Release date: 2003-12-22
This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.4. For information about new features in the 7.4 major release, see Section E.134.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.
If you want to install the fixes in the information schema you need to reload it into the database. This is either accomplished by initializing a new cluster by running initdb, or by running the following sequence of SQL commands in each database (ideally including template1) as a superuser in psql, after installing the new release:
DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE; \i /usr/local/pgsql/share/information_schema.sql
Substitute your installation path in the second command.

Fix for subqueries that used hash joins (Tom)
Certain subqueries that used hash joins would crash because of improperly shared structures.
Fix free space map compaction bug (Tom)
This fixes a bug where compaction of the free space map could lead to a database server shutdown.

Fix netmask()
and hostmask()

Escape bytea output for bytes > 0x7e(Joe)
If different client encodings are used for bytea output and input, it is possible for bytea values to be corrupted by the differing encodings. This fix escapes all bytes that might be affected.
