It might be needed to REINDEX indexes or textual coloumns for
the issues about plperl and locales in the 7.3.13 changes are
present. See the release documentation for further details.
Changes from 7.3.10 to 7.3.11:
- Fix error that allowed VACUUM to remove ctid chains too soon, and add
more checking in code that follows ctid links
- Fix CHAR() to properly pad spaces to the specified length when using a
multiple-byte character set (Yoshiyuki Asaba)
- Fix missing rows in queries like UPDATE a=... WHERE a... with GiST
index on column a
- Improve checking for partially-written WAL pages
- Improve robustness of signal handling when SSL is enabled
- Various memory leakage fixes
- Various portability improvements
- Fix PL/PgSQL to handle var := var correctly when the variable is of
pass-by-reference type
Changes from 7.3.11 to 7.3.12:
- Fix race condition in transaction log management
- /contrib/ltree fixes (Teodor)
- Fix longstanding planning error for outer joins
- Prevent core dump in pg_autovacuum when a table has been dropped
Changes from 7.3.12 to 7.3.13:
- Fix character string comparison for locales that consider different
character combinations as equal, such as Hungarian (Tom)
- Set locale environment variables during postmaster startup to ensure
that plperl won't change the locale later
- Fix longstanding bug in strpos() and regular expression handling in
certain rarely used Asian multi-byte character sets (Tatsuo)
- Fix bug in /contrib/pgcrypto gen_salt, which caused it not to use all
available salt space for MD5 and XDES algorithms (Marko Kreen, Solar
Designer)
- Fix /contrib/dblink to throw an error, rather than crashing, when the
number of columns specified is different from what's actually returned
by the query (Joe)
Changes from 7.3.13 to 7.3.14:
- Fix potential crash in SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION (CVE-2006-0553)
- Fix bug with row visibility logic in self-inserted rows (Tom)
- Fix race condition that could lead to "file already exists" errors
during pg_clog file creation (Tom)
- Fix to allow restoring dumps that have cross-schema references to
custom operators (Tom)
- Portability fix for testing presence of finite and isinf during
configure (Tom)

Posted on 2005-05-12:
In order to address several security issues identified over the past two
weeks, as well as one "low probability" race condition, we are releasing new
version of PostgreSQL as far back as the 7.2.x branch.
Please note that the security issues were those already reported by Tom Lane,
as well as a manual fix for them. These releases are mainly to ensure that
those installing and/or upgrading existing installations have those fixes
automatically.
For details on the fixes, please see the HISTORY file included in the Release,
but a summary consists of:
* Change encoding function signature to prevent misuse
* Change "contrib/tsearch2" to avoid unsafe use of INTERNAL function results
* Repair race condition between relation extension and VACUUM This could
theoretically have caused loss of a page's worth of freshly-inserted data,
although the scenario seems of very low probability. There are no known
cases of it having caused more than an Assert failure.

instead on perl>=5.8.0. Bump the PKGREVISIONs of the following packages
due to the possible perl dependency changes after the removal of
libperl:

care of adding them automatically.

PL/Perl allows you to write functions in the Perl programming language
that may be used in SQL queries as if they were built into Postgres.
The PL/Perl intepreter is a full Perl interpreter. However, certain
operations have been disabled in order to maintain the security of the
system.
