In order to address several issues identified since our last
Point Releases, we have just released the following new
versions of PostgreSQL: 7.3.11, 7.4.9 and 8.0.4.
A few of the more prominent fixes across all three versions
are:
- Fix error that allowed "VACUUM" to remove ctid chains too
soon
- Fix missing rows in queries like UPDATE a=... WHERE a... with
GiST index on column a
- Improve checking for partially-written WAL pages
- Various memory leakage fixes
For a complete list of fixes in each release, please see the
HISTORY file.
These Point Releases do not require a dump/reload from the
previous Point, but *may* require one if upgrading from an
earlier version. Please see the Release Notes to confirm
procedures for upgrading if your current version is older then
1 Point Release.
