From 2491e17c72456616bea428e50599be6d56cbaad4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2015 13:27:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Release notes for 9.4.3, 9.3.8, 9.2.12, 9.1.17, 9.0.21. Also sneak entries for commits 97ff2a564 et al into the sections for the previous releases in the relevant branches. Those fixes did go out in the previous releases, but missed getting documented. --- doc/src/sgml/release-9.0.sgml | 101 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ doc/src/sgml/release-9.1.sgml | 95 ++++++++++++++++++++++ doc/src/sgml/release-9.2.sgml | 109 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ doc/src/sgml/release-9.3.sgml | 108 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ doc/src/sgml/release-9.4.sgml | 143 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 556 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/release-9.0.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/release-9.0.sgml index 9794b5b3b76..80cd1c43cdc 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/release-9.0.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/release-9.0.sgml @@ -1,6 +1,100 @@ + + Release 9.0.21 + + + Release Date + 2015-06-04 + + + + This release contains a small number of fixes from 9.0.20. + For information about new features in the 9.0 major release, see + . + + + + The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates + for the 9.0.X release series in September 2015. + Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon. + + + + Migration to Version 9.0.21 + + + A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.0.X. + + + + However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 9.0.18, + see . + + + + + + Changes + + + + + + Avoid failures while fsync'ing data directory during + crash restart (Abhijit Menon-Sen, Tom Lane) + + + + In the previous minor releases we added a patch to fsync + everything in the data directory after a crash.
