Changes: 
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3~rc2-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Second release candidate of PostgreSQL 8.3. Upload to unstable now, the
     database format is not likely to change any more, and we want more
     widespread testing now.
   * debian/control: Build the versionless metapackages from this source now
     and let them point to 8.3.
   * debian/postgresql-server-dev-8.3.install: Do not ship pg_config.1, it's
     already shipped by libpq-dev. (Closes: #459746)
   * debian/rules: Stop postgresql at priority 21, not 19, so that services at
     runlevel 20 which use postgresql (such as postfix, pdns) can shutdown
     cleanly. Do the transition on upgrades, too
     (debian/postgresql-8.3.postinst). (Closes: #447063)
   * debian/rules: set SYSCONFDIR to /etc/postgresql-common, so that
     pg_service.conf is searched there. (Closes: #439026)
   * Add debian/patches/13-pg_service.conf_directory_doc.patch: Change
     documentation comment in sample pg_service.conf to point to Debian's
     sysconfdir (/etc/postgresql-common) instead of /usr/local/pgsql/etc.
   * Fix dependencies of libecpg-dev.
 .
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3~rc1-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * First release candidate of PostgreSQL 8.3. This also provides the security
     bug fixes of 8.2.6:
     - 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]
   * debian/patches/04-psql-passwordprompt.patch: Update for new version.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.3 (no changes necessary).
   * debian/rules:
     - Build with -O1 on sparc and alpha until the miscompilation with -O2 is
       sorted out (http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2007/11/msg00025.html).
     - Have a failed test suite fail the build on all architectures again.
   * Ship pg_config in postgresql-server-dev, and ship a copy in /usr/bin in
     libpq-dev, instead of libpq-dev shipping it in
     /usr/lib/postgresql/<version>/bin. This makes it possible to use a
     libpq-dev from a different major version. (See #455509)
   * debian/control: Mention tablefunc in -contrib description.
     (Closes: #458752)
   * debian/rules: Run make bigcheck instead of check, to run the numeric_big
     test, too.
   * debian/rules: Add target 'contrib-check' for running the tests in contrib.
     Do not call it by default for now, still needs some work.
   * debian/rules: Add target 'contrib-installcheck' for running the tests in
     contrib, using the installed programs in the system.
   * debian/rules: Replace hardcoded '8.3' strings with $(MAJOR_VER) variable.
 .
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3~beta4-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Fourth beta release of PostgreSQL 8.3.
 .
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3~beta3-2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control: Drop libgssapi-dev build dependency, current krb does not
     need it any more. (Closes: #452549)
 .
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3~beta3-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Third beta release of PostgreSQL 8.3.
   * debian/rules:
     - Ignore test suite failure on alpha for now, since it behaves weird on
       some floating point operations (regression in glibc and gcc-4.2). Bug is
       under investigation. Fixes FTBFS for now. (see #449002)
     - Remove test suite ignoring for mips and mipsel again, seems the buildds
       finally got a fixed kernel.
   * Add debian/patches/12-psql-sensible-editor.patch: Use sensible-editor
     instead of vi as editor fallback in psql if $EDITOR and friends are not
     defined. (Closes: #451553)
   * Enable OSSP UUID support, add build dependency libossp-uuid-dev.
     (Closes: #451336)
   * Install some missing .so libraries.
   * debian/rules: Check that all files in debian/tmp get installed to
     somewhere, and fail the build if not.
 .
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3~beta2-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Second beta release of PostgreSQL 8.3.
   * Remove patches which are upstream now:
     00upstream-encoding-abibreakage.patch, 12-pgpassfile-crash.patch
   * 03-gettext-domains.patch: Adapt to new upstream version.
 .
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3~beta1-2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control: Update -contrib description for new modules.
   * debian/{control,rules}: Enable GSSAPI and LDAP support and add build
     dependencies libgssapi-dev and libldap2-dev.
