Changes

19+
* Repair ancient race condition that allowed a transaction to be
20+
seen as committed for some purposes (eg SELECT FOR UPDATE)
21+
slightly sooner than for other purposes
22+
This is an extremely serious bug since it could lead to apparent
23+
data inconsistencies being briefly visible to applications.
24+
* Repair race condition between relation extension and VACUUM
25+
This could theoretically have caused loss of a page's worth of
26+
freshly-inserted data, although the scenario seems of very low
27+
probability. There are no known cases of it having caused more
28+
than an Assert failure.
1929
* Fix EXTRACT(EPOCH) for TIME WITH TIME ZONE values
2030
* Additional buffer overrun checks in plpgsql (Neil)
2131
* Fix pg_dump to dump index names and trigger names containing %
