      Adjust back-branch release note description of commits a2a718b2 et al. · c6ab1782
      Tom Lane authored
      As pointed out by Michael Paquier, recovery_min_apply_delay didn't exist
      in 9.0-9.3, making the release note text not very useful.  Instead make it
      talk about recovery_target_xid, which did exist then.
      
      9.0 is already out of support, but we can fix the text in the newer
      branches' copies of its release notes.

      Improve cross-references between minor version release notes. · 22fce59a
      Tom Lane authored
      We have a practice of providing a "bread crumb" trail between the minor
      versions where the migration section actually tells you to do something.
      Historically that was just plain text, eg, "see the release notes for
      9.2.4"; but if you're using a browser or PDF reader, it's a lot nicer
      if it's a live hyperlink.  So use "<xref>" instead.  Any argument against
      doing this vanished with the recent decommissioning of plain-text release
      notes.

      Prevent execution of enum_recv() from SQL. · 1180844f
      Tom Lane authored
      This function was misdeclared to take cstring when it should take internal.
      This at least allows crashing the server, and in principle an attacker
      might be able to use the function to examine the contents of server memory.
      
      The correct fix is to adjust the system catalog contents (and fix the
      regression tests that should have caught this but failed to).  However,
      asking users to correct the catalog contents in existing installations
      is a pain, so as a band-aid fix for the back branches, install a check
      in enum_recv() to make it throw error if called with a cstring argument.
      We will later revert this in HEAD in favor of correcting the catalogs.
      
      Our thanks to Sumit Soni (via Secunia SVCRP) for reporting this issue.

      Revert patch for taking fewer snapshots. · 786afc1c
      Tom Lane authored
      This reverts commit d573e239, "Take fewer
      snapshots".  While that seemed like a good idea at the time, it caused
      execution to use a snapshot that had been acquired before locking any of
      the tables mentioned in the query.  This created user-visible anomalies
      that were not present in any prior release of Postgres, as reported by
      Tomas Vondra.  While this whole area could do with a redesign (since there
      are related cases that have anomalies anyway), it doesn't seem likely that
      any future patch would be reasonably back-patchable; and we don't want 9.2
      to exhibit a behavior that's subtly unlike either past or future releases.
      Hence, revert to prior code while we rethink the problem.
