Update release notes for last-minute fix.

Fix aboriginal mistake in lazy VACUUM's code for truncating away

2007-09-16T02:38:02+00:00

no-longer-needed pages at the end of a table.  We thought we could throw away
pages containing HEAPTUPLE_DEAD tuples; but this is not so, because such
tuples very likely have index entries pointing at them, and we wouldn't have
removed the index entries.  The problem only emerges in a somewhat unlikely
race condition: the dead tuples have to have been inserted by a transaction
that later aborted, and this has to have happened between VACUUM's initial
scan of the page and then rechecking it for empty in count_nondeletable_pages.
But that timespan will include an index-cleaning pass, so it's not all that
hard to hit.  This seems to explain a couple of previously unsolved bug
reports.

Make REINDEX DATABASE silently skip remote temp tables.

2007-09-12T20:21:23+00:00

Per report from bitsandbytes88  hotmail.com and subsequent discussion.

This is a back patch of a patch committed yesterday to CLUSTER and REINDEX.
REINDEX only processes user indexes as of 8.1, so we needn't backpatch this any
further.  (CLUSTER was backpatched separately all the way back to 7.4).

Fix the database-wide version of CLUSTER to silently skip temp tables of

2007-09-12T15:16:20+00:00

remote sessions, instead of erroring out in the middle of the operation.

This is a backpatch of a previous fix applied to CLUSTER to HEAD and 8.2, all
the way back that it is relevant to.

Add a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call in the site where the vacuum delay point

2007-09-12T02:05:55+00:00

was removed.

Sync timezone data with 2007g zic release.
