Changes Changes
* Repair ancient race condition that allowed a transaction to be
seen as committed for some purposes (eg SELECT FOR UPDATE)
slightly sooner than for other purposes
This is an extremely serious bug since it could lead to apparent
data inconsistencies being briefly visible to applications.
* Repair race condition between relation extension and VACUUM
This could theoretically have caused loss of a page's worth of
freshly-inserted data, although the scenario seems of very low
probability. There are no known cases of it having caused more
than an Assert failure.
* Fix EXTRACT(EPOCH) for TIME WITH TIME ZONE values * Fix EXTRACT(EPOCH) for TIME WITH TIME ZONE values
