PostgreSQL 8.3.3 和8.2.9 发布

   PostgreSQL全球开发组发布了修补版本8.3.3 和 8.2.9。并提醒所有的用户及时更新。

   The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released minor versions 8.3.3 and 8.2.9. All users should upgrade to receive the latest fixes.

   和以前的大同小异，以下是PG的这次新闻：

   需要注意的是，PG不在支持Windows的8.0和8.1版本。

   Updates for all maintained versions of PostgreSQL are available today: 8.3.3, 8.2.9, 8.1.13, 8.0.17 and 7.4.21. These releases fix more than two dozen minor issues reported and patched over the last few months. All PostgreSQL users should plan to update at their earliest convenience. Users of UTF-8 databases on Windows and people in affected time zones, in particular, should upgrade as soon as possible.

   The issues fixed include a crash caused by encoding mismatch on Windows, possible crash when decompressing corrupted data, non-optimization of some parameterized queries, new time zone updates, SIGTERM-caused memory corruption, runaway LWLocks with GIN indexes, and several more. Read the release notes to see if any of the issues affect you.

    As with other minor releases, users are not required to dump and reload their database in order to apply this update release; you may simply upgrade the PostgreSQL binaries. Users skipping more than one update may need to check the release notes for extra, post-update steps. As previously announced, only versions 8.2.9 and 8.3.3 of the Windows binaries are being released, as we no longer support 8.0 and 8.1 on Windows.
