Release Notes
Release 7.3.8
Release date: 2004-10-22
This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.3.7.
_________________________________________________________________
Migration to version 7.3.8
A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.3.X.
_________________________________________________________________
Changes
* Repair possible failure to update hint bits on disk
Under rare circumstances this oversight could lead to "could not
access transaction status" failures, which qualifies it as a
potential-data-loss bug.
* Ensure that hashed outer join does not miss tuples
Very large left joins using a hash join plan could fail to output
unmatched left-side rows given just the right data distribution.
* Disallow running pg_ctl as root
This is to guard against any possible security issues.
* Avoid using temp files in /tmp in make_oidjoins_check
This has been reported as a security issue, though it's hardly
worthy of concern since there is no reason for non-developers to
use this script anyway.

_________________________________________________________________
Changes
* Prevent possible loss of committed transactions during crash
Due to insufficient interlocking between transaction commit and
checkpointing, it was possible for transactions committed just
before the most recent checkpoint to be lost, in whole or in part,
following a database crash and restart. This is a serious bug that
has existed since PostgreSQL 7.1.
* Fix corner case for btree search in parallel with first root page
split
* Fix buffer overrun in to_ascii (Guido Notari)
* Fix core dump in deadlock detection on machines where char is
unsigned
* Fix failure to respond to "pg_ctl stop -m fast" after
Async_NotifyHandler runs
* Repair memory leaks in pg_dump
* Avoid conflict with system definition of isblank() function or
macro
