One note from 1.7.8's changes:
This release of DB fixes numerous bugs compared to 1.7.7. Users of previous
versions are encouraged to upgrade in due course.
Users of the pgsql driver should note that this release fixes a security issue
reported by Yasuo Ohgaki; the security issue is described in more detail by
CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314. PostgreSQL users should upgrade to both DB
1.7.8 AND at least PostgreSQL 7.3.15, 7.4.13, 8.0.8, 8.1.4 or 8.2.0 as soon as
possible if they are using SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030 or UHC as a client
encoding.

all PEAR packages to php?-pear-* and all Apache packages to ap13-* or
ap2-* respectively. Add new variables to simplify the Makefile
handling. Add CONFLICTS on the old names. Reset revisions of bumped
packages. ap-php will now depend on the default Apache and PHP version.
All programs using it have an implicit option of the Apache version
as well.
OK from jlam@ and adrianp@.
