                               Release Notes
+                               Release 7.4.1
+     Release date: 2003-12-15
+   This has a variety of fixes from 7.4.

+   A dump/restore is *not* required for those running 7.4.

+Changes
+   Changes as of 2003-12-14
+     * Fixed bug in CREATE SCHEMA parsing (Michael)
+     * Fix --enable-thread-safety compile error when used with
+       --with-perl (Peter)
+     * Fix for subqueries that used hash joins (Tom)
+       Certain subqueries that used hash joins would crash because of
+       improperly shared structures.
+     * Fix free space map compaction bug (Tom)
+       This fixes a bug where compaction of the free space map could lead
+       to a database server shutdown.
+     * Fix for Borland compiler build of libpq (Bruce)
+     * Fix netmask() and hostmask() to return the maximum-length masklen
+       (Tom)
+       Fix these functions to return values consistent with pre-7.4
+       releases.
+     * Several /contrib/pg_autovacuum fixes
+       Fixes include improper variable initialization, missing vacuum
+       after TRUNCATE, and duration computation overflow for long
+       vacuums.
+     * Allow compile of /contrib/cube under Cygwin (Jason Tishler)
+     * Fix Solaris use of password file when no passwords are defined
+       (Tom)
+       Fix crash on Solaris caused by use of any type of password
+       authentication when no passwords were defined.
+     * JDBC fix for thread problems, other fixes
+     * Fix for index bytea lookups (Joe)
+     * Fix information schema for bit data types (Peter)
+       To enable this fix, an initdb is required.
+     * Force zero_damaged_pages to be on during recovery from WAL
+     * Prevent some obscure cases of "variable not in subplan target
+       lists"
+     * Make PQescapeBytea and byteaout consistent with each other (Joe)
+     * Escape bytea output for bytes > 0x7e(Joe)
+       If different client encodings are used for bytea output and input,
+       it is possible for bytea values to be corrupted by the differing
+       encodings. This fix escapes all bytes that might be affected.
+     * Added missing SPI_finish() calls to dblink's
+       get_tuple_of_interest() (Joe)
