Fix crash with SELECT
... LIMIT ALL
(also
LIMIT NULL
) (Tom)
Several /contrib/tsearch2
fixes (Teodor)
On Windows, make log messages coming from the operating system use ASCII encoding (Hiroshi Saito)
This fixes a conversion problem when there is a mismatch between the encoding of the operating system and database server.
Fix Windows linking of pg_dump using
win32.mak
(Hiroshi Saito)
Fix planner mistakes for outer join queries (Tom)
Fix several problems in queries involving sub-SELECTs (Tom)
Fix potential crash in SPI during subtransaction abort (Tom)
This affects all PL functions since they all use SPI.
Improve build speed of PDF documentation (Peter)
Re-add JST (Japan) timezone abbreviation (Tom)
Improve optimization decisions related to index scans (Tom)
Have psql print multi-byte combining characters as
before, rather than output as \u
(Tom)
Improve index usage of regular expressions that use parentheses (Tom)
This improves psql \d
performance also.
Make pg_dumpall assume that databases have public
CONNECT
privilege, when dumping from a pre-8.2 server (Tom)
This preserves the previous behavior that anyone can connect to a
database if allowed by pg_hba.conf