   * Add debian/patches/00upstream-encoding-abibreakage.patch: Fix libpq ABI
     breakage wrt. ordering of encoding names. Taken from upstream CVS head.
     This requires a catalog bump, thus upgrades from 8.3~beta1-1 will break.
   * debian/postgresql-8.3.postrm:
     - Clean up rotated logs on purge when postgresql-common is already gone.
       (Closes: #447445)
     - Clean up default data dir/log file if 'pgdata'/'log' symbolic links do
       not exist.
     - Clean up environment file.
 .
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3~beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * First beta release of PostgreSQL 8.3. Branch off the 8.2 packaging.
   * Drop debian/patches/12-m32r-tas.patch: Adopted upstream.
   * Drop debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch: Upstream now offers
     configure option --with-system-tzdata. Use it in debian/rules.
   * Drop debian/patches/50-contrib-enablemodules.patch: xml2 is now built
     conditionally. Supply --with-lib{xml,xslt} configure options in
     debian/rules.
   * Updated patches for new upstream version.
   * debian/control: Bump postgresql-common dependencies to >= 79 to ensure
     support of version 8.3.
   * debian/control: Do not build the versionless metapackages like
     'postgresql' until 8.3 is released and goes to unstable. Until then, 8.2
     should remain the default.
   * Add debian/patches/04-psql-passwordprompt.patch: Change psql to not prompt
     for a password if PGPASSWORD is given, just as in earlier versions.
     Without that, there is no way to suppress the password input prompt, which
     is bad for scripts.
   * Add debian/patches/12-pgpassfile-crash.patch: Fix crash (free'ing a static
     stack variable) in fe-connect.c.
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream bugfix release:
     - Require non-superusers who use "/contrib/dblink" to use only
       password authentication, as a security measure.
       [CVE-2007-3278, CVE-2007-3280]
     - Fix ALTER DOMAIN ADD CONSTRAINT for cases involving domains over
       domains.
     - Make "CREATE DOMAIN ... DEFAULT NULL" work properly.
     - Fix some planner problems with outer joins, notably poor size
       estimation for t1 LEFT JOIN t2 WHERE t2.col IS NULL.
     - Allow the interval data type to accept input consisting only of
       milliseconds or microseconds.
     - Allow timezone name to appear before the year in timestamp input.
     - Fixes for GIN indexes used by "/contrib/tsearch2".
     - Speed up rtree index insertion.
     - Fix excessive logging of SSL error messages.
     - Fix logging so that log messages are never interleaved when using
       the syslogger process.
     - Fix crash when log_min_error_statement logging runs out of memory.
     - Fix incorrect handling of some foreign-key corner cases.
     - Fix stddev_pop(numeric) and var_pop(numeric).
     - Prevent "REINDEX" and "CLUSTER" from failing due to attempting to
       process temporary tables of other sessions.
     - Restrict "/contrib/pgstattuple" functions to superusers, for
       security reasons.
     - Do not let "/contrib/intarray" try to make its GIN opclass the
       default (this caused problems at dump/restore).
   * Remove debian/patches/00upstream-01-polymorphic-functions.patch: Upstream
     now.
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.4-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Urgency medium since the dpkg bug above is nasty and I want this fixed in
     testing ASAP.
   * debian/postgresql-8.2.postinst: Work around dpkg bug #435938 by manually
     doing the timezone symlink transition. Closes: #430524
   * debian/rules: Make binary-arch idempotent if test suite fails.
     Closes: #431565
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control: Remove some unnecessary build depends. Closes: #424010
   * debian/postgresql-8.2.install: Actually install the "timezone" symlink,
     not the dereferenced files.
   * Add debian/patches/12-m32r-tas.patch:
     - Support m32r architecture, thanks to Kazuhiro Inaoka for the initial
       patch.
     - Backported from CVS head:
       http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-05/msg00065.php
     - Closes: #419267
   * Add debian/patches/00upstream-01-polymorphic-functions.patch:
     - Fix breakage of polymorphic SQL functions (regression in 8.2.4), add
       test cases.
