* Prevent index corruption when a transaction inserts rows and then aborts close to the end of a concurrent "VACUUM" on the same table * Fix ALTER DOMAIN ADD CONSTRAINT for cases involving domains over domains * Make "CREATE DOMAIN ... DEFAULT NULL" work properly * Fix some planner problems with outer joins, notably poor size estimation for t1 LEFT JOIN t2 WHERE t2.col IS NULL * Allow the interval data type to accept input consisting only of milliseconds or microseconds * Allow timezone name to appear before the year in timestamp input * Fixes for GIN indexes used by "/contrib/tsearch2" * Speed up rtree index insertion * Fix excessive logging of SSL error messages * Fix logging so that log messages are never interleaved when using the syslogger process * Fix crash when log_min_error_statement logging runs out of memory * Fix incorrect handling of some foreign-key corner cases * Fix stddev_pop(numeric) and var_pop(numeric) * Prevent "REINDEX" and "CLUSTER" from failing due to attempting to process temporary tables of other sessions * Update the time zone database rules, particularly New Zealand's upcoming changes * Windows socket and semaphore improvements * Make "pg_ctl -w" work properly in Windows service mode * Fix memory allocation bug when using MIT Kerberos on Windows * Suppress timezone name (%Z) in log timestamps on Windows because of possible encoding mismatches * Require non-superusers who use "/contrib/dblink" to use only password authentication, as a security measure * Restrict "/contrib/pgstattuple" functions to superusers, for security reasons * Do not let "/contrib/intarray" try to make its GIN opclass the default (this caused problems at dump/restore)
2007-07-04Make it easier to build and install packages "unprivileged", wherejlam1-2/+5
the owner of all installed files is a non-root user. This change affects most packages that require special users or groups by making them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead. (1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to unprivileged.mk. These two variables are lists of other bmake variables that define package-specific users and groups. Packages that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP}, etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER} and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}. (2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.

* Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within search_path, and disable searching it for functions and operators * Fix shared_preload_libraries for Windows by forcing reload in each backend * Fix to_char() so it properly upper/lower cases localized day or month names * "/contrib/tsearch2" crash fixes * Require "COMMIT PREPARED" to be executed in the same database as the transaction was prepared in * Allow "pg_dump" to do binary backups larger than two gigabytes on Windows * New traditional (Taiwan) Chinese FAQ * Prevent the statistics collector from writing to disk too frequently * Fix potential-data-corruption bug in how "VACUUM FULL" handles "UPDATE" chains * Fix bug in domains that use array types * Fix "pg_dump" so it can dump a serial column's sequence using "-t" when not also dumping the owning table * Planner fixes, including improving outer join and bitmap scan selection logic * Fix possible wrong answers or crash when a PL/pgSQL function tries to RETURN from within an EXCEPTION block * Fix PANIC during enlargement of a hash index * Fix POSIX-style timezone specs to follow new USA DST rules
