Release date: 2017-08-16
This release is based on Postgres Pro Enterprise 9.6.3.2 and Postgres Pro Standard 9.6.4.1.
Major enhancements over Postgres Pro Enterprise 9.6.3.2 include:
Updated the pg_probackup backup manager to version 2.0
Module pg_pathman updated to version 1.4.2
In Compressed File System implementation, fixed a memory leak.
Fixed potential data corruption in the online_analyze contrib module.
Fixed ALTER COLUMN operation for tables with
indexes.
Improved multimaster extension:
Fixed ALTER SYSTEM SET
command.
Fixed unexpected timeout of asynchronous connection.
Fixed invalid transaction state while walsender executing snapshot.
Added primary key to schedule tables for the support of multimaster in pgpro_scheduler.
A dump/restore using pg_dumpall, or use of pg_upgrade, is required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous major release.
A dump/restore is required for those running Postgres Pro Enterprise 9.6.3.2, because catalog number format has been changed for better Postgres Pro Enterprise identification.
Dump/restore is necessary when migrating from PostgreSQL, Postgres Pro Standard, or Postgres Pro Enterprise edition.
For upgrades from previous releases of Postgres Pro Enterprise, Postgres Pro Standard, or PostgreSQL 9.6.x, some catalog changes should be applied.
If you use binary packages, and your database is in the default
location, this upgrade should be performed automatically. If you've
created your database in
a non-default location, running initdb manually, you
should run the pgpro_upgrade script provided in this
distribution.
Before running the script, you should stop the postgres service.
The script should be run on behalf of the user owning the database
(typically postgres), and the PGDATA environment variable should be
set to the directory where the database resides.