     - Patch taken from upstream CVS:
       http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-05/msg00010.php
     - Closes: #430347
   * debian/control: Fix libpq-dev Depends: line: ${Source-Version} ->
     ${binary:Version}.
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream security/bug fix release:
     - Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within
       search_path, and disable searching it for functions and operators.
       This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly
       secure value of search_path. Without it, an unprivileged SQL user
       can use temporary objects to execute code with the privileges of
       the security-definer function (CVE-2007-2138). See "CREATE
       FUNCTION" for more information.
     - Fix to_char() so it properly upper/lower cases localized day or
       month names.
     - "/contrib/tsearch2" crash fixes.
     - Require "COMMIT PREPARED" to be executed in the same database as
       the transaction was prepared in.
     - New traditional (Taiwan) Chinese FAQ.
     - Prevent the statistics collector from writing to disk too
       frequently.
     - Fix potential-data-corruption bug in how "VACUUM FULL" handles
       "UPDATE" chains.
     - Fix bug in domains that use array types.
     - Fix "pg_dump" so it can dump a serial column's sequence using "-t"
       when not also dumping the owning table.
     - Planner fixes, including improving outer join and bitmap scan
       selection logic.
     - Fix possible wrong answers or crash when a PL/pgSQL function tries
       to RETURN from within an EXCEPTION block.
     - Fix PANIC during enlargement of a hash index.
   * debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch: Adapt to slightly changed
     Makefile of 8.2.4.
   * Remove debian/patches/12-vacuum-cycle-hang.patch: Fixed upstream.
   * debian/postgresql-8.2.postrm: Fix bashism.
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-5) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: Do not let failed test suite fail the build on mips and
     mipsel. The Debian buildds' kernels are still broken.
   * debian/control: Add empty postgresql{,-client,-contrib,-doc} packages
     which always point to the latest available version.
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * First upload to unstable: Welcome, Lenny!
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-3) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: Do not FTBFS on failed test suite on sparc. sparc throws a
     'floating point exception' instead of a 'division by zero' error, which is
     fine, but differs from expected string output. Closes: #417160
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control: Add Perl dependency to p-8.2-plperl, to ensure that
     creating plperl functions works (as opposed to plperlu, which only needs
     libperl). (see bug #412135)
   * debian/control: Do not mention nor suggest 'pgdocs' any more in p-doc's
     description since pgdocs is only available for 7.4. (see bug #405097)
   * debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch:
     - Use the timezone database from the system tzdata instead of shipping our
       own. Towards a single authoritative time zone database in Debian and
       Ubuntu... :) (LP: #41159)
     - Drop previous hardlink-to-symlink patch to zic, since that is irrelevant
       now.
     - debian/control: Add tzdata dependency.
   * Add debian/patches/12-vacuum-cycle-hang.patch: Properly release our
     semaphore lock before erroring out wit elog() to prevent deadlocks on
     vacuum errors. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas!
   * debian/rules: Have a test suite failure fail the build again. Let's ignore
     the old kernels on the Debian mips[el] buildds for now.
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream bug fix release to fix regressions in 8.2.2:
     - Remove overly-restrictive check for type length in constraints and
       functional indexes.
     - Fix optimization so MIN/MAX in subqueries can again use indexes.
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.2-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream security and bug fix release:
     - Fix security vulnerabilities that allowed connected users to
       read backend memory.
       The vulnerabilities involve suppressing the normal check that a SQL
       function returns the data type it's declared to, and changing the
       data type of a table column (CVE-2007-0555, CVE-2007-0556). These
       errors can easily be exploited to cause a backend crash, and in
       principle might be used to read database content that the user
       should not be able to access.
     - Fix not-so-rare-anymore bug wherein btree index page splits could
       fail due to choosing an infeasible split point.
