Changes
+ * Repair ancient race condition that allowed a transaction to be
+ seen as committed for some purposes (eg SELECT FOR UPDATE)
+ slightly sooner than for other purposes
+ This is an extremely serious bug since it could lead to apparent
+ data inconsistencies being briefly visible to applications.
+ * Repair race condition between relation extension and VACUUM
+ This could theoretically have caused loss of a page's worth of
+ freshly-inserted data, although the scenario seems of very low
+ probability. There are no known cases of it having caused more
+ than an Assert failure.
* Fix EXTRACT(EPOCH) for TIME WITH TIME ZONE values
* Additional buffer overrun checks in plpgsql (Neil)
* Fix pg_dump to dump index names and trigger names containing %
