<title>Overview</title>
<para>
Major changes in this release:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>
Native Win32 Server
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This is the first PostgreSQL release to natively support Microsoft
Windows as a server. It can run as a service and a separate
installer project has been created to ease installation, <ulink
url="http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller">
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller</ulink>
</para>
<para>
Previous releases required the Unix emulation toolkit Cygwin for
Win32 support. PostgreSQl has always supported clients on Win32.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
Tablespaces Simplify Disk Layout
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This release introduces tablespaces which allows administrators
to control the file system used for storage of databases,
schemas, tables, or indexes. This improves performance and
control over disk space usage. Prior releases used the inferior
<literal>initlocation</> and custom symlinks for such tasks.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
Savepoints Improve Transaction Control
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Savepoints allow specific parts of a transaction to be aborted
without affecting the remainder of the transaction. Prior
release had no such capability; there was no way to recover from
a statement failure in a transation. This feature is valuable
for application writers that required complex transaction control.
Future releases will add similar exception handling to server-side
languages.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
Point-In-Time Recovery Increases Reliability
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Though PostgreSQL is very reliable, in previous releases there
was no way to recover from disk drive failure except to restore
from a previous backup or use a standby replication server.
Point-in-time recovery allows continuous backup of the server.
You can recover either to the point of failure or to some
transaction in the past.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Migration to version 7.5</title>
<para>
A dump/restore using <application>pg_dump</application> is
required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous
release.
</para>
<para>
Observe the following incompatibilities:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
GUC parameters SortMem and VacuumMem have been renamed to
work_mem and maintenance_work_mem to better reflect their use.
The original names still supported.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
GUC parameters log_pid, log_timestamp, and log_source_port have been
removed now that a more flexible log_line_prefix has been added.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
GUC parameters virtual_host and tcpip_socket have been replaced
with a more general listen_addresses. Also, the server now
listens on localhost by default, which eliminates the need for
the -i postmaster switch in many scenarios.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
GUC parameter syslog has been removed and replaced with a more
logical log_destination variable to control the log output
destination.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
GUC parameter log_statement has been changed so it can restrict
logging of just database modification or data definition
statements.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
GUC parameter max_expr_depth parameter has been replaced with
max_stack_depth which measures the stack size rather than the
number of stack levels used. This helps prevent session
termination due to stack overflow caused by recursive functions.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
When matching GROUP BY names, prefer local FROM columns first, then SELECT
aliases, and FROM columns in upper subqueries.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
EXECUTE now returns a completion tag that matches the executed
statement.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The length() function no longer measures trailing spaces in
CHAR() values.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The server now warns of empty strings passed to oid/float4/float8
data types. In the next major release, doing this will generate an
error.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Function to_char() now returns the proper year for BC dates. It
previously returned one less than the current year. The function
now also returns the proper millennium and century.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
psql \copy now reads from the query stdin/stdout, rather than
psql's stdin/stdout. The previous behavior can be accessed via new
pstdin/pstdout parameters.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para> The JDBC client interface has been removed and is now
hosted at <ulink url=
"http://jdbc.postgresql.org">http://jdbc.postgresql.org</ulink>.
The TCL client interface has also been removed. There are several
now hosted at <ulink url=
"http://gborg.postgresql.org">http://gborg.postgresql.org</ulink>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The server now uses its own time zone database, rather than the
one supplied by the operating system. This should not change
the time zone behavior.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The configure threading option no longer requires users to run
tests or edit configuration files; threading options are now detected
automatically.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Now that tablespaces have been implemented, initlocation has been
removed.
