The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today released minor version updates for all active branches of the PostgreSQL object-relational database system, including versions 9.1.1, 9.0.5, 8.4.9, 8.3.16 and 8.2.22.
All users are strongly urged to update their installations at the next scheduled downtime.
The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates for version 8.2 later this year. Users are encouraged to upgrade to a newer version as soon as possible. See our Release support policy.
This release fixes a long list of bugs, including several potential crash and data-corruption issues, including:
The releases included 11 patches to 9.1, 147 patches to 9.0, 96 patches to 8.4, 73 patches to 8.3 and 52 patches to 8.2.
See the release notes for each version for a full list of changes with details.
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 shut down PostgreSQL
and update its binaries. Users skipping more than one update may need to check the release notes for extra, post-update steps.
