For information about new features in the 8.2 major release, see

>E.38.1. Migration to Version 8.2.15</A
134
> A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.2.X.
135
However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.2.14,
136
see the release notes for 8.2.14.
152
> Protect against indirect security threats caused by index functions
153
changing session-local state (Gurjeet Singh, Tom)
156
> This change prevents allegedly-immutable index functions from possibly
157
subverting a superuser's session (CVE-2009-4136).
162
> Reject SSL certificates containing an embedded null byte in the common
163
name (CN) field (Magnus)
166
> This prevents unintended matching of a certificate to a server or client
167
name during SSL validation (CVE-2009-4034).
172
> Fix possible crash during backend-startup-time cache initialization (Tom)
177
> Prevent signals from interrupting <TT
184
> This fix prevents a PANIC if a <TT
188
after it's already committed its tuple movements, as well as transient
189
errors if a plain <TT
192
> is interrupted after having
198
> Fix possible crash due to integer overflow in hash table size
202
> This could occur with extremely large planner estimates for the size of
208
> Fix very rare crash in <TT
220
> Ensure that shared tuple-level locks held by prepared transactions are
226
> Fix premature drop of temporary files used for a cursor that is accessed
227
within a subtransaction (Heikki)
232
> Fix incorrect logic for GiST index page splits, when the split depends
233
on a non-first column of the index (Paul Ramsey)
238
> Don't error out if recycling or removing an old WAL file fails at the
239
end of checkpoint (Heikki)
242
> It's better to treat the problem as non-fatal and allow the checkpoint
243
to complete. Future checkpoints will retry the removal. Such problems
244
are not expected in normal operation, but have been seen to be
245
caused by misdesigned Windows anti-virus and backup software.
250
> Ensure WAL files aren't repeatedly archived on Windows (Heikki)
253
> This is another symptom that could happen if some other process
254
interfered with deletion of a no-longer-needed file.
259
> Fix PAM password processing to be more robust (Tom)
262
> The previous code is known to fail with the combination of the Linux
266
> PAM module with Microsoft Active Directory as the
267
domain controller. It might have problems elsewhere too, since it was
268
making unjustified assumptions about what arguments the PAM stack would
274
> Fix processing of ownership dependencies during <TT
283
> Fix bug with calling <TT
293
> An error exit from the inner function could result in crashes due to
294
failure to re-select the correct Perl interpreter for the outer function.
299
> Fix session-lifespan memory leak when a PL/Perl function is redefined
305
> Ensure that Perl arrays are properly converted to
309
> arrays when returned by a set-returning
310
PL/Perl function (Andrew Dunstan, Abhijit Menon-Sen)
313
> This worked correctly already for non-set-returning functions.
318
> Fix rare crash in exception processing in PL/Python (Peter)
326
>'s flex module is compiled with the correct
327
system header definitions (Tom)
330
> This fixes build failures on platforms where
333
>--enable-largefile</TT
334
> causes incompatible changes in the
340
> Make the postmaster ignore any <TT
342
>application_name</TT
344
connection request packets, to improve compatibility with future libpq
350
> Update the timezone abbreviation files to match current reality (Joachim
354
> This includes adding <TT
361
timezone abbreviation set.
366
> Update time zone data files to <SPAN
370
for DST law changes in Antarctica, Argentina, Bangladesh, Fiji,
371
Novokuznetsk, Pakistan, Palestine, Samoa, Syria; also historical
372
corrections for Hong Kong.
