• Fix error in COPY IN termination when using the old network protocol (ljb)
• Several important fixes in pg_autovacuum (Matthew T. O'Connor)
• Fix problem with reading tar-format dumps on NetBSD and BSD/OS (Bruce)
• Several JDBC fixes
• Fix ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART where last_value equals the restart value (Tom)
• Repair failure to recalculate nested sub-selects (Tom)
• Fix problems with non-constant expressions in LIMIT/OFFSET
• Support FULL JOIN with no join clause, such as X FULL JOIN Y ON TRUE (Tom)
• Fix another zero-column table bug (Tom)
• Improve handling of non-qualified identifiers in GROUP BY clauses in sub-selects (Tom)
• Do not generate "NATURAL CROSS JOIN" when decompiling rules (Tom)
• Add checks for invalid field length in binary COPY (Tom)
• Avoid locking conflict between ANALYZE and LISTEN/NOTIFY
• Numerous translation updates (various contributors)

As always, this release is available via ftp on all our mirrors.
