The fix for locales and plperl in 7.4.11 might make an REINDEX necessary.
Changes from 7.4.8 to 7.4.9:
- Fix error that allowed VACUUM to remove ctid chains too soon, and add
more checking in code that follows ctid links
- Fix CHAR() to properly pad spaces to the specified length when using a
multiple-byte character set (Yoshiyuki Asaba)
- Fix the sense of the test for read-only transaction in COPY
- Fix planning problem with outer-join ON clauses that reference only
the inner-side relation
- Further fixes for x FULL JOIN y ON true corner cases
- Make array_in and array_recv more paranoid about validating their OID
parameter
- Fix missing rows in queries like UPDATE a=... WHERE a... with GiST
index on column a
- Improve robustness of datetime parsing
- Improve checking for partially-written WAL pages
- Improve robustness of signal handling when SSL is enabled
- Don't try to open more than max_files_per_process files during
postmaster startup
- Various memory leakage fixes
- Various portability improvements
- Fix PL/PgSQL to handle var := var correctly when the variable is of
pass-by-reference type
- Update contrib/tsearch2 to use current Snowball code
Changes from 7.4.9 to 7.4.10:
- Fix race condition in transaction log management
- Prevent failure if client sends Bind protocol message when current
transaction is already aborted
- /contrib/ltree fixes (Teodor)
- AIX and HPUX compile fixes (Tom)
- Fix longstanding planning error for outer joins

Changes from 7.4.10 to 7.4.11:
- Fix for protocol-level Describe messages issued outside a transaction
or in a failed transaction (Tom)
- Fix character string comparison for locales that consider different
character combinations as equal, such as Hungarian (Tom)
- Set locale environment variables during postmaster startup to ensure
that plperl won't change the locale later
- Fix longstanding bug in strpos() and regular expression handling in
certain rarely used Asian multi-byte character sets (Tatsuo)
- Fix bug in /contrib/pgcrypto gen_salt, which caused it not to use all
available salt space for MD5 and XDES algorithms (Marko Kreen, Solar
Designer)
- Fix /contrib/dblink to throw an error, rather than crashing, when the
number of columns specified is different from what's actually returned
by the query (Joe)
Changes from 7.4.11 to 7.4.12:
- Fix potential crash in SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION (CVE-2006-0553)

statements (Neil)
- Fix to allow restoring dumps that have cross-schema references to
custom operators (Tom)
- Portability fix for testing presence of finite and isinf during
configure (Tom)
backslashes anymore. A single backslash is enough. Changed the
definition in all affected packages. For those that are not caught, an
additional check is placed into bsd.pkginstall.mk.
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
within NetBSD-current's bsd.own.mk, which conflicts with its usage in
pkgsrc. The package that use USE_PAM have been converted to use the
bsd.options.mk framework. This should fix PR pkg/29257.
It includes the correct buildlink3.mk file from either Linux-PAM
(security/PAM) or OpenPAM (security/openpam) and eventually will
support solaris-pam. pam.buildlink3.mk will:
* set PAMBASE to the base directory of the PAM files;
* set PAM_TYPE to the PAM implementation used.
There are two variables that can be used to tweak the selection of
the PAM implementation:
PAM_DEFAULT is a user-settable variable whose value is the default
PAM implementation to use.
PAM_ACCEPTED is a package-settable list of PAM implementations
that may be used by the package.
Modify most packages that include PAM/buildlink3.mk to include
pam.buildlink3.mk instead.
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
only pass only the -L* LDFLAGS to the linker. This is correct for
pkgsrc since the wrapper scripts take care of correctly passing the
rpath info to the linker, so we don't need to filter those out. This
allows plpgsql.so to find libintl.so if we are using the pkgsrc version
of it. Bump the PKGREVISION of postgresql*-lib to 7.3.8nb1 and
7.4.6nb2.
Link the postgres binary with the necessary flags to allow it to
dlopen() modules that use pthreads[*]. This should allow postgres to
open a plperl.so module built on a system with perl+threads. Bump
the PKGREVISION of postgresql*-server to 7.3.8nb2 and 7.4.6nb2.
[*] Note that this behavior can be tweaked globally by setting
DLOPEN_REQUIRE_PTHREADS to "yes" or "no" in /etc/mk.conf.
Dump/restore is not necessary for 7.4.x users.
Changes in 7.4.5:
* Repair possible crash during concurrent btree index insertions
This patch fixes a rare case in which concurrent insertions into a
btree index could result in a server panic. No permanent damage
would result, but it's still worth a re-release. The bug does not
exist in pre-7.4 releases.
Changes in 7.4.4:
* Prevent possible loss of committed transactions during crash
Due to insufficient interlocking between transaction commit and
checkpointing, it was possible for transactions committed just
before the most recent checkpoint to be lost, in whole or in part,
following a database crash and restart. This is a serious bug that
has existed since PostgreSQL 7.1.
* Check HAVING restriction before evaluating result list of an
aggregate plan
* Avoid crash when session's current userID is deleted
* Fix hashed crosstab for zero-rows case (Joe)
* Force cache update after renaming a column in a foreign key
* Pretty-print UNION queries correctly
* Make psql handle \r\n newlines properly in COPY IN
* pg_dump handled ACLs with grant options incorrectly
* Fix thread support for OS X and Solaris
* Updated JDBC driver (build 215) with various fixes
* ECPG fixes
* Translation updates (various contributors)
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
Database server.
PostgreSQL is a robust, next-generation, Object-Relational DBMS (ORDBMS),
derived from the Berkeley Postgres database management system. While
PostgreSQL retains the powerful object-relational data model, rich data types
and easy extensibility of Postgres, it replaces the PostQuel query language
with an extended subset of SQL.
PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available.
This package contains the database server programs.
