postgresql-8.1 (8.1.20-0ubuntu0.6.06) dapper-proposed; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release: (LP: #557408)
    - Add new configuration parameter ssl_renegotiation_limit to control
      how often we do session key renegotiation for an SSL connection.
      This can be set to zero to disable renegotiation completely, which
      may be required if a broken SSL library is used. In particular,
      some vendors are shipping stopgap patches for CVE-2009-3555 that
      cause renegotiation attempts to fail.
    - Fix possible crashes when trying to recover from a failure in
      subtransaction start.
    - Fix server memory leak associated with use of savepoints and a
      client encoding different from server's encoding.
    - Make substring() for bit types treat any negative length as meaning
      "all the rest of the string".
      The previous coding treated only -1 that way, and would produce an
      invalid result value for other negative values, possibly leading to
      a crash (CVE-2010-0442).
    - Fix integer-to-bit-string conversions to handle the first
      fractional byte correctly when the output bit width is wider than
      the given integer by something other than a multiple of 8 bits.
    - Fix some cases of pathologically slow regular expression matching.
    - Fix the STOP WAL LOCATION entry in backup history files to report
      the next WAL segment's name when the end location is exactly at a
      segment boundary.
    - Fix some more cases of temporary-file leakage.
      This corrects a problem introduced in the previous minor release.
      One case that failed is when a plpgsql function returning set is
      called within another function's exception handler.
    - When reading "pg_hba.conf" and related files, do not treat
      @something as a file inclusion request if the @ appears inside
      quote marks; also, never treat @ by itself as a file inclusion
      request.
      This prevents erratic behavior if a role or database name starts
      with @. If you need to include a file whose path name contains
      spaces, you can still do so, but you must write @"/path to/file"
      rather than putting the quotes around the whole construct.
    - Prevent infinite loop on some platforms if a directory is named as
      an inclusion target in "pg_hba.conf" and related files.
    - Fix psql's numericlocale option to not format strings it shouldn't
      in latex and troff output formats.
    - Fix plpgsql failure in one case where a composite column is set to
      NULL.
    - Add volatile markings in PL/Python to avoid possible
      compiler-specific misbehavior.
    - Prevent crash in "contrib/dblink" when too many key columns are
      specified to a dblink_build_sql_- function.
    - Fix assorted crashes in "contrib/xml2" caused by sloppy memory
      management.