     - Properly handle to_char('CC') for years ending in 00.
       Year 2000 is in the twentieth century, not the twenty-first.
     - "/contrib/tsearch2" localization improvements.
     - Fix incorrect permission check in information_schema.key_column_usage
       view.
       The symptom is "relation with OID nnnnn does not exist" errors. To
       get this fix without using "initdb", use "CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW"
       to install the corrected definition found in
       "share/information_schema.sql". Note you will need to do this in
       each database.
     - Improve "VACUUM" performance for databases with many tables.
     - Fix for rare Assert() crash triggered by UNION.
     - Fix potentially incorrect results from index searches using ROW
       inequality conditions.
     - Tighten security of multi-byte character processing for UTF8
       sequences over three bytes long.
     - Fix possible crashes when an already-in-use PL/pgSQL function is
       updated.
     - Improve PL/pgSQL handling of domain types.
     - Fix possible errors in processing PL/pgSQL exception blocks.
   * debian/control: postgresql-client-8.2 provides postgresql-client. This
     avoids breaking all the reverse dependencies to p-c when the transitional
     package gets removed. Closes: #400648
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.1-2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/libpq-dev.install: Install missing pg_trace.h.
   * debian/control: Remove -contrib's libpg-perl recommendation, nothing in
     -contrib uses it any more. Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for spotting this.
     Closes: #408070
   * debian/control: Update -contrib package description for 8.2. 
     Closes: #408072
 .
 postgresql-8.2 (8.2.1-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream bugfix release:
     - Fix crash with SELECT ... LIMIT ALL (also LIMIT NULL).
     - "Several /contrib/tsearch2" fixes (Teodor)
     - Fix planner mistakes for outer join queries.
     - Fix several problems in queries involving sub-SELECTs.
     - Fix potential crash in SPI during subtransaction abort.
       This affects all PL functions since they all use SPI.
     - Improve build speed of PDF documentation.
     - Re-add JST (Japan) timezone abbreviation.
     - Improve optimization decisions related to index scans.
     - Have psql print multi-byte combining characters as before, rather
       than output as \u.
     - Improve index usage of regular expressions that use parentheses.
       This improves psql \d performance also.
     - Make pg_dumpall assume that databases have public CONNECT
       privilege, when dumping from a pre-8.2 server.
       This preserves the previous behavior that anyone can connect to a
       database if allowed by "pg_hba.conf".

   * Add debian/patches/12-pg_restore-ignore-failing-tables.patch:
     - pg_restore: Add option -X no-data-for-failed-tables to ignore TABLE DATA
       objects if the corresponding TABLE could not be created. Necessary for
       fixing #351571.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.4-4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: Use -fPIC instead of -fpic to avoid FTBFS on sparc and m68k
     (and maybe avoid the ICE on arm).
   * debian/postgresql-8.1.init: Add LSB magic comment header (provide both
     postgresql-8.1 and a generic postgresql service). Closes: #377882
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.4-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control: Add missing comerr-dev and libkrb5-dev dependencies to
     libpq-dev. Closes: #371158
   * Add debian/patches/54-contrib-dbmirror-quoteparsing.patch: Fix parsing of
     quotes escaped as '' in PendingData table. Closes: #375743
   * Add debian/patches/55-contrib-admin.patch:
     - Add the 'admin81' contrib module and build it. This provides
       instrumentation functions for use with PgAdmin 3 and similar.
     - http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin3/release/v1.4.2/adminpacks/
     - Closes: #354731
   * debian/rules: Build with -fpic everywhere to improve the proactive
     security effectivity of address space layout randomization. This has no
     measurable performance impact on at least i386, amd64, and powerpc.  
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Add debian/libpq4.shlibs and bump it to >= 8.1.4, to respect the
     introduction of PQescapeStringConn() and PQescapeByteaConn().
