- and their check constraints properly (Tom)
+ Fix WAL page header initialization at the end of archive recovery
+ (Heikki)
- pg_dump --binary-upgrade is used by pg_migrator.
+ This could lead to failure to process the WAL in a subsequent

- Fix pg_dump --binary-upgrade to handle pg_largeobject frozen xid value
- (Bruce)
+ Fix cannot make new WAL entries during recovery error (Tom)
- Allow parentheses around the WITH query expression
- body (Tom)

- Treat to_char(..., 'TH') as an uppercase ordinal
- suffix with 'HH'/'HH12' (Heikki)
+ Disallow RESET ROLE and RESET SESSION
+ AUTHORIZATION inside security-definer functions (Tom, Heikki)
- It was previously handled as 'th' (lowercase).
+ This covers a case that was missed in the previous patch that

+ AUTHORIZATION inside security-definer functions.
+ (See CVE-2007-6600)
- Fix locale handling with plperl (Heikki)
+ Make LOAD of an already-loaded loadable module
+ into a no-op (Tom)
- This bug could cause the servers locale to change, leading to
- data corruption.
+ Formerly, LOAD would attempt to unload and re-load the
+ module, but this is unsafe and not all that useful.
- Fix /contrib/xml2 xslt_process() to
- properly handle the maximum number of parameters (twenty) (Tom)
+ Make window function PARTITION BY and ORDER BY
+ items always be interpreted as simple expressions (Tom)
+
+
+ In 8.4.0 these lists were parsed following the rules used for

+ But this was not correct per the SQL standard, and it led to possible
+ circularity.
- Remove translated FAQs (Peter)
+ Fix several errors in planning of semi-joins (Tom)
- They are now on the
- url="http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ">wiki. The

+
+
+ Fix handling of whole-row references to subqueries that are within

+
+
+ An example is
+ SELECT COUNT(ss.*) FROM ... LEFT JOIN (SELECT ...) ss ON ....
+ Here, ss.* would be treated as ROW(NULL,NULL,...)

+ Now it is treated as a simple NULL.

+ This bug led to the often-reported could not reattach
+ to shared memory error message.

+ Fix locale handling with plperl (Heikki)
+
+
+ This bug could cause the server's locale setting to change when a

pg_ctl smart shutdown was already in- progress (Fujii Masao)
+ Fix handling of reloptions to ensure setting one option doesn't

- Fix problem where Win32 shared memory allocation sometimes failed on
- startup (Tsutomu Yamada, Magnus)

+ Include the fractional part in the result of
+ EXTRACT(second) and
+ EXTRACT(milliseconds) for
+ time and time with time zone inputs (Tom)
- This is particularly useful for
- url="http://postgis.refractions.net/">PostGIS.
+ This has always worked for floating-point datetime configurations,

+ when x is more than 2 million and integer
+ datetimes are in use (Alex Hunsaker)
- Fix problem where expired rows could appear visible after a crash (Tom)
