This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.3.11.

E.260.1. Migration to Version 7.3.12

A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.3.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 7.3.10, see Section E.262, « Release 7.3.10 ».

E.260.2. Changes

  • Fix race condition in transaction log management

    There was a narrow window in which an I/O operation could be initiated for the wrong page, leading to an Assert failure or data corruption.

  • /contrib/ltree fixes (Teodor)

  • Fix longstanding planning error for outer joins

    This bug sometimes caused a bogus error « RIGHT JOIN is only supported with merge-joinable join conditions ».

  • Prevent core dump in pg_autovacuum when a table has been dropped