   * debian/postgresql-8.1.postrm, clean_dir(): Do not use rmdir's
     --ignore-fail-on-nonempty, since that still falls apart when the
     directory is a mountpoint. Just ignore errors.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream security and bug fix release:
     - The server now rejects invalidly-encoded multibyte characters in all
       cases to defend against SQL-injection attacks. [CVE-2006-2313]
     - Reject unsafe uses of \' in string literals (for client encodings that
       allow SQL injection with this, like SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, or UHC). A
       new configuration parameter backslash_quote is available to adjust this
       behavior when needed. [CVE-2006-2314]
     - Modify libpq's string-escaping routines to be aware of encoding
       considerations and standard_conforming_strings
       This fixes libpq-using applications for the security issues
       described in CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314, and also
       future-proofs them against the planned changeover to SQL-standard
       string literal syntax. Applications that use multiple PostgreSQL
       connections concurrently should migrate to PQescapeStringConn() and
       PQescapeByteaConn() to ensure that escaping is done correctly for
       the settings in use in each database connection. Applications that
       do string escaping "by hand" should be modified to rely on library
       routines instead.
     - Various bug fixes, see upstream changelog for details.
   * Remove debian/patches/12-krb5-multiusers.patch: Fixed upstream.
   * debian/postgresql-8.1.init: Add a comment to point out that environment
     variables need to be set in the 'environment' file, not in the init
     script.
   * debian/postgresql-8.1.init, debian/postgresql-8.1.postinst: Do not fail if
     init.d-functions/maintscripts-functions are not present, which happens if
     postgresql-{8.1,common} are removed, but not purged. Closes: #362488
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.2.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.3-4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules:
     - Put --as-needed into LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS to avoid warnings when
       building extension modules. Closes: #360759
     - Fix a bashism.
   * debian/control: Suggest oidentd | ident-server (oidentd prefered since it
     works with IPv6). Closes: #359193
   * libecpg-dev: Move manpage to /usr/share/man/man1 where it belongs to.
     Closes: #360817
   * debian/rules: Ship the tutorial's Makefile and ship the SQL *.source files
     (not the generated *.sql files) to get the correct path to the built
     libraries. Closes: #360469
   * Add debian/patches/13-tutorial-README.patch: Remove confusing note about
     make and point out that p-server-dev-8.1 is required for building the
     tutorial.
   * debian/postgresql-contrib-8.1.install, 50-contrib-oracle-enable.patch:
     Move Ora2Pg.pm to /usr/share/postgresql/8.1 and adapt the library search
     path in ora2pg.pl accordingly. Closes: #360818
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.3-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/postgresql-8.1.init: Use shell 'sh -e' instead of bash.
   * debian/postgresql-contrib-8.1.install: Ship ora2pg.pl and Ora2Pg.pm.
   * debian/control: Updated contrib package description. Closes: #355172
   * debian/rules: Don't special-case HPPA for --enable-thread-safety-force;
     the current kernel seems to cope with threads quite well, so that the
     configure check does not hang any more. Closes: #315440
   * debian/control: Build server packages on mips and mipsel again, even if
     they do not work. No need to block testing migration forever (the
     ftp-masters seem reluctant to remove the mips binaries, see #344487), and
     the bug is in binutils, not PostgreSQL itself (see #357603).
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.3-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Re-enable 'do not run as root' check from upstream:
     - Move debian/patches/08-disable-root-check.patch to
       debian/disable-root-check.patch.
     - debian/rules: Move test suite to binary/predeb and apply
       disable-root-check.patch manually right before calling the test suite.
       Unapply debian/disable-root-check.patch after executing the
       test suite to not break subsequent package builds.
     - With this, the test suite can happily run as (fake)root during package
       build without disabling the check in the actual packages.
   * postgresql-doc-8.1: Ship tutorial C and SQL files.
     (https://launchpad.net/bugs/30233)
   * debian/control, postgresql-client-8.1: Depend on postgresql-client-common
     instead of postgresql-common.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream security and bug fix release:
     - Fix bug that allowed any logged-in user to "SET ROLE" to any other
       database user id (CVE-2006-0553).
