><DIV
CLASS="VARIABLELIST"
><DL
><DT
>VACUUM</DT
><DD
><P
>      Vacuuming no longer locks tables, thus allowing normal user
      access during the vacuum.  A new <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>VACUUM FULL</TT
>
      command does old-style vacuum by locking the table and
      shrinking the on-disk copy of the table.
     </P
></DD
><DT
>Transactions</DT
><DD
><P
>      There is no longer a problem with installations that exceed
      four billion transactions.
     </P
></DD
><DT
>OIDs</DT
><DD
><P
>      OIDs are now optional.  Users can now create tables without
      OIDs for cases where OID usage is excessive.
     </P
></DD
><DT
>Optimizer</DT
><DD
><P
>      The system now computes histogram column statistics during
      <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ANALYZE</TT
>, allowing much better optimizer choices.
     </P
></DD
><DT
>Security</DT
><DD
><P
>      A new MD5 encryption option allows more secure storage and
      transfer of passwords.  A new Unix-domain socket
      authentication option is available on Linux and BSD systems.
     </P
></DD
><DT
>Statistics</DT
><DD
><P
>      Administrators can use the new table access statistics module
      to get fine-grained information about table and index usage.
     </P
></DD
><DT
>Internationalization</DT
