+<h2>Reviews</h2>
+<h2>Applied Patches</h2>
+<p>
+Heikki Linnakangas pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Support multiple concurrent pg_basebackup backups. With this patch,
+ pg_basebackup doesn't write a backup_label file in the data
+ directory, so it doesn't interfere with a pg_start/stop_backup()
+ based backup anymore. backup_label is still included in the backup,
+ but it is injected directly into the tar stream. Heikki
+ Linnakangas, reviewed by Fujii Masao and Magnus Hagander.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=997b48ed96c476650f87ca75d65c9fc1f6273f5a">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=997b48ed96c476650f87ca75d65c9fc1f6273f5a</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix typo.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=32866837f005fcfdd1e1289f08a89a7c519da000">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=32866837f005fcfdd1e1289f08a89a7c519da000</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Remove spurious word, spotted by Thom Brown.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=44df84df72b5eb43384bc7288713c2f80db7273d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=44df84df72b5eb43384bc7288713c2f80db7273d</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Bruce Momjian pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Move upgrade instructions into its own section under "Server Setup
+ and Operation", merged from upgrade sections in "Installation from
+ Source Code" and "Backup and Restore". This now gives a single
+ place for all upgrade information.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c5ba11f8fb1701441b96a755ea410b96bfe36170">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c5ba11f8fb1701441b96a755ea410b96bfe36170</a>

+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Update pg_upgrade docs to mention its use in a less risk-warning
+ way, and update the pg_upgrade docs to mention its reliance on no
+ changes to the storage format (the later based on Robert Haas's
+ patch).
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=49450f01eca39308989cf668f60b7c345e72fc7b">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=49450f01eca39308989cf668f60b7c345e72fc7b</a>

+ 'postgres' database, not in the os-user database, per report from
+ Magnus.

+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Improve docs for pg_authid encryption description with better markup
+ and a mention of unencrypted passwords.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=00dd340210ed67900e03703eb088fdd5ab12c099">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=00dd340210ed67900e03703eb088fdd5ab12c099</a>

+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Clarify pg_upgrade install instructions, per suggestion from Robert Haas.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=902aae5ec58f71b8d9f7efb5ed474d0f5439439d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=902aae5ec58f71b8d9f7efb5ed474d0f5439439d</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Document that Slony can do upgrades easier _because_ it supports
+ replication between different Postgres major versions.

+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Clarify documentation to state that "zero_damaged_pages" does not
+ force data to disk, so the table or index should be recreated before
+ the parameter is turned off again.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7106f74e2a6feb31c022dd98e7d93ab656dc079d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7106f74e2a6feb31c022dd98e7d93ab656dc079d</a>

+ auto-add columns later added to the base table.

+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Clearify macro IS_PATH_VAR_SEP in path.c so it is clear this is a
+ path variable, not a directory path.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bffb638d16999ee7d3c8796e77dd87ac82719c7d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bffb638d16999ee7d3c8796e77dd87ac82719c7d</a>

+- ALTER TABLE sometimes takes only ShareUpdateExclusiveLock. Along

+- Rename macro DECIMAL to DECIMAL_T to help pgindent; this is already
+ done for a few other macros in that file, for other reasons. I also
+ remove pgindent/README mention of the file.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=97116ca4170b974d734cea364789c389b30e6ce1">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=97116ca4170b974d734cea364789c389b30e6ce1</a>

+</p>
+
+<p>
+Andrew Dunstan pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Update docs on building for Windows to accomodate current reality.
+ Document how to build 64 bit Windows binaries using the MinGW64 tool
+ set. Remove recommendation against using Mingw as a build platform.
+ Be more specific about when Cygwin is useful and when it's not, in
+ particular note its usefulness for running psql, and add a note
+ about building on Cygwin in non-C locales. Per recent discussions.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=51be78b09a83b8d533e4a9f81cf9a7f2edde6654">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=51be78b09a83b8d533e4a9f81cf9a7f2edde6654</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Set up PLPerl trigger data using C code instead of Perl code. This
+ is an efficiency change, and means we now no longer have to run "out
+ $_TD; local $_TD = shift;", which was especially pointless in the
+ case of non-trigger functions where the passed value was always
+ undef anyway. A tiny open issue is whether we should get rid of the
+ $prolog argument of mkfunc, and the corresponding pushed value,
+ which is now just a constant "false". Tim Bunce, reviewed by Alex
+ Hunsaker.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ef19dc6d39dd2490ff61489da55d95d6941140bf">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ef19dc6d39dd2490ff61489da55d95d6941140bf</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Add comment on why we're passing a useless 'false' to the plperl
+ function compiler. It's for compatibility with modules like
+ PostgreSQL::PLPerl::NYTProf.

+
+<p>
+- Force strings passed to and from plperl to be in UTF8 encoding.
+ String are converted to UTF8 on the way into perl and to the
+ database encoding on the way back. This avoids a number of observed
+ anomalies, and ensures Perl a consistent view of the world. Some
+ minor code cleanups are also accomplished. Alex Hunsaker, reviewed
+ by Andy Colson.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=50d89d422f9c68a52a6964e5468e8eb4f90b1d95">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=50d89d422f9c68a52a6964e5468e8eb4f90b1d95</a>

+- Create new errcode for recovery conflict caused by db drop on

+- Prevent buffer overrun while parsing an integer in a "query_int"
+ value. contrib/intarray's gettoken() uses a fixed-size buffer to
+ collect an integer's digits, and did not guard against overrunning
+ the buffer. This is at least a backend crash risk, and in principle
+ might allow arbitrary code execution. The code didn't check for
+ overflow of the integer value either, which while not presenting a
+ crash risk was still bad. Thanks to Apple Inc's security team for
+ reporting this issue and supplying the fix. Security: CVE-2010-4015

+- Support LIKE and ILIKE index searches via contrib/pg_trgm indexes.
+ Unlike Btree-based LIKE optimization, this works for
+ non-left-anchored search patterns. The effectiveness of the search
+ depends on how many trigrams can be extracted from the pattern.
+ (The worst case, with no trigrams, degrades to a full-table scan, so
+ this isn't a panacea. But it can be very useful.) Alexander

+- Make handling of errcodes.h more consistent with other generated

+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Clarify comment in ATRewriteTable(). Make sure it's clear that the
+ prohibition on adding a column with a default when the rowtype is
+ used elsewhere is intentional, and be a bit more explicit about the
+ other cases where we perform this check.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=9e7e1172a53054dc14574e42865ea8213bc06371">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=9e7e1172a53054dc14574e42865ea8213bc06371</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Tighten ALTER FOREIGN TABLE .. SET DATA TYPE checks. If the foreign

+ checked for composite types and ordinary tables, but we previously
+ failed to enforce it for foreign tables.
