Thread: Please add REINDEX note to 8.3.5 release notes.

Please add REINDEX note to 8.3.5 release notes.

From

Folks,

In the Release Notes for 8.3.5, 8.2.11, and 8.1.15, no mention is made
of the need to REINDEX GiST indexes for some users. Please add this
sentence to each Migration to Version section.

Please update soon; people are being confused between the apparent
contradiction between the Release Notes and the announcement.

-----------

E.1.1. Migration to Version 8.3.5

+ If you were previously running version 8.3.4, run REINDEX on all GiST
indexes after upgrade.

-----------

E.7.1. Migration to Version 8.2.11

+ If you were previously running version 8.2.10, run REINDEX on all GiST
indexes after upgrade.

-----------

E.19.1. Migration to Version 8.1.15


+ If you were previously running version 8.1.15, run REINDEX on all GiST
indexes after upgrade.

----------