     - See upstream changelog for detailled changes.
   * Remove debian/patches/80-cvs-pg_restore-COPY.patch: Upstream now.
   * debian/rules: Use --as-needed linker option to avoid excessive
     library dependencies.
   * debian/control: Remove unnecessary dependencies from PL/Python and PL/Tcl
     packages.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/09-relax-sslkey-permscheck.patch: Do not check for any
     particular group if the SSL key is group readable, to allow sharing a
     common SSL certificate with other server processes.
   * debian/control: Add ${shlibs:Depends} to packages which need it.
     Closes: #348066
   * debian/control, libecpg5: Remove obsolete Provides/Conflicts to ecpg.
   * Add debian/patches/80-cvs-pg_restore-COPY.patch:
     - Fix pg_restore to properly discard COPY data when trying to continue
       after an error in a COPY statement.  Formerly it thought the COPY data
       was SQL commands, and got quite confused.
     - Patch from Stephen Frost, taken from upstream CVS.
   * Add debian/patches/12-krb5-multiusers.patch:
     - Fix krb5 credential handling in libpq for multiple connections with
       different users: Don't keep credentials in global variables, but pass
       them around in a new krb5_info struct.
     - Patch from Stephen Frost, proposed to be adopted upstream.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream bugfix release:
     - Fix bug introduced in 8.0 that could allow ReadBuffer to return an
       already-used page as new, potentially causing loss of recently-committed
       data.
     - Fix for protocol-level Describe messages issued outside a
       transaction or in a failed transaction.
     - Fix character string comparison for locales that consider different
       character combinations as equal, such as Hungarian.
       This might require "REINDEX" to fix existing indexes on textual
       columns.
     - Set locale environment variables during postmaster startup to
       ensure that plperl won't change the locale later. This fixes a problem
       that occurred if the postmaster was started
       with environment variables specifying a different locale than what
       initdb had been told. Under these conditions, any use of plperl was
       likely to lead to corrupt indexes. You may need "REINDEX" to fix
       existing indexes on textual columns if this has happened to you.
       (postgresql-common checks and aborts on this condition.)
     - Allow more flexible relocation of installation directories.
       Previous releases supported relocation only if all installation
       directory paths were the same except for the last component.
       This makes the test suite work with Debian's directory structure, so
       that the horology test can find the timezones again and pass.
     - Prevent crashes caused by the use of ISO-8859-5 and ISO-8859-9
       encodings.
     - Fix longstanding bug in strpos() and regular expression handling in
       certain rarely used Asian multi-byte character sets.
     - Fix bug where COPY CSV mode considered any \. to terminate the copy
       data. The new code requires \. to appear alone on a line, as per
       documentation.
     - Make COPY CSV mode quote a literal data value of \. to ensure it
       cannot be interpreted as the end-of-data marker.
     - Various fixes for functions returning RECORDs.
     - Fix processing of "postgresql.conf" so a final line with no newline
       is processed properly.
     - Fix bug in "/contrib/pgcrypto" gen_salt, which caused it not to use
       all available salt space for MD5 and XDES algorithms.  Salts for
       Blowfish and standard DES are unaffected.
     - Fix autovacuum crash when processing expression indexes.
     - Fix "/contrib/dblink" to throw an error, rather than crashing, when
       the number of columns specified is different from what's actually
       returned by the query.
   * Remove debian/patches/12-readline-prompt-ignore.patch: Adopted upstream.
   * Bump postgresql-common dependencies to >= 39. This will ensure more
     robust upgrades and other bug fixes.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Do not build postgresql-8.1, p-contrib-8.1, and the PL/ packages on mips
     and mipsel, since the postmaster just SIGBUSes on these architectures and
     nobody seems to be able to fix that.
