PostgreSQL 6.3.2 Tue Apr 7 16:53:16 EDT 1998
-------------------------------------------------------------
A dump/restore is NOT required for those running 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.
