@ -14,6 +14,15 @@ Major changes in this release:
access during the VACUUM. A new VACUUM FULL command does old-style
vacuum by locking the table and shrinking the on-disk copy of the table.
Transactions - There is no longer a problem with installations
that exceed four billion transactions.
OID's - OID's are now optional. Users can now create tables
without OID's for cases where OID usage is excessive.
Optimizer - The system now computes histogram column statistics
during ANALYZE, allowing much better optimizer choices.
Security - A new MD5 encryption option allows much more secure
storage and transfer of passwords. A new unix-domain socket
authentication option is available on Linux and *BSD systems.
