postgresql-8.2 (8.2.6-0ubuntu0.7.10) gutsy-proposed; urgency=low

  * New upstream security/bugfix release:
    - Prevent functions in indexes from executing with the privileges of
      the user running "VACUUM", "ANALYZE", etc. "SET ROLE" is now forbidden
      within a SECURITY DEFINER context. [CVE-2007-6600]
    - Suitably crafted regular-expression patterns could cause crashes,
      infinite or near-infinite looping, and/or massive memory
      consumption, all of which pose denial-of-service hazards for
      applications that accept regex search patterns from untrustworthy
      sources. [CVE-2007-4769, CVE-2007-4772, CVE-2007-6067]
    - Require non-superusers who use "/contrib/dblink" to use only
      password authentication, as a security measure.
      The fix that appeared for this in 8.2.5 was incomplete, as it
      plugged the hole for only some "dblink" functions. [CVE-2007-6601,
      CVE-2007-3278]
    - Fix bugs in WAL replay for GIN indexes.
    - Fix GIN index build to work properly when maintenance_work_mem is
      4GB or more.
    - Improve planner's handling of LIKE/regex estimation in non-C
      locales.
    - Fix planning-speed problem for deep outer-join nests, as well as
      possible poor choice of join order.
    - Fix planner failure in some cases of WHERE false AND var IN (SELECT
      ...).
    - Make "CREATE TABLE ... SERIAL" and "ALTER SEQUENCE ... OWNED BY"
      not change the currval() state of the sequence.
    - Preserve the tablespace and storage parameters of indexes that are
      rebuilt by "ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN TYPE".
    - Make archive recovery always start a new WAL timeline, rather than
      only when a recovery stop time was used. This avoids a corner-case risk
      of trying to overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL
      segment, and seems simpler and cleaner than the original definition.
    - Make "VACUUM" not use all of maintenance_work_mem when the table is
      too small for it to be useful.
    - Fix potential crash in translate() when using a multibyte database
      encoding.
    - Make corr() return the correct result for negative correlation
      values.
    - Fix overflow in extract(epoch from interval) for intervals
      exceeding 68 years.
    - Fix PL/Perl to not fail when a UTF-8 regular expression is used in
      a trusted function.
    - Fix PL/Python to work correctly with Python 2.5 on 64-bit machines
      (Marko Kreen)
    - Fix PL/Python to not crash on long exception messages.
    - Fix pg_dump to correctly handle inheritance child tables that have
      default expressions different from their parent's.
    - Fix libpq crash when PGPASSFILE refers to a file that is not a
      plain file.
    - ecpg parser fixes.
    - Make "contrib/tablefunc"'s crosstab() handle NULL rowid as a
      category in its own right, rather than crashing.
    - Fix tsvector and tsquery output routines to escape backslashes
      correctly. (LP: #146382)
    - Fix crash of to_tsvector() on huge input strings.
  * Drop debian/patches/00upstream-tsearch2-compareWORD.patch, upstream.
