Release date: 2007-04-23
This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.0.12, including a security fix. For information about new features in the 8.0 major release, see Section E.280.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.0.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.0.6, see Section E.274.
     Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within
     search_path, and disable searching it for functions
     and operators (Tom)
    
     This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a
     truly secure value of search_path.  Without it,
     an unprivileged SQL user can use temporary objects to execute code
     with the privileges of the security-definer function (CVE-2007-2138).
     See CREATE FUNCTION for more information.
