   This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.1.13.
   For information about new features in the 8.1 major release, see
   <a class="xref" href="release-8-1.html" title="E.253. Release 8.1">Section E.253</a>.

    A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.1.X.
    However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.1.2,
    see <a class="xref" href="release-8-1-2.html" title="E.251. Release 8.1.2">Section E.251</a>.

      Widen local lock counters from 32 to 64 bits (Tom)
     </p><p>
      This responds to reports that the counters could overflow in
      sufficiently long transactions, leading to unexpected <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">lock is
      already held</span>”</span> errors.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix possible duplicate output of tuples during a GiST index scan (Teodor)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Add checks in executor startup to ensure that the tuples produced by an
      <code class="command">INSERT</code> or <code class="command">UPDATE</code> will match the target table's
      current rowtype (Tom)
     </p><p>
      <code class="command">ALTER COLUMN TYPE</code>, followed by re-use of a previously
      cached plan, could produce this type of situation.  The check protects
      against data corruption and/or crashes that could ensue.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix <code class="literal">AT TIME ZONE</code> to first try to interpret its timezone
      argument as a timezone abbreviation, and only try it as a full timezone
      name if that fails, rather than the other way around as formerly (Tom)
     </p><p>
      The timestamp input functions have always resolved ambiguous zone names
      in this order.  Making <code class="literal">AT TIME ZONE</code> do so as well improves
      consistency, and fixes a compatibility bug introduced in 8.1:
      in ambiguous cases we now behave the same as 8.0 and before did,
      since in the older versions <code class="literal">AT TIME ZONE</code> accepted
      <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span> abbreviations.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix datetime input functions to correctly detect integer overflow when
      running on a 64-bit platform (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Improve performance of writing very long log messages to syslog (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix bug in backwards scanning of a cursor on a <code class="literal">SELECT DISTINCT
      ON</code> query (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix planner bug with nested sub-select expressions (Tom)
     </p><p>
      If the outer sub-select has no direct dependency on the parent query,
      but the inner one does, the outer value might not get recalculated
      for new parent query rows.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix planner to estimate that <code class="literal">GROUP BY</code> expressions yielding
      boolean results always result in two groups, regardless of the
      expressions' contents (Tom)
     </p><p>
      This is very substantially more accurate than the regular <code class="literal">GROUP
      BY</code> estimate for certain boolean tests like <em class="replaceable"><code>col</code></em>
      <code class="literal">IS NULL</code>.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix PL/pgSQL to not fail when a <code class="literal">FOR</code> loop's target variable
      is a record containing composite-type fields (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix PL/Tcl to behave correctly with Tcl 8.5, and to be more careful
      about the encoding of data sent to or from Tcl (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix PL/Python to work with Python 2.5
     </p><p>
      This is a back-port of fixes made during the 8.2 development cycle.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Improve <span class="application">pg_dump</span> and <span class="application">pg_restore</span>'s
      error reporting after failure to send a SQL command (Tom)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Fix <span class="application">pg_ctl</span> to properly preserve postmaster
      command-line arguments across a <code class="literal">restart</code> (Bruce)
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      Update time zone data files to <span class="application">tzdata</span> release 2008f (for
      DST law changes in Argentina, Bahamas, Brazil, Mauritius, Morocco,
      Pakistan, Palestine, and Paraguay)
