* 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.