   * Add debian/patches/12-readline-prompt-ignore.patch: Do not prepend a
     '\001' before the 'prompt ignore begin/end' readline commands; this is a
     bash quirk, not a readline feature. Thanks to Aaron Schrab. 
     Closes: #343616

   * debian/postgresql-8.1.postrm: Also clean start.conf if purging without
     pg_dropcluster.
   * debian/postgresql-8.1.postrm: Check if a /etc/postgresql/8.1 subdirectory
     is really a cluster directory before trying to remove it. Closes: #339810
   * Ship upstream changelog.

     - Fix crash in tuple deformator (stolen from CVS head).
     - Closes: #339527
   * Add debian/patches/52-contrib-dbase-enable-iconv.patch:
     - Enable iconv support for 'dbf2pg' contrib module.

 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Final 8.1.0 upstream release, first unstable upload.
   * Build client libraries (-8.0 does not build them any more).
   * Add debian/patches/11-server-includedir.patch: Change server include
     directory to /usr/include/postgresql/8.1/server since we do want to
     keep apart server include files.

   * Clean up the installation path ./configure arguments.
     - debian/rules: Use default libdir /usr/lib.
     - Add debian/patches/10-pkglibdir.patch: Set pkglibdir to
       /usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/lib instead of /usr/lib/postgresql.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.0+8.1beta4-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * Upgrade to 8.1beta4 release.
   * Adopt patches to new upstream version:
     - 09-relax-sslkey-permscheck.patch
   * debian/postgresql-8.1.postrm: clean_dir(): Ensure that directory is not a
     symbolic link before attempting to rmdir it. Closes: #333867
   * debian/rules: Remove obsolete --disable-spinlocks build option for mips.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.0+8.1beta3-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Upgrade to 8.1beta3 release.
   * Drop debian/patches/81-beta2.patch: beta2->beta3 changes are too big to be
     sensibly stuffed into a patch.
   * Adopt patches to new upstream version:
     - 03-gettext-domains.patch
   * Remove patches which are upstream now:
     - 52-contrib-dbf2pg-errorcheck.patch
     - 53-contrib-dbf2pg-textfield
   * debian/patches/09-relax-sslkey-permscheck.patch: Use effective rather than
     real group id for checking the private SSL certificate permissions. It
     does not make any practical difference, but is more consistent.
   * Rename patch 01-top-makefile.patch to 01-build-contrib.patch to give a
     better idea of what it does.
 .
 postgresql-8.1 (8.0+8.1beta-4) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Add debian/patches/09-relax-sslkey-permscheck.patch:
     - Relax security check on private SSL key file: The file is also
       considered safe if it has owner and/or group "root", and if it is
       group-readable (unless the group is something other than root or the
       database owner group).

   * debian/postgresql-8.1.postrm: Do not remove an empty /var/log/postgresql,
     postgresql-common now cares for it to not break log rotation. (See
     #325330)
   * Remove debian/postgresql-server-dev-8.1.manpages: Do not install the
     manpage, since it belongs to libpq-dev (which is currently built by
     postgresql-8.0). Closes: #327379
   * debian/postgresql-server-dev-8.1.install: Ship pg_config.
   * Build-depend on libpq-dev to pull in libpq4 dependencies for binary
     packages. This hack is necessary as long as we build libpq from
     postgresql-8.0. Closes: #327765

   * debian/control: Fix libpq4 description, it is compatible with servers
     starting from 7.3.
   * Move back client include files to /usr/include/postgresql/ for now to
     not render all client packages unbuildable which have not yet converted
     to pg_config:
     - debian/rules: Configure with include dir /usr/include/postgresql.
     - debian/libecpg-dev.install, debian/libpq-dev.install: Install files from
       and to /usr/include/postgresql
     - Add debian/patches/13_server_includedir.patch: Change server include
       directory back to /usr/include/postgresql/8.0/server since we do want to
       keep apart server include files.
