Log message:
This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with replication and crash \ 
recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor issues in all versions. \ 
All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their installations at the next \ 
possible downtime. Users of older versions should update at their convenience.

The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication standbys, \ 
servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and standalone \ 
servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes unrecoverable index \ 
corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row locking operations. \ 
This can then cause query results to be inconsistent depending on whether or not \ 
an index is used, and eventually lead to primary key violations and similar \ 
issues. For this reason, users are encouraged to replace each of their standby \ 
databases with a new base backup after applying the update.

Other PostgreSQL 9.3-only fixes in this update include:

Make sure that statistics files for dropped databases get deleted
Allow materialized views to be referenced in UPDATE and DELETE queries
Add read-only data_checksum parameter
Prevent erroneous operator push-down in postgres_fdw

This release resolves some other issues in all versions of PostgreSQL, including:
Fix timing consistency issue with NOTIFY
Allow regular expression execution to be cancelled
Improve performance of index checks for newly added rows
Prevent premature walsender disconnection
Prevent memory errors on newer Windows versions
Update timezone files

Log message:
Set USE_GCC_RUNTIME=yes for packages which build shared libraries but do
not use libtool to do so.  This is required to correctly depend upon a
gcc runtime package (e.g. gcc47-libs) when using USE_PKGSRC_GCC_RUNTIME.

Log message:
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a critical update to all \ 
supported versions of the PostgreSQL database system, which includes minor \ 
versions 9.3.2, 9.2.6, 9.1.11, 9.0.15, and 8.4.19. This update fixes three \ 
serious data-loss bugs affecting replication and database maintenance. All users \ 
are urged to update their installations at the earliest opportunity.

The replication issue affects some users of PostgreSQL binary replication, and \ 
can cause minor data loss between the master and the standby. While not all \ 
users are affected, it is difficult to predict when the bug will occur, so we \ 
urge all users of replication and continuous backup (PITR) to update \ 
immediately. Additionally, users who had replication running under PostgreSQL \ 
minor versions 9.3.0, 9.3.1, 9.2.5, 9.1.10, or 9.0.14 should plan to take a \ 
fresh base backup of each standby after update, in order to ensure no prior data \ 
corruption already exists.

This release also fixes two timing issues with VACUUM, which can cause old, \ 
overwritten or deleted rows to re-appear at a later date under some \ 
circumstances. Users with very high transaction rates, particularly those who \ 
experience "transaction ID wraparound" every few weeks or less, are \ 
the most at risk for this issue. Those users should set vacuum_freeze_table_age \ 
to 0, and run a database-wide VACUUM after the update. The second of the two \ 
VACUUM issues affects only 9.3, making it expecially important for 9.3 users to \ 
update.

Like last time, where this caused no complaints.

Log message:
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security update to all \ 
current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.2.4, \ 
9.1.9, 9.0.13, and 8.4.17. This update fixes a high-exposure security \ 
vulnerability in versions 9.0 and later. All users of the affected versions are \ 
strongly urged to apply the update immediately.

A major security issue fixed in this release, CVE-2013-1899, makes it possible \ 
for a connection request containing a database name that begins with \ 
"-" to be crafted that can damage or destroy files within a server's \ 
data directory. Anyone with access to the port the PostgreSQL server listens on \ 
can initiate this request.

Two lesser security fixes are also included in this release: CVE-2013-1900, \ 
wherein random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be easy for \ 
another database user to guess, and CVE-2013-1901, which mistakenly allows an \ 
unprivileged user to run commands that could interfere with in-progress backups. \ 
Finally, this release fixes two security issues with the graphical installers \ 
for Linux and Mac OS X: insecure passing of superuser passwords to a script, \ 
CVE-2013-1903 and the use of predictable filenames in /tmp CVE-2013-1902.

Log message:
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security update to all \ 
current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.2.3, \ 
9.1.8, 9.0.12, 8.4.16, and 8.3.23. This update fixes a denial-of-service (DOS) \ 
vulnerability. All users should update their PostgreSQL installations as soon as \ 
possible.

The security issue fixed in this release, CVE-2013-0255, allows a previously \ 
authenticated user to crash the server by calling an internal function with \ 
invalid arguments. This issue was discovered by independent security researcher \ 
Sumit Soni this week and reported via Secunia SVCRP, and we are grateful for \ 
their efforts in making PostgreSQL more secure.

Today's update also fixes a performance regression which caused a decrease in \ 
throughput when using dynamic queries in stored procedures in version 9.2. \ 
Applications which use PL/pgSQL's EXECUTE are strongly affected by this \ 
regression and should be updated. Additionally, we have fixed intermittent \ 
crashes caused by CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, and multiple minor issues with \ 
replication.

This release is expected to be the final update for version 8.3, which is now \ 
End-of-Life (EOL). Users of version 8.3 should plan to upgrade to a later \ 
version of PostgreSQL immediately. For more information, see our Versioning \ 
Policy.

This update release also contains fixes for many minor issues discovered and \ 
patched by the PostgreSQL community in the last two months, including:

* Prevent unnecessary table scans during vacuuming
* Prevent spurious cached plan error in PL/pgSQL
* Allow sub-SELECTs to be subscripted
* Prevent DROP OWNED from dropping databases or tablespaces
* Make ECPG use translated messages
* Allow PL/Python to use multi-table trigger functions (again) in 9.1 and 9.2
* Fix several activity log management issues on Windows
* Prevent autovacuum file truncation from being cancelled by deadlock_timeout
* Make extensions build with the .exe suffix automatically on Windows
* Fix concurrency issues with CREATE/DROP DATABASE
* Reject out-of-range values in to_date() conversion function
* Revert cost estimation for large indexes back to pre-9.2 behavior
* Make pg_basebackup tolerate timeline switches
* Cleanup leftover temp table entries during crash recovery
* Prevent infinite loop when COPY inserts a large tuple into a table with a \ 
large fillfactor
* Prevent integer overflow in dynahash creation
* Make pg_upgrade work with INVALID indexes
* Fix bugs in TYPE privileges
* Allow Contrib installchecks to run in their own databases
* Many documentation updates
* Add new timezone "FET".
