PostgreSQL 6.3p1 Sun Mar 22 00:19:35 EST 1998
-------------------------------------------------------------
A dump/restore is NOT required for those running 6.3. A 'make clean',
'make', and 'make install' is all that is required. You may want to
re-link your any custom applications that use PostgreSQL libraries.
