculations in gin_extract_jsonb_path()
- This update also contains tzdata release 2016a, with updates
for Cayman Islands, Metlakatla, Trans-Baikal Territory
(Zabaykalsky Krai), and Pakistan.
- changes from 9.5.0
A most-requested feature by application developers for several
years, \"UPSERT\" is shorthand for \"INSERT, ON CONFLICT UPDATE\",
allowing new and updated rows to be treated the same. UPSERT
simplifies web and mobile application development by enabling the
database to handle conflicts between concurrent data changes.
This feature also removes the last significant barrier to
migrating legacy MySQL applications to PostgreSQL.
Developed over the last two years by Heroku programmer Peter
Geoghegan, PostgreSQL\'s implementation of UPSERT is significantly
more flexible and powerful than those offered by other relational
databases. The new ON CONFLICT clause permits ignoring the new
data, or updating different columns or relations in ways which
will support complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) toolchains
for bulk data loading. And, like all of PostgreSQL, it is
designed to be absolutely concurrency-safe and to integrate
with all other PostgreSQL features, including Logical
Replication.
PostgreSQL continues to expand database security capabilities
with its new Row Level Security (RLS) feature. RLS implements
true per-row and per-column data access control which integrates
with external label-based security stacks such as SE Linux.
PostgreSQL is already known as \"the most secure by default.\" RLS
cements its position as the best choice for applications with
strong data security requirements, such as compliance with PCI,
the European Data Protection Directive, and healthcare data
protection standards.
RLS is the culmination of five years of security features added
to PostgreSQL, including extensive work by KaiGai Kohei of NEC,
Stephen Frost of Crunchy Data, and Dean Rasheed. Through it,
database administrators can set security \"policies\" which filter
which rows particular users are allowed to update or view. Data
security implemented this way is resistant to SQL injection
exploits and other application-level security holes.
PostgreSQL 9.5 includes multiple new features for bigger
databases, and for integrating with other Big Data systems. These
features ensure that PostgreSQL continues to have a strong role
in the rapidly growing open source Big Data marketplace. Among
them are:
BRIN Indexing: This new type of index supports creating tiny, but
effective indexes for very large, \"naturally ordered\" tables. For
example, tables containing logging data with billions of rows
could be indexed and searched in 5% of the time required by
standard BTree indexes.
Faster Sorts: PostgreSQL now sorts text and NUMERIC data faster,
using an algorithm called \"abbreviated keys\". This makes some
queries which need to sort large amounts of data 2X to 12X
faster, and can speed up index creation by 20X.
CUBE, ROLLUP and GROUPING SETS: These new standard SQL clauses
let users produce reports with multiple levels of summarization
in one query instead of requiring several. CUBE will also enable
tightly integrating PostgreSQL with more Online Analytic
Processing (OLAP) reporting tools such as Tableau.
Foreign Data Wrappers (FDWs): These already allow using
PostgreSQL as a query engine for other Big Data systems such as
Hadoop and Cassandra. Version 9.5 adds IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA and
JOIN pushdown making query connections to external databases both
easier to set up and more efficient.
TABLESAMPLE: This SQL clause allows grabbing a quick statistical
sample of huge tables, without the need for expensive sorting.
\"The new BRIN index in PostgreSQL 9.5 is a powerful new feature
which enables PostgreSQL to manage and index volumes of data that
were impractical or impossible in the past. It allows scalability
of data and performance beyond what was considered previously
attainable with traditional relational databases and makes
PostgreSQL a perfect solution for Big Data analytics,\" said Boyan
Botev, Lead Database Administrator, Premier, Inc.

(CVE-2014-0060, bnc#864845)

* Prevent privilege escalation via manual calls to PL validator
functions (CVE-2014-0061, bnc#864846)

* Avoid multiple name lookups during table and index DDL

* Prevent buffer overrun with long datetime strings
(CVE-2014-0063, bnc#864850)

* Prevent buffer overrun due to integer overflow in size

bnc#864853)

* Document risks of make check in the regression testing
instructions (CVE-2014-0067)

was unable to handle some cases involving freezing of
multixact IDs, with the practical effect that shared row-level
locks might be forgotten once old enough. Fixing this required
changing the WAL record format for tuple freezing. While this
is no issue for standalone servers, when using replication it
means that STANDBY SERVERS MUST BE UPGRADED TO 9.3.3 OR LATER
BEFORE THEIR MASTERS ARE.

Tue Apr 2 14:00:00 2013 maxAATTsuse.com
- Updated to version 9.2.4 (bnc#812525):

* CVE-2013-1899: Fix insecure parsing of server command-line
switches. A connection request containing a database name that
begins with \"-\" could be crafted to damage or destroy files
within the server\'s data directory, even if the request is
eventually rejected.

