version of the database system, including versions 9.3.4, 9.2.8, 9.1.13,
9.0.17, and 8.4.21. This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with
replication and crash recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor
issues in all versions. All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their
installations at the next possible downtime. Users of older versions should
update at their convenience.
The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication
standbys, servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and
standalone servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes
unrecoverable index corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row
locking operations. This can then cause query results to be inconsistent
depending on whether or not an index is used, and eventually lead to primary
key violations and similar issues. For this reason, users are encouraged to
replace each of their standby databases with a new base backup after applying
the update.

A change specific to the FreeBSD port:
Modify the contrib/uuid-ossp to actually work (not crashing the backend) by
using the libc implementation of uuid instead of the ossp port. Schemas and
queries will just work. Based on the work of Andrew Gierth. 9.1+ EXTENSION
support added by girgen@.
