Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.2.0:
* Made PostgreSQL escaping functions in PostgreSQL and PDO extension keep
track of character set encoding whenever possible.
* Added allow_url_include, set to Off by default to disallow use of URLs
for include and require.

* Improved safe_mode enforcement for error_log() function.
* Fixed a possible buffer overflow in the underlying code responsible
for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() functions.

* Fixed overflow is str_repeat() & wordwrap() functions on 64bit machines.
* Fixed handling of long paths inside the tempnam() function.

Also other notable extensions changes:
* filePRO extension removed (not in PECL yet, php-filepro disabled for PHP5)
* JSON added (not enabled by default, packaged in php-json)

3. Fix a bug where cursor lookups on secondary databases with off-page
duplicates could fail. [#14240]
4. Fix a bug where cache buffer retrieval could race with a checkpoint call,
potentially causing database environment recovery to fail. [#14657]
* Fix core dump when an untyped literal is taken as ANYARRAY
* Fix string_to_array() to handle overlapping matches for the
separator string
For example, string_to_array('123xx456xxx789', 'xx').
* Fix corner cases in pattern matching for psql's \d commands
* Fix index-corrupting bugs in /contrib/ltree (Teodor)
* Fix backslash escaping in /contrib/dbmirror
* Adjust regression tests for recent changes in US DST laws
- A major revision of memory management to limit memory usage by slon
daemons.
- Log switching: periodically
- pg_listener is now used dramatically less than it used to be, which
diminishes the number of dead tuples you will find in this table.
- DDL scripts are broken into individual statements
- Slony-I tables are now marked "WITHOUT OIDS" so that they do not
consume OIDS.
- When possible (based on log switching functionality), partial
indexes on sl_log_1 and sl_log_2 are created on a per-origin-node
basis.

* Fix crash when referencing NEW row values in rule WHERE expressions
(Tom)
* Fix core dump when an untyped literal is taken as ANYARRAY
* Fix mishandling of AFTER triggers when query contains a SQL
function returning multiple rows (Tom)
* Fix "ALTER TABLE ... TYPE" to recheck NOT NULL for USING clause
(Tom)
* Fix string_to_array() to handle overlapping matches for the
separator string
For example, string_to_array('123xx456xxx789', 'xx').
* Fix corner cases in pattern matching for psql's \d commands
* Fix index-corrupting bugs in /contrib/ltree (Teodor)
* Numerous robustness fixes in ecpg (Joachim Wieland)
* Fix backslash escaping in /contrib/dbmirror
* Fix instability of statistics collection on Win32 (Tom, Andrew)
* Fixes for AIX and Intel compilers (Tom)
* Disallow aggregate functions in "UPDATE" commands, except within
sub-SELECTs (Tom)
The behavior of such an aggregate was unpredictable, and in 8.1.X
could cause a crash, so it has been disabled. The SQL standard does
not allow this either.
* Fix core dump when an untyped literal is taken as ANYARRAY
* Fix core dump in duration logging for extended query protocol when
a "COMMIT" or "ROLLBACK" is executed
* Fix mishandling of AFTER triggers when query contains a SQL
function returning multiple rows (Tom)
* Fix "ALTER TABLE ... TYPE" to recheck NOT NULL for USING clause
(Tom)
* Fix string_to_array() to handle overlapping matches for the
separator string
For example, string_to_array('123xx456xxx789', 'xx').
* Fix to_timestamp() for AM/PM formats (Bruce)
* Fix autovacuum's calculation that decides whether "ANALYZE" is
needed (Alvaro)
* Fix corner cases in pattern matching for psql's \d commands
* Fix index-corrupting bugs in /contrib/ltree (Teodor)
* Numerous robustness fixes in ecpg (Joachim Wieland)
* Fix backslash escaping in /contrib/dbmirror
* Minor fixes in /contrib/dblink and /contrib/tsearch2
* Efficiency improvements in hash tables and bitmap index scans (Tom)
* Fix instability of statistics collection on Win32 (Tom, Andrew)
* Fix statement_timeout to use the proper units on Win32 (Bruce)
In previous Win32 8.1.X versions, the delay was off by a factor of
100.
* Fixes for MSVC and Borland C++ compilers (Hiroshi Saito)
* Fixes for AIX and Intel compilers (Tom)

- Release: 1.8.71
libgnomedb_entry_builtin_plugins.so.4.0.0 links with libssl, and if
PREFER.openssl=pkgsrc then it should link with Pkgsrc libssl. Without
including security/openssl, it links with /usr/lib/libssl.so instead.
