Log message:
This release fixes a significant page ordering issue with Hot Standby which \ 
could cause index corruption on the standby under some circumstances. In \ 
addition, this update patches timing issues with checkpoint and transaction ID \ 
wraparound which could cause data corruption in some cases. Today's update also \ 
fixes multiple issues with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and DROP INDEX \ 
CONCURRENTLY, which can cause those commands to fail or produce corrupt indexes. \ 
Users who use this feature may want to REINDEX or recreate affected indexes (see \ 
below).

This update release also contains fixes for many minor issues discovered and \ 
patched by the PostgreSQL community in the last month, including several fixes \ 
which are specific to version 9.2. These include:

* Prevent psql crash due to incorrectly encoded input data
* Fix pg_regress gmake build issues
* Make sure correct directory is created for extensions
* Fix some issues with buffer locks and VACUUM
* Multiple fixes and improvements for pg_upgrade
* Fix bugs with end-of-recovery when failing over to a standby
* Avoid bogus "out-of-sequence timeline ID" errors in standby-mode
* Don't launch new child processes during shutdown
* Improve the ability of JOINs to use partial indexes
* Fix assorted integer overflow errors
* Eliminate memory leaks in record_out() and record_send()
* Skip searching for subtransaction logs at COMMIT
* Fix WaitLatch() timing issues
* Fix handling of inherited check constraints in ALTER COLUMN TYPE
* Make ALTER EXTENSION SET SCHEMA behave as documented
* Have SEQUENCE SET statements in the "data" section of sectional dumps
* Prevent parser from believing that VIEWs have system columns
* Fix --clean mode for pg_dump
* Prevent hash table corruption on out-of-memory
* Various query planner and executor fixes and improvements
* Multiple documentation updates
* DST updates for seven timezones

Log message:
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all current \ 
versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including 9.2.1, 9.1.6, 9.0.10, \ 
8.4.14 and 8.3.21. This update fixes critical issues for major versions 9.1 and \ 
9.2, and users running those versions should apply it as soon as possible. Users \ 
of versions 8.3, 8.4 and 9.0 should plan to update at the next scheduled \ 
downtime.

The update fixes two potential data corruption issues present in the PostgreSQL \ 
9.1 and 9.2 for any server which has crashed, been shutdown with \ 
"immediate", or was failed over to a standby. First, the PostgreSQL \ 
development team has discovered a chance of corruption of BTREE and GIN indexes \ 
for databases. Second, there is a significant chance of corruption of the \ 
visibility map. This update fixes both issues.

We strongly advise users of 9.1 and 9.2 to run VACUUM and/or index rebuilds \ 
after applying the update. Please see the 2012-09-24 Update wiki page for \ 
detailed instructions.

This update release also contains fixes for many minor issues discovered and \ 
patched by the PostgreSQL community in the last month, including many fixes for \ 
the newly released version 9.2. These include:

fix sorting issue with IN lists and indexes
fix planner failure when combining GROUP BY with window functions
improve selectivity of text searches using prefixes
prevent rescanning of WITH clauses from giving wrong answers
fix PL/Perl crashing issue
reduce bloat for multi-column GiST indexes
time zone data changes for Fiji
disallow Extensions from circular schema assignment
prevent crashes when default_transaction_isolation is set to "serializable"
several minor fixes to pg_upgrade