* CVE-2013-1900: Reset OpenSSL randomness state in each
postmaster child process. This avoids a scenario wherein
random numbers generated by \"contrib/pgcrypto\" functions might
be relatively easy for another database user to guess. The
risk is only significant when the postmaster is configured
with ssl = on but most connections don\'t use SSL encryption.

* CVE-2013-1901: Make REPLICATION privilege checks test current
user not authenticated user. An unprivileged database user
could exploit this mistake to call pg_start_backup() or
pg_stop_backup(), thus possibly interfering with creation of
routine backups.

- Security and bugfix release 8.4.5 (bnc#643771):

* Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in
PL/Perl and PL/Tcl (CVE-2010-3433).

Thu May 27 14:00:00 2010 maxAATTsuse.de
- Security and bugfix release 8.4.4:

* Enforce restrictions in plperl using an opmask applied to the
whole interpreter, instead of using Safe.pm. Recent
developments have convinced us that Safe.pm is too insecure to
rely on for making plperl trustable. This change removes use of
Safe.pm 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 strict pragma in a natural way in plperl, and that
Perl\'s $a and $b 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
pltcl_modules. 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
pltcl_modules 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 \"normal\" Tcl interpreter
unless we are really going to execute a pltclu
function. (CVE-2010-1170)

* Fix data corruption during WAL replay of ALTER ... SET
TABLESPACE. When archive_mode is on, ALTER ... SET TABLESPACE
generates a WAL record whose replay logic was incorrect. It
could write the data to the wrong place, leading to
possibly-unrecoverable data corruption. Data corruption would
be observed on standby slaves, and could occur on the master as
well if a database crash and recovery occurred after committing
the ALTER and before the next checkpoint.

* Fix possible crash if a cache reset message is received during
rebuild of a relcache entry. This error was introduced in 8.4.3
while fixing a related failure.

* Apply per-function GUC settings while running the language
validator for the function.

* This avoids failures if the function\'s code is invalid without
the setting; an example is that SQL functions may not parse if
the search_path is not correct.

* Do constraint exclusion for inherited UPDATE and DELETE target
tables when constraint_exclusion = partition. Due to an
oversight, this setting previously only caused constraint
exclusion to be checked in SELECT commands.

* Do not allow an unprivileged user to reset superuser-only
parameter settings. 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. 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.

* Fix erroneous handling of %r parameter in recovery_end_command.
The value always came out zero.

* Ensure the archiver process responds to changes in
archive_command as soon as possible.

* Fix pl/pgsql\'s CASE statement to not fail when the case
expression is a query that returns no rows.

* Update pl/perl\'s ppport.h for modern Perl versions.

* Fix assorted memory leaks in pl/python.

* Handle empty-string connect parameters properly in ecpg.

* Prevent infinite recursion in psql when expanding a variable
that refers to itself.

* Fix psql\'s \\copy to not add spaces around a dot within \\copy
(select ...). Addition of spaces around the decimal point in a
numeric literal would result in a syntax error.

* Avoid formatting failure in psql when running in a locale
context that doesn\'t match the client_encoding.

* Fix unnecessary \"GIN indexes do not support whole-index scans\"
errors for unsatisfiable queries using contrib/intarray
operators.

* Ensure that contrib/pgstattuple functions respond to cancel
interrupts promptly.

* Make server startup deal properly with the case that shmget()
returns EINVAL for an existing shared memory segment.
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.

Wed Dec 16 13:00:00 2009 maxAATTsuse.de
- Security and bugfix release 8.4.2:

* CVE-2009-4136: Protect against indirect security threats
caused by index functions changing session-local state. This
change prevents allegedly-immutable index functions from
possibly subverting a superuser\'s session.

* CVE-2009-4034: Reject SSL certificates containing an embedded
null byte in the common name (CN) field. This prevents
unintended matching of a certificate to a server or client
name during SSL validation.

* Fix hash index corruption. The 8.4 change that made hash
indexes keep entries sorted by hash value failed to update the
bucket splitting and compaction routines to preserve the
ordering. So application of either of those operations 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 REINDEX any hash indexes you
may have after installing this update.

* Fix possible crash during backend-startup-time cache
initialization

* Avoid crash on empty thesaurus dictionary

* Prevent signals from interrupting VACUUM at unsafe times. This
fix prevents a PANIC if a VACUUM FULL is cancelled after it\'s
already committed its tuple movements, as well as transient
errors if a plain VACUUM is interrupted after having truncated
the table.

* Fix possible crash due to integer overflow in hash table size
calculation. This could occur with extremely large planner
estimates for the size of a hashjoin\'s result.

* Fix crash if a DROP is attempted on an internally-dependent
object.

