These updates include two serious fixes, for autovacuum crashes in version 8.1 and GiST indexing data loss in 8.3, and those two versions should be updated as soon as possible. These update releases also include patches for several low-risk security holes, as well as up to 17 other minor fixes, depending on your major version of PostgreSQL. Included as well are Daylight Savings Time changes for Nepal, Switzerland and Cuba. See the release notes for full details. The first serious issue affects users who are using version 8.1 with Autovacuum, which will fail when XID rollover is required. The second serious issue can cause data loss when CLUSTER is used with GiST indexes (such as full text indexes) on version 8.3. Both issues are fixed in these releases. 2008-11-07T18:07:50Z Palle Girgensohn girgen@FreeBSD.org 2008-11-07T18:07:50Z urn:sha1:1c63d5a340ebb83fbf2719eb96101c82cbc22c0e 2008-11-07T09:49:49Z Palle Girgensohn girgen@FreeBSD.org 2008-11-07T09:49:49Z urn:sha1:978e3de48fd8491061803765cdc592ab234edd46 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-8-3-5.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-8-2-11.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-8-1-15.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-8-0-19.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-7-4-23.html Note that the GiST problem mentioned does not apply to users of the FreeBSD port, since the previous version of PostgreSQL never reached the ports tree, due to the freeze of the tree pending the FreeBSD 7.1 update.
