Обсуждение: Heads up: 7.3.6 and 7.4.2 coming soon
The core committee has agreed that it's about time to put out new
dot-releases in both the 7.3 and 7.4 branches. (The main thing forcing
this is the realization that permissions checks on view updates were
pretty badly broken by the now-reverted patch of 13-Feb-03 --- this
could be labeled a security issue.)
We have not chosen an exact date yet, but we are thinking of 7.3.6 late
this week or early next week, and 7.4.2 a week later.
So, if you've got any fixes you wanted to get into those branches,
time to get on it. I know that I discouraged a couple of people from
back-patching into 7.3.* on the grounds that "there probably won't be
another 7.3 release" ... well, I was wrong, so do it if you want.

Do you think that we'll have too a RPM binary distribution for the 7.3.6 ( the 7.3.5 don't have it yet ) ? We are stick on the 7.3.4 just because the guys on the operational side install only precompiled pachage :-( Regards Gaetano Mendola

I just wanted to note that IMHO a fix for the PL/PgSQL crash in 7.4.1 and HEAD (not sure about 7.3.x) that Chris Campbell recently reported should definitely be included in 7.4.2. If the bug is present in 7.3.x, it might also be worth backpatching. I'm happy to review & apply the patch Chris C. included with his bug report, but due to a lack of free time I won't be able to get around to it before Friday -- if you or anyone else wants to get it done before then you're more than welcome to. Cheers, Neil

We're looking at a 7.3 for next Monday, so if you can do it over the weekend, that would be great ... ---- Marc G.
