PostgreSQL Minor Versions 8.2.5, 8.1.10, etc. Released

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released the minor update
versions updating all current and recent versions of PostgreSQL, including
8.2, 8.1, 8.0, 7.4 and 7.3. The primary fix in these versions is updating
PostgreSQL for the upcoming New Zealand time zone change; users in that
country are urged to update their database servers immediately. Other
users are encouraged to update their installations at their earliest
convenience.

Additional fixes contained in this release include minor security fixes
for dblink and pgstattuple, a potential index-corruption issue with
vacuum, fixes for GIN indexing, and logging improvements. For a full list
of fixes contained in the release, see the release notes:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release.html

The PGDG urges all users, in New Zealand or otherwise, to update ther
servers as soon as possible. PostgreSQL users should always run the latest
minor release of their major PostgreSQL version. The first two digits of
your PostgreSQL version are the major version, and the last digit is the
minor (or "patch") release.

Those latest versions are now 8.2.5, 8.1.10, 8.0.14, 7.4.18, and 7.3.20

No dump & reload or additional steps are required for those upgrading from
any recent minor release. For users upgrading from much older releases,
please read the release notes.

Source code and binaries for some platforms are available from:
http://www.postgresql.org/downloads
