2009-09-10Changes 8.2.14:adam2-6/+8
* Force WAL segment switch during pg_start_backup() * Disallow "RESET ROLE" and "RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION" inside security-definer functions * Make "LOAD" of an already-loaded loadable module into a no-op * Disallow empty passwords during LDAP authentication * Fix handling of sub-SELECTs appearing in the arguments of an outer-level aggregate function * Fix bugs associated with fetching a whole-row value from the output of a Sort or Materialize plan node * Revert planner change that disabled partial-index and constraint exclusion optimizations when there were more than 100 clauses in an AND or OR list * Fix hash calculation for data type interval * Treat to_char(..., 'TH') as an uppercase ordinal suffix with 'HH'/'HH12' * Fix overflow for INTERVAL 'x ms' when "x" is more than 2 million and integer datetimes are in use * Fix calculation of distance between a point and a line segment * Fix money data type to work in locales where currency amounts have no fractional digits, e.g. Japan * Properly round datetime input like 00:12:57.9999999999999999999999999999 * Fix poor choice of page split point in GiST R-tree operator classes * Avoid performance degradation in bulk inserts into GIN indexes when the input values are (nearly) in sorted order
2009-03-20Changes 8.2.13:adam2-6/+6
* Prevent error recursion crashes when encoding conversion fails. * Disallow "CREATE CONVERSION" with the wrong encodings for the specified conversion function. * Fix core dump when to_char() is given format codes that are inappropriate for the type of the data argument. * Fix possible failure in "contrib/tsearch2" when C locale is used with a multi-byte encoding. * Fix extreme inefficiency in "contrib/tsearch2" parser's handling of an email-like string containing multiple @ characters. * Fix decompilation of CASE WHEN with an implicit coercion. * Fix possible misassignment of the owner of a TOAST table's rowtype. * Fix PL/pgSQL to not treat INTO after "INSERT" as an INTO-variables clause anywhere in the string, not only at the start; in particular, don't fail for "INSERT INTO" within "CREATE RULE". * Clean up PL/pgSQL error status variables fully at block exit. * Retry failed calls to CallNamedPipe() on Windows. * Add MUST (Mauritius Island Summer Time) to the default list of known timezone abbreviations.
2009-02-07Changes 8.2.12:adam4-17/+18
* Improve handling of URLs in headline() function * Improve handling of overlength headlines in headline() function * Prevent possible Assert failure or misconversion if an encoding conversion is created with the wrong conversion function for the specified pair of encodings * Fix possible Assert failure if a statement executed in PL/pgSQL is rewritten into another kind of statement, for example if an "INSERT" is rewritten into an "UPDATE" * Ensure that a snapshot is available to datatype input functions * Make it safer for SPI-using functions to be used within datatype I/O; in particular, to be used in domain check constraints * Avoid unnecessary locking of small tables in "VACUUM" * Fix a problem that made UPDATE RETURNING tableoid return zero instead of the correct OID * Fix planner misestimation of selectivity when transitive equality is applied to an outer-join clause This could result in bad plans for queries like ... from a left join b on a.a1 = b.b1 where a.a1 = 42 ... * Improve optimizer's handling of long IN lists This change avoids wasting large amounts of time on such lists when constraint exclusion is enabled. * Ensure that the contents of a holdable cursor don't depend on the contents of TOAST tables * Fix memory leak when a set-returning function is terminated without reading its whole result * Fix "contrib/dblink"'s dblink_get_result(text,bool) function * Fix possible garbage output from "contrib/sslinfo" functions * Fix configure script to properly report failure when unable to obtain linkage information for PL/Perl * Make all documentation reference pgsql-bugs and/or pgsql-hackers as appropriate, instead of the now-decommissioned pgsql-ports and pgsql-patches mailing lists * Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2009a (for Kathmandu and historical DST corrections in Switzerland, Cuba)
2008-11-04Changes 8.2.11:adam2-6/+6
