Data Corruption Fix

For users of PostgreSQL versions 9.3 or 9.4, this release fixes a problem where
the database will fail to protect against "multixact wraparound", resulting in
data corruption or loss. Users with a high transaction rate (1 million or more
per hour) in a database with many foreign keys are especially vulnerable. We
strongly urge all users of 9.4 and 9.3 to update their installations in the
next few days.

Users of versions 9.2 and earlier are not affected by this issue.

Update PostgreSQL-9.x to latests versions.

This update fixes multiple security issues reported in PostgreSQL over the past
few months. All of these issues require prior authentication, and some require
additional conditions, and as such are not considered generally urgent.
However, users should examine the list of security holes patched below in case
they are particularly vulnerable.

Security:	CVE-2015-0241,CVE-2015-0242,CVE-2015-0243,
		CVE-2015-0244,CVE-2014-8161

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
version of the database system, including versions 9.3.4, 9.2.8, 9.1.13,
9.0.17, and 8.4.21. This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with
replication and crash recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor
issues in all versions.  All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their
installations at the next possible downtime.  Users of older versions should
update at their convenience.

The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication
standbys, servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and
standalone servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes
unrecoverable index corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row
locking operations.  This can then cause query results to be inconsistent
depending on whether or not an index is used, and eventually lead to primary
key violations and similar issues.  For this reason, users are encouraged to
replace each of their standby databases with a new base backup after applying
the update.

See release notes for more changes.

A change specific to the FreeBSD port:
Modify the contrib/uuid-ossp to actually work (not crashing the backend) by
using the libc implementation of uuid instead of the ossp port. Schemas and
queries will just work. Based on the work of Andrew Gierth. 9.1+ EXTENSION
support added by girgen@.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces the beta release of
PostgreSQL 9.2, which will include major increases in performance and
both vertical and horizontal scalability.  The PostgreSQL Project asks
all users to download and begin testing 9.2 Beta as soon as possible.

Major performance and scalability advances in this version include:

* Index-only scans, allowing users to avoid inefficient scans of base
  tables
* Enhanced read-only workload scaling to 64 cores and over 300,000
  queries per second
* Improvements to data write speeds, including group commit
* Reductions in CPU power consumption
* Cascading replication, supporting geographically distributed standby
  databases

PostgreSQL 9.2 will also offer many new features for application
developers, including:

* JSON data support, enabling hybrid document-relational databases
* Range types, supporting new types of calendar, time-series and
* analytic applications
* Multiple improvements to ALTER and other statements, easing runtime
* database updates

For a full listing of the features in version 9.2 Beta, please see the
release notes:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/release-9-2.html

We depend on our community to help test the next version in order to
guarantee that it is high-performance and bug-free.  Please install
PostgreSQL 9.2 Beta and try it with your workloads and applications as
soon as you can, and give feedback to the PostgreSQL developers.  More
information on how to test and report issues:
