+ Changes
+
+
+
+
+
+ Prevent error recursion crashes when encoding conversion fails (Tom)
+
+
+
+ This change extends fixes made in the last two minor releases for
+ related failure scenarios. The previous fixes were narrowly tailored
+ for the original problem reports, but we have now recognized that
+ any error thrown by an encoding conversion function could
+ potentially lead to infinite recursion while trying to report the
+ error. The solution therefore is to disable translation and encoding
+ conversion and report the plain-ASCII form of any error message,
+ if we find we have gotten into a recursive error reporting situation.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Disallow CREATE CONVERSION with the wrong encodings
+ for the specified conversion function (Heikki)
+
+
+
+ This prevents one possible scenario for encoding conversion failure.
+ The previous change is a backstop to guard against other kinds of
+ failures in the same area.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix core dump when to_char() is given format codes that
+ are inappropriate for the type of the data argument (Tom)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix possible failure in contrib/tsearch2 when C locale is
+ used with a multi-byte encoding (Teodor)
+
+
+
+ Crashes were possible on platforms where wchar_t is narrower
+ than int; Windows in particular.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix extreme inefficiency in contrib/tsearch2 parser's
+ handling of an email-like string containing multiple @
+ characters (Heikki)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix decompilation of CASE WHEN with an implicit coercion
+ (Tom)
+
+
+
+ This mistake could lead to Assert failures in an Assert-enabled build,
+ or an unexpected CASE WHEN clause error message in other
+ cases, when trying to examine or dump a view.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix possible misassignment of the owner of a TOAST table's rowtype (Tom)
+
+
+
+ If CLUSTER or a rewriting variant of ALTER TABLE
+ were executed by someone other than the table owner, the
+ pg_type entry for the table's TOAST table would end up
+ marked as owned by that someone. This caused no immediate problems,
+ since the permissions on the TOAST rowtype aren't examined by any
+ ordinary database operation. However, it could lead to unexpected
+ failures if one later tried to drop the role that issued the command
+ (in 8.1 or 8.2), or owner of data type appears to be invalid
+ warnings from pg_dump after having done so (in 8.3).
+
+
+
+
+
+ Fix PL/pgSQL to not treat INTO after INSERT as
+ an INTO-variables clause anywhere in the string, not only at the start;
+ in particular, don't fail for INSERT INTO within
+ CREATE RULE (Tom)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Clean up PL/pgSQL error status variables fully at block exit
+ (Ashesh Vashi and Dave Page)
+
+
+
+ This is not a problem for PL/pgSQL itself, but the omission could cause
+ the PL/pgSQL Debugger to crash while examining the state of a function.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Retry failed calls to CallNamedPipe() on Windows
+ (Steve Marshall, Magnus)
+
+
+
+ It appears that this function can sometimes fail transiently;
+ we previously treated any failure as a hard error, which could
+ confuse LISTEN/NOTIFY as well as other
+ operations.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Add MUST (Mauritius Island Summer Time) to the default list
+ of known timezone abbreviations (Xavier Bugaud)
