What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Avoid corruption of internal hash tables when out of memory.
· Prevent file descriptors for dropped tables from being held open past transaction end.
· This should reduce problems with long-since-dropped tables continuing to occupy disk space.
· Prevent database-wide crash and restart when a new child process is unable to create a pipe for its latch.
· Although the new process must fail, there is no good reason to force a database-wide restart, so avoid that. This improves robustness when the kernel is nearly out of file descriptors.
· Avoid planner crash with joins to unflattened subqueries.
· Fixed planning of non-strict equivalence clauses above outer joins.