     - Closes: #322085
   * Drop obsolete xml contrib module, build and ship xml2 instead:
     - Remove debian/patches/51-contrib-xml-enable.patch
     - Add debian/patches/51-contrib-xml2-enable.patch
     - debian/control: Add build dependency libxslt1-dev.
     - debian/postgresql-contrib-8.0.install: Ship pgxml.so, drop pgxml_dom.so.
     - Closes: #322777
   * Add debian/patches/14-mips-gcc4.patch:
     - Add a proper test-and-set function for mips and mipsel. Thanks to Thiemo
       Seufer for the patch and Aurelien Jarno for his help. This now also
       works with gcc 4.
   * debian/rules: Remove the --disable-spinlocks option for mips again, now
     that we have a proper patch for that.
 .
 postgresql-8.0 (8.0.3-12) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules:
     - Robustify log output in case of a failed test suite; also print out
       regression.diffs if it fails. Closes: #319218
     - Don't run the test suite if DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains "nocheck".
   * Add debian/check_installed_files to check for upstream installed files
     which are not shipped in any deb.
   * debian/postgresql-contrib-8.0.install: Ship pgxml_dom.so. Closes: #318922
 .
 postgresql-8.0 (8.0.3-11) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Add debian/patches/12-disable-root-check.patch: Disable "am I root" test
     in initdb and postmaster to be able to run the test suite at build time.
     This check is already done in pg_createcluster.
   * debian/rules: Remove all the chown/setuid crack and simply call "make
     check" now; print the log files if the test fails.
   * debian/patches/10-testsuite-params.patch: Disable authentication in the
     test suite db since ident authentication does not work with fakeroot.
 .
 postgresql-8.0 (8.0.3-10) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: If the test suite fails, don't let the build fail but rather
     cat the log files. Once the test suite calling works reliably, the
     previous behaviour can be restored.
 .
 postgresql-8.0 (8.0.3-9) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.6.2.
   * debian/rules: Use start-stop-daemon instead of su to call the test suite
     since su requires a terminal.
   * debian/rules: Disable spinlocks on mips and mipsel for now since they
     FTBFS with gcc-4.0.
 .
 postgresql-8.0 (8.0.3-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * postgresql-client-8.0: Now suggest postgresql-8.0; clarified the
     description wrt the server package (see #313247).
   * Fix README.Debian symlink.
   * Add debian/patches/10-testsuite-params.patch: Use /tmp as the socket
     directory when running the test suite.
   * debian/rules: Call the test suite when building the package. Since
     creating databases as root is not permitted, do this as "nobody" if run by
     root (as on the buildds); don't do it at all if run with fakeroot.
 .
 postgresql-8.0 (8.0.3-7) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Removed some redundant configure options which cdbs applies anyway.
   * configure with --enable-thread-safety-force on HPPA since the configure
     check triggers a kernel bug on the buildd. (See #315440)
   * debian/postgresql-8.0.init: autovac-* functions in postgresql-common were
     renamed to autovac_* to comply to POSIX shell standard (see #315551).
     Adaped dependencies.

       Closes: #313507, #313602
   * Adjusted packages to follow upstream library SONAME change in 8.0.3:
     libecpg4 -> libecpg5, libecpg-compat1 -> libecpg-compat2, 
     libpgtypes1 -> libpgtypes2. Closes: #313452, #313453, #313454

   * New upstream release:
     - Prevent calling conversion functions by users. [CAN-2005-1409]
     - Prevent calling tsearch2 functions by users. [CAN-2005-1410]
   * debian/libpq-dev.{install,links}: Install pg_config into
     /usr/lib/postgresql/8.0/bin to make it print correct paths, and install a
     symlink into /usr/bin instead. Closes: #305200
   * debian/rules: Change include dir configure option to
     /usr/include/postgresql/8.0, so that different versions of
     postgresql-server-dev-<version> do not conflict with each other. Since
     applications using the libpq-dev are supposed to use pg_config, this
     should not break them either.
