Release Notes
Release 7.3.6
Release date: 2004-03-02
This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.3.5.
_________________________________________________________________
Migration to version 7.3.6
A dump/restore is *not* required for those running 7.3.*.
_________________________________________________________________
Changes
* Revert erroneous changes in rule permissions checking
A patch applied in 7.3.3 to fix a corner case in rule permissions
checks turns out to have disabled rule-related permissions checks
in many not-so-corner cases. This would for example allow users to
insert into views they weren't supposed to have permission to
insert into. We have therefore reverted the 7.3.3 patch. The
original bug will be fixed in 7.5.
* Repair incorrect order of operations in GetNewTransactionId()
This bug could result in failure under out-of-disk-space
conditions, including inability to restart even after disk space
is freed.
* Ensure configure selects -fno-strict-aliasing even when an
external value for CFLAGS is supplied
On some platforms, building with -fstrict-aliasing causes bugs.
* Make pg_restore handle 64-bit off_t correctly
This bug prevented proper restoration from archive files exceeding
4Gb.
* Make contrib/dblink not assume that local and remote type OIDs
match (Joe)
* Quote connectby()'s start_with argument properly (Joe)
* Don't crash when a rowtype argument to a plpgsql function is NULL
* Avoid generating invalid character encoding sequences in corner
cases when planning LIKE operations
* Ensure text_position() cannot scan past end of source string in
multibyte cases (Korea PostgreSQL Users' Group)
* Fix index optimization and selectivity estimates for LIKE
operations on bytea columns (Joe)
