G'day ...

This is just a quick announcement that v7.3.2 has been tag'd (REL7_3_2),
and released, to address several problems found with v7.3.1. This release
addresses several overrun and memory leak issues that were found in recent
weeks, so it is highly recommended that those running the v7.3.1 branch
upgrade at their earliest convience.

Major changes in this release are, as listed in the HISTORY file:

Restore creation of OID column in CREATE TABLE AS / SELECT INTO
Fix pg_dump core dump when dumping views having comments
Dump DEFERRABLE/INITIALLY DEFERRED constraints properly
Fix UPDATE when child table's column numbering differs from parent
Increase default value of max_fsm_relations
Fix problem when fetching backwards in a cursor for a single-row query
Make backward fetch work properly with cursor on SELECT DISTINCT query
Fix problems with loading pg_dump files containing contrib/lo usage
Fix problem with all-numeric user names
Fix possible memory leak and core dump during disconnect in libpgtcl
Make plpython's spi_execute command handle nulls properly (Andrew Bosma)
Adjust plpython error reporting so that its regression test passes again
Work with bison 1.875
Handle mixed-case names properly in plpgsql's %type (Neil)
Fix core dump in pltcl when executing a query rewritten by a rule
Repair array subscript overruns (per report from Yichen Xie)
Reduce MAX_TIME_PRECISION from 13 to 10 in floating-point case
Correctly case-fold variable names in per-database and per-user settings
Fix coredump in plpgsql's RETURN NEXT when SELECT into record returns
no rows
Fix outdated use of pg_type.typprtlen in python client interface
Correctly handle fractional seconds in timestamps in JDBC driver
Improve performance of getImportedKeys() in JDBC
Make shared-library symlinks work standardly on HPUX (Giles)
Repair inconsistent rounding behavior for timestamp, time, interval
SSL negotiation fixes (Nathan Mueller)
Make libpq's ~/.pgpass feature work when connecting with PQconnectDB
Update my2pg, ora2pg
Translation updates
Add casts between types lo and oid in contrib/lo
fastpath code now checks for privilege to call function

This release is backwards compability to the previous v7.3.x releases, and
does not require a dump/restore to upgrade ...

This release can be found on all mirrors, as well as the main site, under:

/pub/source/v7.3.2

Please submit any bug reports for this release to

pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org

Re: [ANNOUNCE] PostgreSQL v7.3.2 Released

Well this isn't any good...the primary site is hugely busy and it is not on
any of the mirrors. Perhaps it did not get copied over to the mirrors even
though this announcent says it is there?

Thanks,

Sure it is. I tried two at random:

ftp://ftp.us.postgresql.org/source/v7.3.2/
ftp://ftp.dk.postgresql.org/mirrors/postgresql/source/v7.3.2/

The top-level symlink may not be there yet (I think Marc forgot to make
it on the master until today), but the tarball is there if you look
under source/.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] PostgreSQL v7.3.2 Released

I was trying from the postgresql.org download web page and following the
mirror links there...and none of them that I was able to get to (some of
them didn't work) showed 7.3.2.

The second link you gave below works.

Thanks,

ftp.us.postgresql.org has had it for a day or two now. The Redhat
binaries are now there too.

I just started a download from ftp.us.postgresql.org, and it seems to be
working fine. We've not heard other complaints, either. Sure the
problem's not on your end?

Re: PostgreSQL v7.3.2 Released -- Permission denied from pretty much

FYI...

Today, I am able to get it off many of the sites. No problems.

Yesterday, I was only trying the US (American Flag) sites and was only
finding it on ftp.postgresql.org which was bogged down. The other US sites
did not have it only 7.3.1 - but today they do.

Hello,

Pardon me while I pull my book out of various dark places. It has
been a very long week. I got it. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Joshua Drake
