supported versions of our database system, including 9.6.5, 9.5.9,
9.4.14, 9.3.19, and 9.2.23.
This release includes fixes that prevent a crash in pg_restore when
using parallel mode. It also patches over a few other bugs reported
since the last releases in August.
Additionally, in 9.4.14 only, there is a fix to an issue with walsenders
preventing primary-server shutdown unless immediate shutdown mode is used.
Users should plan to update at the next convenient downtime.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
This update also fixes a number of bugs reported in the last few weeks.
Some of these issues affect only version 9.6, but many affect all
supported versions:
* Show foreign tables in information_schema.table_privileges view.
This fix applies to new databases, see the release notes for the
procedure to apply the fix to an existing database.
* Correctly identify columns that are of a range type or domain type
over a composite type or domain type being searched for
* Prevent crash when passing fixed-length pass-by-reference data types
to parallel worker processes
* Change ecpg’s parser to allow RETURNING clauses without attached C
variables
* Change ecpg’s parser to recognize backslash continuation of C
preprocessor command lines
* Improve selection of compiler flags for PL/Perl on Windows
supported versions of our database system, including 9.6.4, 9.5.8,
9.4.13, 9.3.18, and 9.2.22. This release fixes three security issues.
It also patches over 50 other bugs reported over the last three months.
Users who are affected by the below security issues should update as
soon as possible. Users affected by CVE-2017-7547
(https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-7547) will need to
perform additional steps after upgrading to resolve the issue. Other
users should plan to update at the next convenient downtime.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 9.6.3, 9.5.7, 9.4.12, 9.3.17, and
9.2.21. This release fixes three security issues. It also patches a number of
other bugs reported over the last three months. Users who use the PGREQUIRESSL
environment variable to control connections, and users who rely on security
isolation between database users when using foreign servers, should update as
soon as possible. Other users should plan to update at the next convenient
downtime.

Also modify rcorder and let sshd start before PostgreSQL, so any problems
during startup can be reviewed promplty from an ssh login.
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 9.6.2, 9.5.6, 9.4.11, 9.3.16, and
9.2.20. This release includes fixes that prevent data corruption issues in
index builds and in certain write-ahead-log replay situations, which are
detailed below. It also patches over 75 other bugs reported over the last three
months.
Users should plan to apply this update at the next scheduled downtime.
Build corruption with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY
There existed a race condition if CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY was called on a
column that had not been indexed before, then rows that were updated by
transactions running at the same time as the CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY command
could have been indexed incorrectly.
If you suspect this may have happened, the most reliable solution is to rebuild
affected indexes after installing this update.
This issue is present in the 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6 series of PostgreSQL.

- Add PYTHON_PYOEXTENSION and PYTHON_SUFFIX
- Add PYTHON2 and PYTHON3
- Respect PYTHON_VERSION
- Rename PYOEXTENSION to PYTHON_PYOEXTENSION
This change would help:
- Build databases/postgresql*-plpython with Python 3
(It has PLIST issue since bsd.python.mk to Uses/python.mk transition)
- Simplify Makefile

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 9.6.1, 9.5.5, 9.4.10, 9.3.15,
9.2.19, and 9.1.24.
This release fixes two issues that can cause data corruption, which are
described in more detail below. It also patches a number of other bugs reported
over the last three months. The project urges users to apply this update at the
next possible downtime.
database, was released today by the PostgreSQL Global Development
Group. This release will allow users to both scale up and scale out
high performance database workloads. New features include parallel
query, synchronous replication improvements, phrase search, and
improvements to performance and usability, as well as many more
features.
- Clean up the Makefile.
- Follow some upstream recommendations (--with-data-packaging=archive,
--disable-renaming, -DICU_NO_USER_DATA_OVERRIDE).
- Patch makefiles to install static libraries with INSTALL_DATA so they
aren't stripped.
- Patch config/mh-bsd-gcc to sync with config/mh-linux-gcc.
- Fix endianness detection in ICU. The code wanted to use BYTE_ORDER
defined in machine/endian.h, but this isn't visible because ICU is
compiled with _XOPEN_SOURCE. Patch the code to use _BYTE_ORDER instead.
- Compile ICU with C++11 compiler to enable move constructors.
- Patch ICU to fix a problem with atomics in the case of a C++11 compiler
without C++11 header <atomic> (like Clang on FreeBSD 9).
- Bump all ports that depend on it due to library version change.
- Add USES=compiler:c++0x to some ports that pick up -std=c++0x from ICU
pkgconfig files.
- Add USES=compiler:c++11-lib to graphics/libcdr01 because it also needs
a C++11 runtime library now. Add this to all ports that depend on it
so their executables load the right libstdc++.so on FreeBSD 9.
