This is a bug-fix release for 6.3.x.
Refer to the release notes for version 6.3 for a more complete summary of new features.
Summary:
Repairs automatic configuration support for some platforms, including Linux,
from breakage inadvertently introduced in version 6.3.1.
Correctly handles function calls on the left side of BETWEEN and LIKE clauses.
A dump/restore is NOT required for those running 6.3 or 6.3.1. A
make distclean, make, and make install is all that is required.
This last step should be performed while the postmaster is not running.
You should re-link any custom applications that use PostgreSQL libraries.
For upgrades from pre-6.3 installations,
refer to the installation and migration instructions for version 6.3.
