Release Date: 2015-06-05
This release contains a small number of fixes from 8.4.22lts2, adopted from the 9.0.21 release. For information about new features in the 8.4 major release, see Section E.28.
The PostgreSQL community has stopped releasing updates for the 8.4.X release series in July 2014. This update is a Long-Term-Support (LTS) community effort by credativ GmbH and not an official release by the PostgreSQL community.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.4.X.
However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.4.22, see Section E.6.
Remove configure's check prohibiting linking to a threaded libpython on OpenBSD (Tom Lane)
The failure this restriction was meant to prevent seems to not be a problem anymore on current OpenBSD versions.
Allow libpq to use TLS protocol versions beyond v1 (Noah Misch)
For a long time, libpq was coded so that the only SSL protocol it would allow was TLS v1. Now that newer TLS versions are becoming popular, allow it to negotiate the highest commonly-supported TLS version with the server. (PostgreSQL servers were already capable of such negotiation, so no change is needed on the server side.) This is a back-patch of a change already released in 9.4.0.
