Release 9.1.21
+
+
+
Release Date
+ 2016-03-31

+ For information about new features in the 9.1 major release, see
+ .
+
+
+
+
Migration to Version 9.1.21
+
+ A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.1.X.

+
+
Changes
+
+
+
+
+ Fix incorrect handling of NULL index entries in
+ indexed ROW() comparisons (Tom Lane)
+
+
+ An index search using a row comparison such as ROW(a, b) >
+ ROW('x', 'y') would stop upon reaching a NULL entry in
+ the b column, ignoring the fact that there might be
+ non-NULL b values associated with later values
+ of a.
+
+
+
+
+ Avoid unlikely data-loss scenarios due to renaming files without
+ adequate fsync() calls before and after (Michael Paquier,
+ Tomas Vondra, Andres Freund)
+
+
+
+
+ Correctly handle cases where pg_subtrans is close to XID
+ wraparound during server startup (Jeff Janes)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix corner-case crash due to trying to free localeconv()
+ output strings more than once (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix parsing of affix files for ispell dictionaries
+ (Tom Lane)
+
+
+ The code could go wrong if the affix file contained any characters
+ whose byte length changes during case-folding, for
+ example I in Turkish UTF8 locales.
+
+
+
+
+ Avoid use of sscanf() to parse ispell
+ dictionary files (Artur Zakirov)
+
+
+ This dodges a portability problem on FreeBSD-derived platforms
+ (including OS X).
+
+
+
+
+ Avoid a crash on old Windows versions (before 7SP1/2008R2SP1) with an
+ AVX2-capable CPU and a Postgres build done with Visual Studio 2013
+ (Christian Ullrich)
+
+
+ This is a workaround for a bug in Visual Studio 2013's runtime
+ library, which Microsoft have stated they will not fix in that
+ version.
+
+
+
+
+ Fix
psql's tab completion logic to handle multibyte+ characters properly (Kyotaro Horiguchi, Robert Haas)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix
psql's tab completion for+ SECURITY LABEL (Tom Lane)
+
+
+ Pressing TAB after SECURITY LABEL might cause a crash
+ or offering of inappropriate keywords.
+
+
+
+
+ Make
pg_ctl accept a wait timeout from the+ PGCTLTIMEOUT environment variable, if none is specified on
+ the command line (Noah Misch)
+
+
+ This eases testing of slower buildfarm members by allowing them
+ to globally specify a longer-than-normal timeout for postmaster
+ startup and shutdown.
+
+
+
+
+ Fix incorrect test for Windows service status
+ in
pg_ctl (Manuel Mathar)+
+
+ The previous set of minor releases attempted to
+ fix
pg_ctl to properly determine whether to send log+ messages to Window's Event Log, but got the test backwards.
+
+
+
+
+ Fix
pgbench to correctly handle the combination+ of -C and -M prepared options (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+ In PL/Perl, properly translate empty Postgres arrays into empty Perl
+ arrays (Alex Hunsaker)
+
+
+
+
+ Make PL/Python cope with function names that aren't valid Python
+ identifiers (Jim Nasby)
+
+
+
+
+ Fix multiple mistakes in the statistics returned
+ by contrib/pgstattuple's pgstatindex()
+ function (Tom Lane)
+
+
+
+
+ Remove dependency on psed in MSVC builds, since it's no
+ longer provided by core Perl (Michael Paquier, Andrew Dunstan)
+
+
+
+
+ Update time zone data files to
tzdata release 2016c+ for DST law changes in Azerbaijan, Chile, Haiti, Palestine, and Russia
+ (Altai, Astrakhan, Kirov, Sakhalin, Ulyanovsk regions), plus
+ historical corrections for Lithuania, Moldova, and Russia
+ (Kaliningrad, Samara, Volgograd).

+
+ Ignore parameter until

+
+
+ Previously, standby servers would delay application of WAL records in

+ incorrect reports of subxact logged without previous toplevel