* Fix very rare crash in inet/cidr comparisons.

* Ensure that shared tuple-level locks held by prepared
transactions are not ignored.

* Fix premature drop of temporary files used for a cursor that is
accessed within a subtransaction.

* Fix memory leak in syslogger process when rotating to a new CSV
logfile.

* Fix memory leak in postmaster when re-parsing \"pg_hba.conf\".

* Make FOR UPDATE/SHARE in the primary query not propagate into
WITH queries.

* Fix bug with a WITH RECURSIVE query immediately inside another
one.

* Fix concurrency bug in hash indexes. Concurrent insertions
could cause index scans to transiently report wrong results.

* Fix incorrect logic for GiST index page splits, when the split
depends on a non-first column of the index.

* Fix wrong search results for a multi-column GIN index with
fastupdate enabled.

* Fix bugs in WAL entry creation for GIN indexes. These bugs were
masked when full_page_writes was on, but with it off a WAL
replay failure was certain if a crash occurred before the next
checkpoint.

* Don\'t error out if recycling or removing an old WAL file fails
at the end of checkpoint. It\'s better to treat the problem as
non-fatal and allow the checkpoint to complete. Future
checkpoints will retry the removal. Such problems are not
expected in normal operation, but have been seen to be caused
by misdesigned Windows anti-virus and backup software.

* Ensure WAL files aren\'t repeatedly archived on Windows. This is
another symptom that could happen if some other process
interfered with deletion of a no-longer-needed file.

* Fix PAM password processing to be more robust. The previous
code is known to fail with the combination of the Linux
pam_krb5 PAM module with Microsoft Active Directory as the
domain controller. It might have problems elsewhere too, since
it was making unjustified assumptions about what arguments the
PAM stack would pass to it.

* Raise the maximum authentication token (Kerberos ticket) size
in GSSAPI and SSPI authentication methods. While the old
2000-byte limit was more than enough for Unix Kerberos
implementations, tickets issued by Windows Domain Controllers
can be much larger.

* Ensure that domain constraints are enforced in constructs like
ARRAY[...]::domain, where the domain is over an array type.

* Fix foreign-key logic for some cases involving composite-type
columns as foreign keys.

* Ensure that a cursor\'s snapshot is not modified after it is
created. This could lead to a cursor delivering wrong results
if later operations in the same transaction modify the data the
cursor is supposed to return.

* Fix CREATE TABLE to properly merge default expressions coming
from different inheritance parent tables. This used to work but
was broken in 8.4.

* Re-enable collection of access statistics for sequences. This
used to work but was broken in 8.3.

* Fix processing of ownership dependencies during CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION.

* Fix incorrect handling of WHERE \"x\"=\"x\" conditions. In some cases
these could get ignored as redundant, but they aren\'t -- they\'re
equivalent to \"x\" IS NOT NULL.

* Fix incorrect plan construction when using hash aggregation to
implement DISTINCT for textually identical volatile
expressions.

* Fix Assert failure for a volatile SELECT DISTINCT ON expression.

* Fix ts_stat() to not fail on an empty tsvector value.

* Make text search parser accept underscores in XML attributes.

* Fix encoding handling in xml binary input. If the XML header
doesn\'t specify an encoding, we now assume UTF-8 by default;
the previous handling was inconsistent.

* Fix bug with calling plperl from plperlu or vice versa. An
error exit from the inner function could result in crashes due
to failure to re-select the correct Perl interpreter for the
outer function.

* Fix session-lifespan memory leak when a PL/Perl function is
redefined.

* Ensure that Perl arrays are properly converted to PostgreSQL
arrays when returned by a set-returning PL/Perl function. This
worked correctly already for non-set-returning functions.

* Fix rare crash in exception processing in PL/Python.

* Fix ecpg problem with comments in DECLARE CURSOR statements.

* Fix ecpg to not treat recently-added keywords as reserved
words. This affected the keywords CALLED, CATALOG, DEFINER,
ENUM, FOLLOWING, INVOKER, OPTIONS, PARTITION, PRECEDING, RANGE,
SECURITY, SERVER, UNBOUNDED, and WRAPPER.

* Re-allow regular expression special characters in psql\'s \\df
function name parameter.

* In \"contrib/pg_standby\", disable triggering failover with a
signal on Windows. This never did anything useful, because
Windows doesn\'t have Unix-style signals, but recent changes
made it actually crash.

* Put FREEZE and VERBOSE options in the right order in the VACUUM
command that \"contrib/vacuumdb\" produces.

* Fix possible leak of connections when \"contrib/dblink\"
encounters an error.

* Ensure psql\'s flex module is compiled with the correct system
header definitions. This fixes build failures on platforms
where --enable-largefile causes incompatible changes in the
generated code.

