   This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.3.4.
   For information about new features in the 8.3 major release, see
   <a class="xref" href="release-8-3.html" title="E.205. Release 8.3">Section E.205</a>.

    A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.3.X.
    However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.3.1,
    see <a class="xref" href="release-8-3-1.html" title="E.204. Release 8.3.1">Section E.204</a>.  Also, if you were running a previous
    8.3.X release, it is recommended to <code class="command">REINDEX</code> all GiST
    indexes after the upgrade.

      Fix GiST index corruption due to marking the wrong index entry
      <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">dead</span>”</span> after a deletion (Teodor)
     </p><p>
      This would result in index searches failing to find rows they
      should have found.  Corrupted indexes can be fixed with
      <code class="command">REINDEX</code>.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix backend crash when the client encoding cannot represent a localized
      error message (Tom)
     </p><p>
      We have addressed similar issues before, but it would still fail if
      the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">character has no equivalent</span>”</span> message itself couldn't
      be converted.  The fix is to disable localization and send the plain
      ASCII error message when we detect such a situation.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix possible crash in <code class="type">bytea</code>-to-XML mapping (Michael McMaster)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix possible crash when deeply nested functions are invoked from
      a trigger (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Improve optimization of <em class="replaceable"><code>expression</code></em> <code class="literal">IN</code>
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>expression-list</code></em>) queries (Tom, per an idea from Robert
      Haas)
     </p><p>
      Cases in which there are query variables on the right-hand side had been
      handled less efficiently in 8.2.x and 8.3.x than in prior versions.
      The fix restores 8.1 behavior for such cases.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix mis-expansion of rule queries when a sub-<code class="literal">SELECT</code> appears
      in a function call in <code class="literal">FROM</code>,  a multi-row <code class="literal">VALUES</code>
      list, or a <code class="literal">RETURNING</code> list (Tom)
     </p><p>
      The usual symptom of this problem is an <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">unrecognized node type</span>”</span>
      error.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix Assert failure during rescan of an <code class="literal">IS NULL</code>
      search of a GiST index (Teodor)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix memory leak during rescan of a hashed aggregation plan (Neil)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Ensure an error is reported when a newly-defined PL/pgSQL trigger
      function is invoked as a normal function (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Force a checkpoint before <code class="command">CREATE DATABASE</code> starts to copy
      files (Heikki)
     </p><p>
      This prevents a possible failure if files had recently been deleted
      in the source database.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Prevent possible collision of <code class="structfield">relfilenode</code> numbers
      when moving a table to another tablespace with <code class="command">ALTER SET
      TABLESPACE</code> (Heikki)
     </p><p>
      The command tried to re-use the existing filename, instead of
      picking one that is known unused in the destination directory.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix incorrect text search headline generation when single query
      item matches first word of text (Sushant Sinha)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix improper display of fractional seconds in interval values when
      using a non-ISO datestyle in an <code class="option">--enable-integer-datetimes</code>
      build (Ron Mayer)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Make <code class="literal">ILIKE</code> compare characters case-insensitively
      even when they're escaped (Andrew)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Ensure <code class="command">DISCARD</code> is handled properly by statement logging (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix incorrect logging of last-completed-transaction time during
      PITR recovery (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Ensure <code class="function">SPI_getvalue</code> and <code class="function">SPI_getbinval</code>
      behave correctly when the passed tuple and tuple descriptor have
      different numbers of columns (Tom)
     </p><p>
      This situation is normal when a table has had columns added or removed,
      but these two functions didn't handle it properly.
      The only likely consequence is an incorrect error indication.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Mark <code class="varname">SessionReplicationRole</code> as <code class="literal">PGDLLIMPORT</code>
      so it can be used by <span class="application">Slony</span> on Windows (Magnus)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix small memory leak when using <span class="application">libpq</span>'s
      <code class="literal">gsslib</code> parameter (Magnus)
     </p><p>
      The space used by the parameter string was not freed at connection
      close.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Ensure <span class="application">libgssapi</span> is linked into <span class="application">libpq</span>
      if needed (Markus Schaaf)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix <span class="application">ecpg</span>'s parsing of <code class="command">CREATE ROLE</code> (Michael)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix recent breakage of <code class="literal">pg_ctl restart</code> (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Ensure <code class="filename">pg_control</code> is opened in binary mode
      (Itagaki Takahiro)
     </p><p>
      <span class="application">pg_controldata</span> and <span class="application">pg_resetxlog</span>
      did this incorrectly, and so could fail on Windows.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Update time zone data files to <span class="application">tzdata</span> release 2008i (for
      DST law changes in Argentina, Brazil, Mauritius, Syria)
     </p></li></ul></div></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="release-8-3-6.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="release.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="release-8-3-4.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">E.199. Release 8.3.6 </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> E.201. Release 8.3.4</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
