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:
