Thread: PostgreSQL 7.4.2 Now Available ...
After several fixes were backpatches to the 7_4_STABLE branch, we have now
released a 7.4.2. As the list of Changes since 7.4.2 is quite small, they
are included in this email:
* Fix pg_statistics alignment bug that could crash optimizer
* Allow non-super users to update pg_settings
* Fix several optimizer bugs, most of which led to "variable not
found in subplan target lists" errors
* Avoid out-of-memory failure during startup of large multiple index
scan
* Fix multibyte problem that could lead to "out of memory" error
during "COPY IN"
* Fix problems with "SELECT INTO" / "CREATE TABLE AS" from tables
without OIDs
* Fix problems with "alter_table" regression test during parallel
testing
* Fix problems with hitting open file limit, especially on OS X
(Tom)
* Partial fix for Turkish-locale issues
* Make pg_dump set client encoding on restore
* Other minor pg_dump fixes
* Allow ecpg to again use C keywords as column names (Michael)
* Added ecpg WHENEVER NOT_FOUND to SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (Michael)
* Fix ecpg crash for queries calling set-returning functions (Michael)
* Various other ecpg fixes (Michael)
* Fixes for Borland compiler
* Thread build improvements (Bruce)
* Various other build fixes
* Various JDBC fixes
Unlike most minor versions, this version does require some updates to the
pg_* system tables. Full instructions for how to do this are included in
the full HISTORY file.
As always, this release is available on all our mirrors, viable at:
http://www.postgresql.org/mirrors-www.html
And, thanks to David Fetter, is also available via BitTorrent at:

Just a quick note to express my thanks. Great job folks. Issues I had with 7.3.5 have been fixed (pg_dump and dependancies) and the upgrade was quick and easy. Keep up the good work. Tim. Marc G.

7.5. The JDBC guys have been very good about back-patching stuff into
the 7.4 tree, even though it's now a separate CVS archive and thus extra
trouble for them. Thanks guys!