* Fix GiST index corruption due to marking the wrong index entry "dead" after a deletion. This would result in index searches failing to find rows they should have found. * Fix backend crash when the client encoding cannot represent a localized error message. We have addressed similar issues before, but it would still fail if the "character has no equivalent" message itself couldn't be converted. The fix is to disable localization and send the plain ASCII error message when we detect such a situation. * Fix possible crash when deeply nested functions are invoked from a trigger. * Improve optimization of "expression" IN ("expression-list") queries. Cases in which there are query variables on the right-hand side had been handled less efficiently in 8.2.x and 8.3.x than in prior versions. The fix restores 8.1 behavior for such cases. * Fix mis-expansion of rule queries when a sub-SELECT appears in a function call in FROM, a multi-row VALUES list, or a RETURNING list. * Fix memory leak during rescan of a hashed aggregation plan. * Ensure an error is reported when a newly-defined PL/pgSQL trigger function is invoked as a normal function. * Prevent possible collision of relfilenode numbers when moving a table to another tablespace with "ALTER SET TABLESPACE". The command tried to re-use the existing filename, instead of picking one that is known unused in the destination directory. * Fix incorrect tsearch2 headline generation when single query item matches first word of text. * Fix improper display of fractional seconds in interval values when using a non-ISO datestyle in an "--enable-integer-datetimes" build. * Ensure SPI_getvalue and SPI_getbinval behave correctly when the passed tuple and tuple descriptor have different numbers of columns. * Fix ecpg's parsing of "CREATE ROLE". * Fix recent breakage of pg_ctl restart. * Ensure "pg_control" is opened in binary mode. pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog did this incorrectly, and so could fail on Windows. * Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2008i (for DST law changes in Argentina, Brazil, Mauritius, Syria)
2008-10-06Changes 8.2.10:adam2-6/+6
Bug-fix release, see HISTORY for details.
2008-08-23Use standard OS template on IRIX. From PR 39391.joerg1-2/+1
2008-06-20Changes 8.2.9:adam3-49/+9
* Make pg_get_ruledef() parenthesize negative constants (Tom) Before this fix, a negative constant in a view or rule might be dumped as, say, -42::integer, which is subtly incorrect: it should be (-42)::integer due to operator precedence rules. Usually this would make little difference, but it could interact with another recent patch to cause PostgreSQL to reject what had been a valid "SELECT DISTINCT" view query. Since this could result in pg_dump output failing to reload, it is being treated as a high-priority fix. The only released versions in which dump output is actually incorrect are 8.3.1 and 8.2.7. * Make "ALTER AGGREGATE ... OWNER TO" update pg_shdepend (Tom) This oversight could lead to problems if the aggregate was later involved in a "DROP OWNED" or "REASSIGN OWNED" operation.
2008-06-12Add DESTDIR support.joerg1-3/+3
2008-04-05Changes 8.2.7:adam4-20/+19

2008-03-13Mark the main postgresql8[0-3] packages as meta packages.joerg1-9/+2
This avoids the problems in PR 34914.
2008-03-04Rendezvous has been renamed to Bonjouradam1-3/+3
2008-02-04Add an option for LDAP authentication as explained onghen1-1/+9
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/auth-methods.html#AUTH-LDAP
2008-01-07Changes 8.2.6:adam3-9/+9
This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.2.5, including fixes for significant security issues.
2007-10-25* If PLIST_SRC is explicitly set to an empty value in a package Makefile,jlam2-3/+2
then automatically generate a PLIST that says "${PKGNAME} has no files". * If PLIST_SRC and GENERATE_PLIST are not set in a package Makefile, and no PLIST files exist, then fail during the package build with PKG_FAIL_REASON. * Remove "intentionally empty" PLISTs again. Now, the easy way to say that a package installs no files is to just add the following to the package Makefile: PLIST_SRC= # empty
2007-10-25Re-add "intentionally empty" PLISTs for meta-packages and other packagesjlam1-0/+2
that directly manipulate empty PLISTs. Modify plist/plist.mk so that if the PLIST files are missing and no GENERATE_PLIST is defined, then the package fails to build.
2007-10-25Remove empty PLISTs from pkgsrc since revision 1.33 of plist/plist.mkjlam1-2/+0
can handle packages having no PLIST files.
2007-10-09Fix for PR#36447.adam4-53/+52
