Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all
supported versions of our database system, including 11.2, 10.7, 9.6.12,
9.5.16, and 9.4.21. This release changes the behavior in how PostgreSQL
interfaces with `fsync()` and includes fixes for partitioning and over
70 other bugs that were reported over the past three months.

Users should plan to apply this update at the next scheduled downtime.

FreeBSD port adds OPTIONS knob to support LLVM JIT. [1]

Highlight: Change in behavior with fsync()
------------------------------------------

When available in an operating system and enabled in the configuration
file (which it is by default), PostgreSQL uses the kernel function
`fsync()` to help ensure that data is written to a disk. In some
operating systems that provide `fsync()`, when the kernel is unable to
write out the data, it returns a failure and flushes the data that was
supposed to be written from its data buffers.

This flushing operation has an unfortunate side-effect for PostgreSQL:
if PostgreSQL tries again to write the data to disk by again calling
`fsync()`, `fsync()` will report back that it succeeded, but the data
that PostgreSQL believed to be saved to the disk would not actually be
written. This presents a possible data corruption scenario.

This update modifies how PostgreSQL handles a `fsync()` failure:
PostgreSQL will no longer retry calling `fsync()` but instead will
panic. In this case, PostgreSQL can then replay the data from the
write-ahead log (WAL) to help ensure the data is written. While this may
appear to be a suboptimal solution, there are presently few alternatives
and, based on reports, the problem case occurs extremely rarely.

A new server parameter `data_sync_retry` has been added to manage this
behavior. If you are certain that your kernel does not discard dirty
data buffers in such scenarios, you can set `data_sync_retry` to `on` to
restore the old behavior.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 10.5, 9.6.10, 9.5.14, 9.4.19,
9.3.24.  This release fixes two security issues as well as bugs reported over
the last three months.

If you have untrusted users accessing your system and you are either running
PostgreSQL 9.5 or a newer version OR have installed the "dblink" or
"postgres_fdw" extensions, you must apply this update as soon as possible. All
other users can upgrade at the next convenient downtime.

Please note that PostgreSQL changed its versioning scheme with the release of
version 10.0, so updating to version 10.5 from any 10.x release is considered a
minor update.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group also announces that the third beta
release of PostgreSQL 11 is now available for download. This release contains
previews of all features that will be available in the final release of
PostgreSQL 11 (though some details of the release could change before then) as
well as bug fixes that were reported during the second beta.

This release also changes the default option for the server packages to *not*
include XML support per default. If you need this, please check the XML option
knob and build the port.

2018-03-01 Security Update Release

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including 10.3, 9.6.8, 9.5.12,
9.4.17, and 9.3.22.

The purpose of this release is to address CVE-2018-1058, which describes how a
user can create like-named objects in different schemas that can change the
behavior of other users' queries and cause unexpected or malicious behavior,
also known as a "trojan-horse" attack. Most of this release centers around added
documentation that describes the issue and how to take steps to mitigate the
impact on PostgreSQL databases.

We strongly encourage all of our users to please visit
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/A_Guide_to_CVE-2018-1058:_Protect_Your_Search_Path
for a detailed explanation of CVE-2018-1058 and how to protect your PostgreSQL
installations.

After evaluating the documentation for CVE-2018-1058, a database administrator
may need to take follow up steps on their PostgreSQL installations to ensure
they are protected from exploitation.

PostgreSQL security updates

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 9.6.3, 9.5.7, 9.4.12, 9.3.17, and
9.2.21. This release fixes three security issues. It also patches a number of
other bugs reported over the last three months. Users who use the PGREQUIRESSL
environment variable to control connections, and users who rely on security
isolation between database users when using foreign servers, should update as
soon as possible. Other users should plan to update at the next convenient
downtime.
