E.302. Release 7.2.6

Release date: 2004-10-22

This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.2.5.

E.302.1. Migration to Version 7.2.6

A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.2.X.

E.302.2. Changes

  • Repair possible failure to update hint bits on disk

    Under rare circumstances this oversight could lead to « could not access transaction status » failures, which qualifies it as a potential-data-loss bug.

  • Ensure that hashed outer join does not miss tuples

    Very large left joins using a hash join plan could fail to output unmatched left-side rows given just the right data distribution.

  • Disallow running pg_ctl as root

    This is to guard against any possible security issues.

  • Avoid using temp files in /tmp in make_oidjoins_check

    This has been reported as a security issue, though it's hardly worthy of concern since there is no reason for non-developers to use this script anyway.

  • Update to newer versions of Bison
