It might be needed to REINDEX indexes or textual coloumns for
the issues about plperl and locales in the 7.3.13 changes are
present. See the release documentation for further details.
Changes from 7.3.10 to 7.3.11:
- 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 missing rows in queries like UPDATE a=... WHERE a... with GiST
index on column a
- Improve checking for partially-written WAL pages
- Improve robustness of signal handling when SSL is enabled
- Various memory leakage fixes
- Various portability improvements
- Fix PL/PgSQL to handle var := var correctly when the variable is of
pass-by-reference type
Changes from 7.3.11 to 7.3.12:
- Fix race condition in transaction log management
- /contrib/ltree fixes (Teodor)
- Fix longstanding planning error for outer joins
- Prevent core dump in pg_autovacuum when a table has been dropped
Changes from 7.3.12 to 7.3.13:
- 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 7.3.13 to 7.3.14:
- Fix potential crash in SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION (CVE-2006-0553)
- Fix bug with row visibility logic in self-inserted rows (Tom)
- Fix race condition that could lead to "file already exists" errors
during pg_clog file creation (Tom)
- 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)
Changes:
* 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.
* Remove asymmetrical word processing in tsearch (Teodor)
* Properly schema-qualify function names when pg_dump'ing a CAST
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.
PL/Tcl is a dynamic loadable extension for the PostgreSQL database system
that enables the Tcl language to be used to create functions and
trigger-procedures. It offers most of the capabilities a function
writer has in the C language.
