The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released version 8.4, continuing the rapid development of the world's most advanced open source database. This release contains an abundance of enhancements to make administering, querying, and programming of PostgreSQL databases easier than ever before. Our development team has spent 16 months adding over two hundred improvements to all aspects of database functionality, helping every PostgreSQL user in small or large ways. Many of the changes in PostgreSQL 8.4 are new or improved administration and monitoring tools and commands. Each user has their own favorite features which will make day-to-day work with PostgreSQL easier and more productive for them. Among the most popular enhancements are: * Parallel Database Restore, speeding up recovery from backup up to 8 times * Per-Column Permissions, allowing more granular control of sensitive data * Per-database Collation Support, making PostgreSQL more useful in multi-lingual environments * In-place Upgrades through pg_migrator (beta), enabling upgrades from 8.3 to 8.4 without extensive downtime * New Query Monitoring Tools, giving administrators more insight into query activity * Greatly Reduced VACUUM Overhead through the Visibility Map * New Monitoring Tools for current queries, query load and deadlocks Version 8.4 also makes data analysis easier through the advanced ANSI SQL2003 features of windowing functions, common table expressions and recursive queries. Enhancements to stored procedures, such as default parameters and variadic parameters, make database server programming simpler and more compact. Of course, there are also performance improvements included in this version. Download version 8.4 today and start enjoying using PostgreSQL even more! http://www.PostgreSQL.org

The PostgreSQL Project released updates to all active branches of the PostgreSQL object-relational database system, including versions 8.3.6, 8.2.12, 8.1.16, 8.0.20 and 7.4.24. These updates include two serious fixes, for autovacuum crashes in version 8.1 and GiST indexing data loss in 8.3, and those two versions should be updated as soon as possible. These update releases also include patches for several low-risk security holes, as well as up to 17 other minor fixes, depending on your major version of PostgreSQL. Included as well are Daylight Savings Time changes for Nepal, Switzerland and Cuba. See the release notes for full details. The first serious issue affects users who are using version 8.1 with Autovacuum, which will fail when XID rollover is required. The second serious issue can cause data loss when CLUSTER is used with GiST indexes (such as full text indexes) on version 8.3. Both issues are fixed in these releases. As with other minor releases, users are not required to dump and reload their database in order to apply this update release; you can simply shut down PostgreSQL and update its binaries. Users skipping more than one update should check the release notes for extra, post-update steps. As previously announced, only versions 8.2.12 and 8.3.6 of the Windows binaries are being released, as we no longer support 8.0 and 8.1 on Windows.
