After several fixes were backpatches to the 7_4_STABLE branch, we have now
released a 7.4.2.  As the list of Changes since 7.4.2 is quite small, they
are included in this email:

     * Fix pg_statistics alignment bug that could crash optimizer
     * Allow non-super users to update pg_settings
     * Fix several optimizer bugs, most of which led to "variable not
       found in subplan target lists" errors
     * Avoid out-of-memory failure during startup of large multiple index
       scan
     * Fix multibyte problem that could lead to "out of memory" error
       during "COPY IN"
     * Fix problems with "SELECT INTO" / "CREATE TABLE AS" from tables
       without OIDs
     * Fix problems with "alter_table" regression test during parallel
       testing
     * Fix problems with hitting open file limit, especially on OS X
       (Tom)
     * Partial fix for Turkish-locale issues
     * Make pg_dump set client encoding on restore
     * Other minor pg_dump fixes
     * Allow ecpg to again use C keywords as column names (Michael)
     * Added ecpg WHENEVER NOT_FOUND to SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (Michael)
     * Fix ecpg crash for queries calling set-returning functions (Michael)
     * Various other ecpg fixes (Michael)
     * Fixes for Borland compiler
     * Thread build improvements (Bruce)
     * Various other build fixes
     * Various JDBC fixes

Unlike most minor versions, this version does require some updates to the
pg_* system tables.  Full instructions for how to do this are included in
the full HISTORY file.

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

    http://www.postgresql.org/mirrors-www.html

And, thanks to David Fetter, is also available via BitTorrent at:

    http://bt.postgresql.org

I thought JDBC wasn't in the tarball anymore.  Or does that start with 7.5?

Just a quick note to express my thanks.

Great job folks.  Issues I had with 7.3.5 have been fixed (pg_dump and
dependancies) and the upgrade was quick and easy.

Keep up the good work.

Tim.

7.5.  The JDBC guys have been very good about back-patching stuff into
the 7.4 tree, even though it's now a separate CVS archive and thus extra
trouble for them.  Thanks guys!
