AFAIK: 1. Tuple freezing and hint bits were not WAL-logged, which could lead to data corruption if database crashed after VACUUM. See recent thread titled WAL logging freezing. 2. B-tree page deletion bug, which could lead to VACUUM erroring with failed to re-find parent key message. See thread Nasty btree deletion bug: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-10/msg01373.php I assume that we also want to fix the plperl/plperlu interaction issue, especially as it will result in changed behaviour on some platforms, at least. I have asked a couple of people to look over and test the patch I posted on Sunday, but i have not had any reaction so far and feel slightly nervous about applying it. I will make some time to do more testing myself this weekend. cheers andrew ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

Please download the latest beta from:
ftp.postgresql.org:/pub/source/v8.2beta
While the mirrors themselves catch up over the next 24 hours ...
Hey Marc, this url breaks consistency with previous beta builds and with the
windows beta binaries which all use an incrementing beta version number (ie.
beta3 vs. beta). I've adjusted the links on the website to match what's
actually up there, but it might be a good idea to remove the beta2 directory
from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/ lest someone gets confused about
where to look for the most recent beta.
