+ Changes as of 2003-12-14
+
+ * Fixed bug in CREATE SCHEMA parsing (Michael)
+ * Fix --enable-thread-safety compile error when used with
+ --with-perl (Peter)
+ * Fix for subqueries that used hash joins (Tom)
+ Certain subqueries that used hash joins would crash because of
+ improperly shared structures.
+ * Fix free space map compaction bug (Tom)
+ This fixes a bug where compaction of the free space map could lead
+ to a database server shutdown.
+ * Fix for Borland compiler build of libpq (Bruce)
+ * Fix netmask() and hostmask() to return the maximum-length masklen
+ (Tom)
+ Fix these functions to return values consistent with pre-7.4
+ releases.
+ * Several /contrib/pg_autovacuum fixes
+ Fixes include improper variable initialization, missing vacuum
+ after TRUNCATE, and duration computation overflow for long
+ vacuums.
+ * Allow compile of /contrib/cube under Cygwin (Jason Tishler)
+ * Fix Solaris use of password file when no passwords are defined
+ (Tom)
+ Fix crash on Solaris caused by use of any type of password
+ authentication when no passwords were defined.
+ * JDBC fix for thread problems, other fixes
+ * Fix for index bytea lookups (Joe)
+ * Fix information schema for bit data types (Peter)
+ To enable this fix, an initdb is required.
+ * Force zero_damaged_pages to be on during recovery from WAL
+ * Prevent some obscure cases of "variable not in subplan target
+ lists"
+ * Make PQescapeBytea and byteaout consistent with each other (Joe)
+ * Escape bytea output for bytes > 0x7e(Joe)
+ If different client encodings are used for bytea output and input,
+ it is possible for bytea values to be corrupted by the differing
+ encodings. This fix escapes all bytes that might be affected.
+ * Added missing SPI_finish() calls to dblink's
+ get_tuple_of_interest() (Joe)
