Instead of changing the tuple xmin to FrozenTransactionId, the combination of HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED and HEAP_XMIN_INVALID, which were previously never set together, is now defined as HEAP_XMIN_FROZEN. A variety of previous proposals to freeze tuples opportunistically before vacuum_freeze_min_age is reached have foundered on the objection that replacing xmin by FrozenTransactionId might hinder debugging efforts when things in this area go awry; this patch is intended to solve that problem by keeping the XID around (but largely ignoring the value to which it is set). Third-party code that checks for HEAP_XMIN_INVALID on tuples where HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED might be set will be broken by this change. To fix, use the new accessor macros in htup_details.h rather than consulting the bits directly. HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin has been modified to return FrozenTransactionId when the infomask bits indicate that the tuple is frozen; use HeapTupleHeaderGetRawXmin when you already know that the tuple isn't marked commited or frozen, or want the raw value anyway. We currently do this in routines that display the xmin for user consumption, in tqual.c where it's known to be safe and important for the avoidance of extra cycles, and in the function-caching code for various procedural languages, which shouldn't invalidate the cache just because the tuple gets frozen.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
