Thread: PostgreSQL 8.0.2 Now Available
Over the past several weeks, Tom Lane has been working on replacing our
old Cache Management Alorithm (ARC) with a new, patent free one (2Q).
In order to reduce the number of 8.x deployments out there that are using
the old manager, we have just released 8.0.2, and encourage adminstrators
to upgrade at their earliest convience.
For those already running 8.x on your production servers, please note that
this upgrade does *NOT* require a dump restore, but due to a bump in the
major version number for the client library (libpq), it *WILL* require all
client applications to be recompiled at the same time.
For a full list of bugs fixed in this version, please see the HISTORY
file, which can be found at:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.0.2/HISTORY
With Source tarballs available at:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.0.2
Binary/Install Packages for Windows are available at:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.0.2/win32/
And, for Bittorrent Users, David has put up the tar packages at:
http://bt.postgresql.org
Any bugs/problems with 8.0.2, please report them to:
pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org
Thank you ...

I want to be 100% sure. Currently my server runing 8.0.1 and my HTTP server ( another computer ) runing php which compiled on PG 7.4.7 and its working great. I need to recompile all the clients on all the other servers ( php / psql ) including PHP ? THanks Marc G.

No. Clients on other machines should work fine since nothing changed in the
wire protocol.

This is not true. Just don't delete your old libraries and keep using those. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
