+ Release 8.3.22
+
+
+ Release Date
+ 2012-12-06
+
+
+
+ This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.3.21.
+ For information about new features in the 8.3 major release, see
+ .
+
+
+
+ The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates
+ for the 8.3.X release series in February 2013.
+ Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon.
+
+
+
+ Migration to Version 8.3.22
+
+
+ A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.3.X.
+
+
+
+ However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.3.17,
+ see the release notes for 8.3.17.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Changes
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix multiple bugs associated with CREATE INDEX
+ CONCURRENTLY (Andres Freund, Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ Fix CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY to use
+ in-place updates when changing the state of an index's
+ pg_index row. This prevents race conditions that could
+ cause concurrent sessions to miss updating the target index, thus
+ resulting in corrupt concurrently-created indexes.
+
+
+
+ Also, fix various other operations to ensure that they ignore
+ invalid indexes resulting from a failed CREATE INDEX
+ CONCURRENTLY command. The most important of these is
+ VACUUM, because an auto-vacuum could easily be launched
+ on the table before corrective action can be taken to fix or remove
+ the invalid index.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Avoid corruption of internal hash tables when out of memory
+ (Hitoshi Harada)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix planning of non-strict equivalence clauses above outer joins
+ (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ The planner could derive incorrect constraints from a clause equating
+ a non-strict construct to something else, for example
+ WHERE COALESCE(foo, 0) = 0
+ when foo is coming from the nullable side of an outer join.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Improve planner's ability to prove exclusion constraints from
+ equivalence classes (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix partial-row matching in hashed subplans to handle cross-type cases
+ correctly (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ This affects multicolumn NOT IN subplans, such as
+ WHERE (a, b) NOT IN (SELECT x, y FROM ...)
+ when for instance b and y are int4
+ and int8 respectively. This mistake led to wrong answers
+ or crashes depending on the specific datatypes involved.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Acquire buffer lock when re-fetching the old tuple for an
+ AFTER ROW UPDATE/DELETE trigger (Andres Freund)
+
+
+
+ In very unusual circumstances, this oversight could result in passing
+ incorrect data to the precheck logic for a foreign-key enforcement
+ trigger. That could result in a crash, or in an incorrect decision
+ about whether to fire the trigger.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix REASSIGN OWNED to handle grants on tablespaces
+ (Álvaro Herrera)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Ignore incorrect pg_attribute entries for system
+ columns for views (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ Views do not have any system columns. However, we forgot to
+ remove such entries when converting a table to a view. That's fixed
+ properly for 9.3 and later, but in previous branches we need to defend
+ against existing mis-converted views.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix rule printing to dump INSERT INTO table
+ DEFAULT VALUES correctly (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Guard against stack overflow when there are too many
+ UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT clauses
+ in a query (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Prevent platform-dependent failures when dividing the minimum possible
+ integer value by -1 (Xi Wang, Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix possible access past end of string in date parsing
+ (Hitoshi Harada)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Produce an understandable error message if the length of the path name
+ for a Unix-domain socket exceeds the platform-specific limit
+ (Tom Lane, Andrew Dunstan)
+
+
+
+ Formerly, this would result in something quite unhelpful, such as
+ Non-recoverable failure in name resolution.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix memory leaks when sending composite column values to the client
+ (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Make pg_ctl more robust about reading the
+ postmaster.pid file (Heikki Linnakangas)
+
+
+
+ Fix race conditions and possible file descriptor leakage.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix possible crash in psql if incorrectly-encoded data
+ is presented and the client_encoding setting is a
+ client-only encoding, such as SJIS (Jiang Guiqing)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix bugs in the restore.sql script emitted by
+ pg_dump in tar output format (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ The script would fail outright on tables whose names include
+ upper-case characters. Also, make the script capable of restoring
+ data in
+
+
+
+
+ Fix pg_restore to accept POSIX-conformant
+ tar files (Brian Weaver, Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ The original coding of pg_dump's tar
+ output mode produced files that are not fully conformant with the
+ POSIX standard. This has been corrected for version 9.3. This
+ patch updates previous branches so that they will accept both the
+ incorrect and the corrected formats, in hopes of avoiding
+ compatibility problems when 9.3 comes out.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix pg_resetxlog to locate postmaster.pid
+ correctly when given a relative path to the data directory (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ This mistake could lead to pg_resetxlog not noticing
+ that there is an active postmaster using the data directory.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix libpq's lo_import() and
+ lo_export() functions to report file I/O errors properly
+ (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix ecpg's processing of nested structure pointer
+ variables (Muhammad Usama)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Make contrib/pageinspect's btree page inspection
+ functions take buffer locks while examining pages (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix pgxs support for building loadable modules on AIX
+ (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+ Building modules outside the original source tree didn't work on AIX.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2012j
+ for DST law changes in Cuba, Israel, Jordan, Libya, Palestine, Western
+ Samoa, and portions of Brazil.
