<title>Release 8.0.2</title>
<note>
<title>Release date</title>
<simpara>2005-04-07</simpara>
</note>
<para>
This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.0.1.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>Migration to version 8.0.2</title>
<para>
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.0.*.
This release does update the major version number of the
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> libraries so it might be
necessary to re-link some user applications if they cannot
find the properly-numbered shared library.

</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>New cache replacement policy <acronym>2Q</> replaces
<acronym>ARC</> (Tom)</para>
<para>
This was done to void a pending US patent on <acronym>ARC</>. The
<acronym>2Q</> code might be a few percentage points slower than
<acronym>ARC</> for busy sites. Another new cache replacement
policy will appear in 8.1.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Change the Win32 default for config variable
<varname>log_destination</> to <option>eventlog</> (Magnus)</para>
<para>
This, by default, will send all Win32 server log output to the Win32 event
logger rather than standard error.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Fix crash of some <filename>/contrib/pgcrypto</>
functions on some platforms (Neil)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Allow <command>ALTER DATABASE RENAME</> by superusers
who can't create databases (Tom)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Increment the major version number of all interface
libraries (Bruce)</para>
<para>
This should have been done in 8.0.0. It is required so 7.4.X versions
of PostgreSQL client applications, like <application>psql</>,
can be used on the same machine as 8.0.X applications. This might require
re-linking user applications that use these libraries.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Do not use locale-aware versions of <function>upper()</>,
<function>lower()</>, and <function>initcap()</> when the locale is <literal>C</>.
(Bruce)</para>
<para>
This allows these functions to work on platforms that sometimes
generate errors with a locale of <literal>C</> and a non-<literal>SQL_ASCII</>
encoding.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Enable the <varname>wal_sync_method</> variable value of
<option>open_datasync</> on Win32, and make it the default for that
platform. (Magnus, Bruce)</para>
<para>
This makes Win32 behave like other supported platforms that require the
administrator to make sure that data is guarantted to be written to permanent
storage after a sync operation. To turn off the write cache on Win32,
from the <application>Device Manager</>, chose the drive properties,
then <literal>Policies</>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Add Win32-only <varname>wal_sync_method</> value of <option>
fsync_writethrough</> to write through any write cache between the
operating system and the drive when doing a sync.
(Magnus, Bruce)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Fix crash from a backend exiting an open transaction
with a <command>CREATE</> and a <command>FETCH</> (Tom)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Work around gcc bug on powerpc and amd64 causing problems in
ecpg (Christof Petig)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Modify WAL log entries for <command>CREATE</> and <command>
DROP DATABASE</> to not specify absolute paths</para>
<para>This allows point-in-time recovery on a different machine. (Tom)
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Fix <filename>/contrib/intagg</> for 64-bit platforms
(Tom)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Convert plpython function bodies containing <literal>\r\n</>
and <literal>\r</> to <literal>\n</> (Michael Fuhr)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Allow Kerberos to work on Win32 (Magnus)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Fix <function>to_date()</> to behave reasonably when
<literal>CC</> and <literal>YY</> fields are both used (Karel)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Prevent <function>to_char(interval)</> from failing
when given a zero-month interval (Tom)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Fix wrong week returned by <function>date_trunc('week')</para>
<para>
This was a problem for early January dates. <function>date_trunc('week')</>
returned the wrong year for <literal> 2005-01-01</> and <literal>2006-01-01</>
