Headline: PostgreSQL 7.3.5 Update Released
Summary:
After several fixes were backpatches to the 7_3_STABLE branch, we have now
released a 7.3.5.
Story:
As the list of Changes since 7.3.4 is quite small, they follow:
<p>
* Force zero_damaged_pages to be on during recovery from WAL<br>
* Prevent some obscure cases of \"variable not in subplan target
lists\"<br>
* Force stats processes to detach from shared memory, ensuring
cleaner shutdown<br>
* Make PQescapeBytea and byteaout consistent with each other (Joe)<br>
* Added missing SPI_finish() calls to get_tuple_of_interest() (Joe)<br>
* Fix for possible foreign key violation when rule rewrites INSERT<br>
(Jan)
* Support qualified type names in PL/Tcl\'s spi_prepare command (Jan)<br>
* Make pg_dump handle a procedural language handler located in
pg_catalog<br>
* Make pg_dump handle cases where a custom opclass is in another
schema<br>
* Make pg_dump dump binary-compatible casts correctly (Jan)<br>
* Fix insertion of expressions containing subqueries into rule
bodies<br>
* Fix incorrect argument processing in clusterdb script (Anand
Ranganathan)<br>
* Fix problems with dropped columns in plpython triggers<br>
* Repair problems with to_char() reading past end of its input
string (Karel)<br>
* Fix GB18030 mapping errors (Tatsuo)<br>
* Fix several problems with SSL error handling and asynchronous SSL
I/O<br>
* Remove ability to bind a list of values to a single parameter in
JDBC (prevents possible SQL-injection attacks)<br>
* Fix some errors in HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP code paths<br>
* Fix corner case for btree search in parallel with first root page
split
<p>
This version, as with most minor versions, does not require a dump/reload
to put into place.
