After several fixes were backpatches to the 7_3_STABLE branch, we have now
released a 7.3.5. As the list of Changes since 7.3.4 is quite small, they
are included in this email:

* Force zero_damaged_pages to be on during recovery from WAL
* Prevent some obscure cases of "variable not in subplan target
lists"
* Force stats processes to detach from shared memory, ensuring
cleaner shutdown
* Make PQescapeBytea and byteaout consistent with each other (Joe)
* Added missing SPI_finish() calls to get_tuple_of_interest() (Joe)
* Fix for possible foreign key violation when rule rewrites INSERT
(Jan)
* Support qualified type names in PL/Tcl's spi_prepare command (Jan)
* Make pg_dump handle a procedural language handler located in
pg_catalog
* Make pg_dump handle cases where a custom opclass is in another
schema
* Make pg_dump dump binary-compatible casts correctly (Jan)
* Fix insertion of expressions containing subqueries into rule
bodies
* Fix incorrect argument processing in clusterdb script (Anand
Ranganathan)
* Fix problems with dropped columns in plpython triggers
* Repair problems with to_char() reading past end of its input
string (Karel)
* Fix GB18030 mapping errors (Tatsuo)
* Fix several problems with SSL error handling and asynchronous SSL
I/O
* Remove ability to bind a list of values to a single parameter in
JDBC (prevents possible SQL-injection attacks)
* Fix some errors in HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP code paths
* Fix corner case for btree search in parallel with first root page
split

This version, as with most minor versions, does not require a dump/reload
to put into place.

As always, this release is available on all our mirrors, viable at:
