The <productname>PostgreSQL</> community will stop releasing updates
|
||||||

for the 8.4.X release series in July 2014.
|

Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon.

However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.4.19,

see <xref linkend="release-8-4-19">.

Restore GIN metapages unconditionally to avoid torn-page risk
|
||||||
|
(Heikki Linnakangas)
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Although this oversight could theoretically result in a corrupted
|
||||||
|
index, it is unlikely to have caused any problems in practice, since
|
||||||
|
the active part of a GIN metapage is smaller than a standard 512-byte
|
||||||
|
disk sector.

Allow regular-expression operators to be terminated early by query

|
cancel requests (Tom Lane)
|

|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|

|
This prevents scenarios wherein a pathological regular expression
|
||||||
|
could lock up a server process uninterruptably for a long time.

Remove incorrect code that tried to allow <literal>OVERLAPS</> with
|
||||||
|
single-element row arguments (Joshua Yanovski)
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
This code never worked correctly, and since the case is neither
|
||||||
|
specified by the SQL standard nor documented, it seemed better to
|
||||||
|
remove it than fix it.

Avoid getting more than <literal>AccessShareLock</> when de-parsing a
|
||||||
|
rule or view (Dean Rasheed)
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
This oversight resulted in <application>pg_dump</> unexpectedly
|
||||||
|
acquiring <literal>RowExclusiveLock</> locks on tables mentioned as
|
||||||
|
the targets of <literal>INSERT</>/<literal>UPDATE</>/<literal>DELETE</>
|
||||||
|
commands in rules. While usually harmless, that could interfere with
|
||||||
|
concurrent transactions that tried to acquire, for example,
|
||||||
|
<literal>ShareLock</> on those tables.

Prevent interrupts while reporting non-<literal>ERROR</> messages

(Tom Lane)
|

</para>
|

|

<para>

This guards against rare server-process freezeups due to recursive

entry to <function>syslog()</>, and perhaps other related problems.
