| | 2018-02-08 Security Update Release
==================================
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 10.2, 9.6.7, 9.5.11, 9.4.16, 9.3.21.
This release fixes two security issues. This release also fixes issues with
VACUUM, GIN indexes, and hash indexes that could lead to data corruption, as
well as fixes for using parallel queries and logical replication.
All users using the affected versions of PostgreSQL should update as soon as
possible. Please see the notes on "Updating" below for any post-update steps
that may be required.
Please note that PostgreSQL changed its versioning scheme with the release of
version 10.0, so updating to version 10.2 from 10.0 or 10.1 is considered a
minor update.
Security Issues
---------------
Two security vulnerabilities have been fixed by this release:
* CVE-2018-1052: Fix the processing of partition keys containing multiple
expressions
* CVE-2018-1053: Ensure that all temporary files made with "pg_upgrade" are
non-world-readable
Local fixes to the FreeBSD ports
--------------------------------
Inform users about data checksums [1].
Make sure /usr/bin/su is used regardless of PATH settings [2].
Enable DTRACE by default [3].

other bugs reported over the last three months. Users who use the PGREQUIRESSL
environment variable to control connections, and users who rely on security
isolation between database users when using foreign servers, should update as
soon as possible. Other users should plan to update at the next convenient

| | Security Fixes for Regular Expressions, PL/Java
This release closes security hole CVE-2016-0773, an issue with regular
expression (regex) parsing. Prior code allowed users to pass in expressions
which included out-of-range Unicode characters, triggering a backend crash.
This issue is critical for PostgreSQL systems with untrusted users or which
generate regexes based on user input.
The update also fixes CVE-2016-0766, a privilege escalation issue for users of
PL/Java.  Certain custom configuration settings (GUCS) for PL/Java will now be
modifiable only by the database superuser

| | 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.
See release notes for more changes.

| | PostgreSQL 9.2, which will include major increases in performance and
both vertical and horizontal scalability.  The PostgreSQL Project asks
all users to download and begin testing 9.2 Beta as soon as possible.
Major performance and scalability advances in this version include:
* Index-only scans, allowing users to avoid inefficient scans of base
  tables
* Enhanced read-only workload scaling to 64 cores and over 300,000
  queries per second
* Improvements to data write speeds, including group commit
* Reductions in CPU power consumption
* Cascading replication, supporting geographically distributed standby
  databases
PostgreSQL 9.2 will also offer many new features for application
developers, including:
* JSON data support, enabling hybrid document-relational databases
* Range types, supporting new types of calendar, time-series and
* analytic applications
* Multiple improvements to ALTER and other statements, easing runtime
* database updates
For a full listing of the features in version 9.2 Beta, please see the
release notes:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/release-9-2.html
We depend on our community to help test the next version in order to
guarantee that it is high-performance and bug-free.  Please install
PostgreSQL 9.2 Beta and try it with your workloads and applications as
soon as you can, and give feedback to the PostgreSQL developers.  More
information on how to test and report issues:

1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.

This release shows a targeted approach to adding features (e.g., authentication,
monitoring, space reuse), and adds capabilities defined in the later SQL standards.
The major areas of enhancement are:
Windowing Functions
Common Table Expressions and Recursive Queries
Default and variadic parameters for functions
Parallel Restore
Column Permissions
Per-database locale settings
Improved hash indexes
Improved join performance for EXISTS and NOT EXISTS queries
Easier-to-use Warm Standby
Automatic sizing of the Free Space Map
Visibility Map (greatly reduces vacuum overhead for slowly-changing tables)
Version-aware psql (backslash commands work against older servers)
Support SSL certificates for user authentication
Per-function runtime statistics
Easy editing of functions in psql
New contrib modules: pg_stat_statements, auto_explain, citext, btree_gin

Note that the GiST problem mentioned does not apply to users of
the FreeBSD port, since the previous version of PostgreSQL never
reached the ports tree, due to the freeze of the tree pending the
FreeBSD 7.1 update.

The server-side utilities of postgresql (initdb, initlocation,
ipcclean, pg_controldata, pg_ctl, pg_id and pg_resetxlog) are now
installed by the respective postgresql*-server port (previously they
where installed with the client). If you update the client, you should
also update the server to make sure you are not left without the
server-side tools. Do something like:
    portupgrade postgresql-client postgresql-server

| | The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today released versions 8.1.4, 8.0.8,
7.4.13 and 7.3.15. This is an urgent update to close a security hole which
can permit a SQL injection attack on some applications running PostgreSQL.
Users are urged to apply the update as soon as reasonably possible. Since the
update affects client functionality, most driver projects will be updating
this week as well.
Because the security issue involved is complex, we have added a section in
Techdocs to explain it: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.52. Please
read this first before applying the updates.
Also, fix rc_subr startup problems on FreeBSD-7.x.

is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

| | The new release includes performance improvements and advanced SQL
features which will support bigger data warehouses, higher-volume
transaction processing, and more complex distributed enterprise
software.
Major new features in this release include:
      Roles:
           PostgreSQL now supports database roles, which simplify the
           management of large numbers of users with complex
           overlapping database rights.
      IN/OUT Parameters:
           PostgreSQL functions now support IN, OUT and INOUT
           parameters, which substantially improves support of complex
           business logic for J2EE and .NET applications.
      Two-Phase Commit (2PC):
           Long in demand for WAN applications and heterogeneous data
           centers using PostgreSQL, this feature allows
           ACID-compliant transactions across widely separated
           servers.
Some Performance Enhancements found in this release include:
      Improved Multiprocessor (SMP) Performance:
           The buffer manager for 8.1 has been enhanced to scale almost
           linearly with the number of processors, leading to significant
           performance gains on 8-way, 16-way, dual-core, and multi-core
           CPU servers.
      Bitmap Scan:
           Indexes will be dynamically converted to bitmaps in memory when
           appropriate, giving up to twenty times faster index performance
           on complex queries against very large tables.
      Table Partitioning:
           The query planner is now able to avoid scanning whole sections
           of a large table using a technique known as Constraint
           Exclusion.
       Shared Row Locking:
           PostgreSQL's "better than row-level locking" now supports even
           higher levels of concurrency through the addition of shared
           row locks for foreign keys.

| | Over the past several weeks, Tom Lane has been working on replacing
  our old Cache Management Alorithm (ARC) with a new, patent free one
  (2Q).
  In order to reduce the number of 8.x deployments out there that are
  using the old manager, we have just released 8.0.2, and encourage
  adminstrators to upgrade at their earliest convience.
  For those already running 8.x on your production servers, please
  note that this upgrade does *NOT* require a dump restore, but due to
  a bump in the major version number for the client library (libpq),
  it *WILL* require all client applications to be recompiled at the
  same time.
For full release info, see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-0-2
Apart from the upgrade, three new config options are added:
 A patch (experimental) for supporting proper collation
 of utf-8 encoded locales, using IBM's ICU package (devel/icu). See
 http://people.freebsd.org/~girgen/postgresql-icu/README.html for more
 info.
 An optional patch written by Evgen Potemkin, which allows
 PostgreSQL to make hierarchical queries à la Oracle [1].
 An option is added that allows the use of 64 bit ints to
 store dates [2].