* Make the postmaster ignore any application_name parameter in
connection request packets, to improve compatibility with
future libpq versions.

* Update the timezone abbreviation files to match current reality
This includes adding IDT to the default timezone abbreviation
set.

Thu Sep 10 14:00:00 2009 maxAATTsuse.de
- Security and bugfix release 8.4.1:

* Fix WAL page header initialization at the end of archive
recovery. This could lead to failure to process the WAL in a
subsequent archive recovery.

* Fix \"cannot make new WAL entries during recovery\" error.

* Fix problem that could make expired rows visible after a crash.
This bug involved a page status bit potentially not being set
correctly after a server crash.

* Disallow RESET ROLE and RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION inside
security-definer functions. This covers a case that was missed
in the previous patch that disallowed SET ROLE and SET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION inside security-definer functions.
(See CVE-2007-6600)

* Make LOAD of an already-loaded loadable module into a no-op.

* Formerly, LOAD would attempt to unload and re-load the module,
but this is unsafe and not all that useful.

* Make window function PARTITION BY and ORDER BY items always be
interpreted as simple expressions. In 8.4.0 these lists were
parsed following the rules used for top-level GROUP BY and
ORDER BY lists. But this was not correct per the SQL standard,
and it led to possible circularity.

* Fix several errors in planning of semi-joins. These led to
wrong query results in some cases where IN or EXISTS was used
together with another join.

* Fix handling of whole-row references to subqueries that are
within an outer join. An example is SELECT COUNT(ss.
*) FROM
... LEFT JOIN (SELECT ...) ss ON .... Here, ss.
* would be
treated as ROW(NULL,NULL,...) for null-extended join rows,
which is not the same as a simple NULL. Now it is treated as a
simple NULL.

* Fix Windows shared-memory allocation code. This bug led to the
often-reported \"could not reattach to shared memory\" error
message.

* Fix locale handling with plperl.
This bug could cause the server\'s locale setting to change when
a plperl function is called, leading to data corruption.

* Fix handling of reloptions to ensure setting one option doesn\'t
force default values for others.

* Ensure that a \"fast shutdown\" request will forcibly terminate
open sessions, even if a \"smart shutdown\" was already in
progress.

* Avoid memory leak for array_agg() in GROUP BY queries.

* Treat to_char(..., \'TH\') as an uppercase ordinal suffix with
\'HH\'/\'HH12\'. It was previously handled as \'th\' (lowercase).

* Include the fractional part in the result of EXTRACT(second)
and EXTRACT(milliseconds) for time and time with time zone
inputs.
This has always worked for floating-point datetime
configurations, but was broken in the integer datetime code.

* Fix overflow for INTERVAL \'x ms\' when x is more than 2 million
and integer datetimes are in use.

* Improve performance when processing toasted values in index
scans. This is particularly useful for PostGIS.

* Fix a typo that disabled commit_delay.

* Output early-startup messages to postmaster.log if the server
is started in silent mode. Previously such error messages were
discarded, leading to difficulty in debugging.

* Remove translated FAQs. They are now on the wiki. The main FAQ
was moved to the wiki some time ago.

* Fix pg_ctl to not go into an infinite loop if postgresql.conf
is empty.

* Fix several errors in pg_dump\'s --binary-upgrade mode.

* pg_dump --binary-upgrade is used by pg_migrator.

* Fix contrib/xml2\'s xslt_process() to properly handle the
maximum number of parameters (twenty).

* Improve robustness of libpq\'s code to recover from errors
during COPY FROM STDIN.

* Avoid including conflicting readline and editline header files
when both libraries are installed.

* Work around gcc bug that causes \"floating-point exception\"
instead of \"division by zero\" on some platforms.

Mon Jul 27 14:00:00 2009 poemlAATTsuse.de
- postgresql-8.4.0-sle10-timestamptz.patch added, and applied
_only_ on SLE10. It fixes a build failure due to a test case that
seems to be confused by daylight saving time in the time zone
that the test expects its result (PDT vs. PST). Since this
failure happened only on SLE10, I assume that the test case isn\'t
broken, and some peculiarity on that (rather old now) platform is
to blame (possibly too old timezone files). Also, the testcase is
checking correctness when converting timezones > 32 bit, which
actually seems to work.

Wed Jul 15 14:00:00 2009 poemlAATTsuse.de
- replace \"ident sameuser\" with \"ident\" as auth method for the
initdb call in the init script, because the former doesn\'t work
with PostgreSQL 8.4. With the generated pg_hba.conf, PostgreSQL
failed to start. Added note to the upgrade READMEs. [bnc#522375]

Tue Jul 7 14:00:00 2009 maxAATTsuse.de
