AFAIK: 1. Tuple freezing and hint bits were not WAL-logged, which could lead to data corruption if database crashed after VACUUM. See recent thread titled "WAL logging freezing". 2. B-tree page deletion bug, which could lead to VACUUM erroring with "failed to re-find parent key" message.

I've adjusted the links on the website to match what's actually up there, but it might be a good idea to remove the beta2 directory from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/ lest someone gets confused about where to look for the most recent beta. -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter LAMP :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

I have asked a couple of people to look over and test the patch I posted on Sunday, but i have not had any reaction so far and feel slightly nervous about applying it. I will make some time to do more testing myself this weekend. cheers andrew
