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 %
