* New upstream bug fix release (LP: #1461425)
  - Avoid failures while fsync'ing data directory during crash restart.

    In the previous minor releases we added a patch to fsync everything in
    the data directory after a crash. Unfortunately its response to any
    error condition was to fail, thereby preventing the server from starting
    up, even when the problem was quite harmless. An example is that an
    unwritable file in the data directory would prevent restart on some
    platforms; but it is common to make SSL certificate files unwritable by
    the server. Revise this behavior so that permissions failures are
    ignored altogether, and other types of failures are logged but do not
    prevent continuing.

 - See release notes for details about other fixes.

* 9.4 released.

* First 9.4 RC release.
* Update psql call in dump-reload instructions.
* Reenable 010_pg_basebackup.t tests, fixed upstream.

8. By Christoph Berg on 2014-10-16

Temporarily disable failing test in 010_pg_basebackup.t.

7. By Christoph Berg on 2014-10-15

* postgresql-9.4.preinst: Output detailed dump-reload instructions when
  refusing the package upgrade, and also add a NEWS item about it.
  (Closes: #764705)
* Add libipc-run-perl for the regression tests which otherwise skip large
  parts.
* Update Standards-Version.

6. By Christoph Berg on 2014-10-07

* New upstream beta version.
  + Catalog version number changed, older 9.4 clusters need to be dumped and
    reloaded.
  + Regexp regression fixed. (Closes: #760564)
  + CACHE_LINE_SIZE definition renamed to mitigate conflict on *BSD.
    (Closes: #763098)

[ Martin Pitt ]
* Add missing logrotate test dependency.

[ Christoph Berg ]
* Set Multi-Arch: foreign in postgresql-client-9.4 and postgresql-doc-9.4.
  (Closes: #757520; do it even on non-multiarch dists, it doesn't hurt.)
* Fix postgresql_fdw in description, spotted by Andrei Popescu, thanks!
  (Closes: #762389)

5. By Colin Watson on 2014-08-21

Rebuild for Perl 5.20.0.

* New upstream beta version.
  + Secure Unix-domain sockets of temporary postmasters started during make
    check (Noah Misch)

    Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the
    server's bootstrap superuser, then proceed to execute arbitrary code as
    the operating-system user running the test, as we previously noted in
    CVE-2014-0067. This change defends against that risk by placing the
    server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory of /tmp.

* postgresql-9.4.preinst: Fail upgrade when upgrading from beta1, the
  catalog version changed. People should dump/remove their old clusters
  first.
* Use util-linux' uuid lib as backend for the uuid-ossp extension
  (--with-uuid=e2fs).
* Enable sepgsql (--with-selinux). On systems with libselinux1-dev < 2.1.10,
  this is automatically disabled.
* Revert multiarch for libpq-dev and libecpg-dev. (Closes: #750111, #750112)
* Remove our pg_regress patches to support --host=/path. Implemented
  upstream as fix for CVE-2014-0067.
* debian/copyright: Say that there are various copyright holders for the
  contrib modules. (Hello Lintian!)
* Update Vcs URLs.
