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.
