Release Notes Release Notes
Release 7.4.1
Release date: 2003-12-15
This has a variety of fixes from 7.4.
_________________________________________________________________
Migration to version 7.4
A dump/restore is *not* required for those running 7.4.
_________________________________________________________________
Changes
Changes as of 2003-12-14
* Fixed bug in CREATE SCHEMA parsing (Michael)
* Fix --enable-thread-safety compile error when used with
--with-perl (Peter)
* Fix for subqueries that used hash joins (Tom)
Certain subqueries that used hash joins would crash because of
improperly shared structures.
* Fix free space map compaction bug (Tom)
This fixes a bug where compaction of the free space map could lead
to a database server shutdown.
* Fix for Borland compiler build of libpq (Bruce)
* Fix netmask() and hostmask() to return the maximum-length masklen
(Tom)
Fix these functions to return values consistent with pre-7.4
releases.
* Several /contrib/pg_autovacuum fixes
Fixes include improper variable initialization, missing vacuum
after TRUNCATE, and duration computation overflow for long
vacuums.
* Allow compile of /contrib/cube under Cygwin (Jason Tishler)
* Fix Solaris use of password file when no passwords are defined
(Tom)
Fix crash on Solaris caused by use of any type of password
authentication when no passwords were defined.
* JDBC fix for thread problems, other fixes
* Fix for index bytea lookups (Joe)
* Fix information schema for bit data types (Peter)
To enable this fix, an initdb is required.
* Force zero_damaged_pages to be on during recovery from WAL
* Prevent some obscure cases of "variable not in subplan target
lists"
* Make PQescapeBytea and byteaout consistent with each other (Joe)
* Escape bytea output for bytes > 0x7e(Joe)
If different client encodings are used for bytea output and input,
it is possible for bytea values to be corrupted by the differing
encodings. This fix escapes all bytes that might be affected.
* Added missing SPI_finish() calls to dblink's
get_tuple_of_interest() (Joe)
