Release 7.4.29
+
+
+
Release date
+ 2010-05-17
+
+
+ This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.4.28.
+ For information about new features in the 7.4 major release, see
+ .
+
+
+ The
PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates+ for the 7.4.X release series in July 2010.
+ Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon.
+
+
+
+
Migration to Version 7.4.29
+
+ A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X.
+ However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 7.4.26,
+ see the release notes for 7.4.26.
+
+
+
+
+
+
Changes
+
+
+
+
+ Do not allow an unprivileged user to reset superuser-only parameter
+ settings (Alvaro)
+
+
+ Previously, if an unprivileged user ran ALTER USER ... RESET
+ ALL for himself, or ALTER DATABASE ... RESET ALL for
+ a database he owns, this would remove all special parameter settings
+ for the user or database, even ones that are only supposed to be
+ changeable by a superuser. Now, the ALTER will only
+ remove the parameters that the user has permission to change.
+
+
+
+
+ Avoid possible crash during backend shutdown if shutdown occurs
+ when a CONTEXT addition would be made to log entries (Tom)
+
+
+ In some cases the context-printing function would fail because the
+ current transaction had already been rolled back when it came time
+ to print a log message.
+
+
+
+
+ Update pl/perl's ppport.h for modern Perl versions
+ (Andrew)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix assorted memory leaks in pl/python (Andreas Freund, Tom)
+
+
+
+
+ Ensure that contrib/pgstattuple functions respond to cancel
+ interrupts promptly (Tatsuhito Kasahara)
+
+
+
+
+ Make server startup deal properly with the case that
+ shmget() returns EINVAL for an existing
+ shared memory segment (Tom)
+
+
+ This behavior has been observed on BSD-derived kernels including OS X.
+ It resulted in an entirely-misleading startup failure complaining that
+ the shared memory request size was too large.
+
+

Migration to Version 8.4.4

+
+
+
+
+
+
Changes
+
+
+
+
+ Fix error during WAL replay of ALTER ... SET TABLESPACE
+ (Tom)
+
+
+ When archive_mode is on, ALTER ... SET TABLESPACE
+ generates a WAL record whose replay logic was incorrect. It could write
+ the data to the wrong place, leading to possibly-unrecoverable data
+ corruption. Data corruption would be observed on standby slaves, and
+ could occur on the master as well if a database crash and recovery
+ occurred after committing the ALTER and before the next
+ checkpoint.
+
+
+
+
+ Fix possible crash if a cache reset message is received during
+ rebuild of a relcache entry (Heikki)
+
+
+ This error was introduced in 8.4.3 while fixing a related failure.
+
+
+
+
+ Apply per-function GUC settings while running the language validator
+ for the function (Itagaki Takahiro)
+
+
+ This avoids failures if the function's code is invalid without the
+ setting; an example is that SQL functions may not parse if the
+ search_path is not correct.
+
+
+
+
+ Do constraint exclusion for inherited UPDATE and
+ DELETE target tables when
+ constraint_exclusion = partition (Tom)
+
+
+ Due to an oversight, this setting previously only caused constraint
+ exclusion to be checked in SELECT commands.
+
+
+
+
+ Do not allow an unprivileged user to reset superuser-only parameter
+ settings (Alvaro)
+
+
+ Previously, if an unprivileged user ran ALTER USER ... RESET
+ ALL for himself, or ALTER DATABASE ... RESET ALL for
+ a database he owns, this would remove all special parameter settings
+ for the user or database, even ones that are only supposed to be
+ changeable by a superuser. Now, the ALTER will only
+ remove the parameters that the user has permission to change.
+
+
+
+
+ Avoid possible crash during backend shutdown if shutdown occurs
+ when a CONTEXT addition would be made to log entries (Tom)
+
+
+ In some cases the context-printing function would fail because the
+ current transaction had already been rolled back when it came time
+ to print a log message.
+
+
+
+
+ Fix erroneous handling of %r parameter in
+ recovery_end_command (Heikki)
+
+
+ The value always came out zero.
+
+
+
+
+ Ensure the archiver process responds to changes in
+ archive_command as soon as possible (Tom)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix pl/pgsql's CASE statement to not fail when the
+ case expression is a query that returns no rows (Tom)
+
+
+
+
+ Update pl/perl's ppport.h for modern Perl versions
+ (Andrew)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix assorted memory leaks in pl/python (Andreas Freund, Tom)
+
+
+
+
+ Handle empty-string connect parameters properly in ecpg (Michael)
+
+
+
+
+ Prevent infinite recursion in
psql when expanding+ a variable that refers to itself (Tom)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix
psql's \copy to not add spaces around+ a dot within \copy (select ...) (Tom)
+
+
+ Addition of spaces around the decimal point in a numeric literal would
+ result in a syntax error.
+
+
+
+
+ Avoid formatting failure in
psql when running in a+ locale context that doesn't match the client_encoding
+ (Tom)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix unnecessary GIN indexes do not support whole-index scans
+ errors for unsatisfiable queries using contrib/intarray
+ operators (Tom)
+
+
+
+
+ Ensure that contrib/pgstattuple functions respond to cancel
+ interrupts promptly (Tatsuhito Kasahara)

+
+
+
+
+ Update the set of known Windows time zone names (Magnus)
+

+
+ Update time zone data files to
tzdata release 2010j+ for DST law changes in Argentina, Australian Antarctic, Bangladesh,
