Re: [HACKERS] Time to package 8.2.4
We have had several customers get bit by the 8.2.3 stats collector bug. It is also starting to get reported in areas such as IRC. The really bad thing about this bug is that you won't know what is wrong unless you know where to look, PostgreSQL will just appear slow and tying up resources. I reiterate the question. Can we please package 8.2.4. Joshua D.

If my putting together a changes list will help with that. I will do so. I would assume that would be a big help, especially given that Bruce is busy with the patch queue right now. There is another point to putting it out fairly soon - we're entering feature freeze, and most devs would likely want to focus on 8.3 at that time. Probably a good thing to get 8.2.4 out before that (which really means we should've started a couple of weeks back, but hey, we can't have everything) //Magnus ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

(Teodor) * Fixed bug in JOIN logic for planning OUTER JOINS. (Tom) * Disallow commiting prepared transactions from a different database in which the transaction was initiated (Heikki) * Improve handling of psuedoconstants (Tom) * Resolved bug with clauseless JOINS and subqueries. (Tom) * Fixed problem in 8.2 changes that allowed one-time qual conditions to be checked at plan levels below the top. (Tom) * Adjust is_pushed_down to work correctly with INNER JOINS. (Tom) * Fixed old bug in portal management for FETCH queries. (Tom) * Allow Win32 pg_dump to create files larger than 2GB (Magnus) * Made markQueryForLocking() work with nested views. (Tom) * Fix miscalculation of stats collector's write delay. (Tom) * Fix inline_function() to work with binary compatible cases. (Tom) * Allow cube data type to be correctly toastable.

(Magnus) * Fix race condition in pg_database_size and pg_tablespace_size. (Alvaro) * Allow POSIX-style timezones that don't exactly many any timezone database entry to be treated as having correct USA DST rules. (Tom) * Fix longstanding bug with VACUUM FULL handling of update chains. (Tom) * Fixed uninitialized value in pgstatindex that caused invalid values to be reported in some cases (Tatsuhito Kasahara) * Insure that read-only queries are truly read-only with SPI_cursor_open. (Tom) * Fixed 8.2 breakage of domains over array types. (Tom) * Fixed parser bug (tsearch2) with UTF8 and C locales on Win32.
