>E.80. Release 8.0.24</A
118
> This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.0.23.

For information about new features in the 8.0 major release, see
121
HREF="release-8-0.html"
129
> community will stop releasing updates
130
for the 8.0.X release series in July 2010.
131
Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon.
139
>E.80.1. Migration to Version 8.0.24</A
142
> A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.0.X.
143
However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.0.22,
144
see the release notes for 8.0.22.
160
> Add new configuration parameter <TT
162
>ssl_renegotiation_limit</TT
164
control how often we do session key renegotiation for an SSL connection
168
> This can be set to zero to disable renegotiation completely, which may
169
be required if a broken SSL library is used. In particular, some
170
vendors are shipping stopgap patches for CVE-2009-3555 that cause
171
renegotiation attempts to fail.
176
> Fix possible crashes when trying to recover from a failure in
177
subtransaction start (Tom)
182
> Fix server memory leak associated with use of savepoints and a client
183
encoding different from server's encoding (Tom)
194
> types treat any negative
195
length as meaning <SPAN
197
>"all the rest of the string"</SPAN
201
> The previous coding treated only -1 that way, and would produce an
202
invalid result value for other negative values, possibly leading to
203
a crash (CVE-2010-0442).
208
> Fix integer-to-bit-string conversions to handle the first fractional
209
byte correctly when the output bit width is wider than the given
210
integer by something other than a multiple of 8 bits (Tom)
215
> Fix some cases of pathologically slow regular expression matching (Tom)
222
>STOP WAL LOCATION</TT
223
> entry in backup history files to
224
report the next WAL segment's name when the end location is exactly at a
225
segment boundary (Itagaki Takahiro)
233
> and related files, do not treat
237
> as a file inclusion request if the <TT
241
appears inside quote marks; also, never treat <TT
245
as a file inclusion request (Tom)
248
> This prevents erratic behavior if a role or database name starts with
252
>. If you need to include a file whose path name
253
contains spaces, you can still do so, but you must write
256
>@"/path to/file"</TT
257
> rather than putting the quotes around
263
> Prevent infinite loop on some platforms if a directory is named as
264
an inclusion target in <TT
273
> Fix plpgsql failure in one case where a composite column is set to NULL
282
> markings in PL/Python to avoid possible
283
compiler-specific misbehavior (Zdenek Kotala)
288
> Ensure PL/Tcl initializes the Tcl interpreter fully (Tom)
291
> The only known symptom of this oversight is that the Tcl
295
> command misbehaves if using Tcl 8.5 or later.
300
> Prevent crash in <TT
304
columns are specified to a <CODE
306
>dblink_build_sql_*</CODE
308
(Rushabh Lathia, Joe Conway)
313
> Fix assorted crashes in <TT
317
memory management (Tom)
322
> Update time zone data files to <SPAN
326
for DST law changes in Bangladesh, Chile, Fiji, Mexico, Paraguay, Samoa.
