E.143.1. Migration to Version 7.4.10

A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 7.4.8, see Section E.145, « Release 7.4.8 ».

E.143.2. Changes

  • Fix race condition in transaction log management

    There was a narrow window in which an I/O operation could be initiated for the wrong page, leading to an Assert failure or data corruption.

  • Prevent failure if client sends Bind protocol message when current transaction is already aborted

  • /contrib/ltree fixes (Teodor)

  • AIX and HPUX compile fixes (Tom)

  • Fix longstanding planning error for outer joins

    This bug sometimes caused a bogus error « RIGHT JOIN is only supported with merge-joinable join conditions ».

  • Prevent core dump in pg_autovacuum when a table has been dropped
