    A dump/restore is not required for those running 15.X.
   </para>

   <para>
    However, if you have any self-referential foreign key constraints on
    partitioned tables, it may be necessary to recreate those constraints
    to ensure that they are being enforced correctly.  See the second
    changelog entry below.

   <para>
    Also, if you have any BRIN bloom indexes, it may be advisable to
    reindex them after updating.  See the third changelog entry below.

      Handle self-referential foreign keys on partitioned tables correctly
      (Álvaro Herrera)
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;6ba979cf5">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      Creating or attaching partitions failed to make the required catalog
      entries for a foreign-key constraint, if the table referenced by the
      constraint was the same partitioned table.  This resulted in failure
      to enforce the constraint fully.
     </para>

     <para>
      To fix this, you should drop and recreate any self-referential
      foreign keys on partitioned tables, if partitions have been created
      or attached since the constraint was created.  Bear in mind that
      violating rows might already be present, in which case recreating
      the constraint will fail, and you'll need to fix up those rows
      before trying again.

      Avoid data loss when merging compressed BRIN summaries
      in <function>brin_bloom_union()</function> (Tomas Vondra)
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;e064b770c">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      The code failed to account for decompression results not being
      identical to the input objects, which would result in failure to add
      some of the data to the merged summary, leading to missed rows in
      index searches.
     </para>

     <para>
      This mistake was present back to v14 where BRIN bloom indexes were
      introduced, but this code path was only rarely reached then.  It's
      substantially more likely to be hit in v17 because parallel index
      builds now use the code.

      Improve behavior of <application>libpq</application>'s quoting
      functions (Andres Freund, Tom Lane)

     </para>

     <para>
      The changes made for CVE-2025-1094 had one serious oversight:
      <function>PQescapeLiteral()</function>
      and <function>PQescapeIdentifier()</function> failed to honor their
      string length parameter, instead always reading to the input
      string's trailing null.  This resulted in including unwanted text in
      the output, if the caller intended to truncate the string via the
      length parameter.  With very bad luck it could cause a crash due to
      reading off the end of memory.
     </para>

     <para>
      In addition, modify all these quoting functions so that when invalid
      encoding is detected, an invalid sequence is substituted for just
      the first byte of the presumed character, not all of it.  This
      reduces the risk of problems if a calling application performs
      additional processing on the quoted string.

      Harden <function>PQescapeString</function> and allied functions
      against invalidly-encoded input strings (Andres Freund, Noah Misch)

     </para>

     <para>
      Data-quoting functions supplied by <application>libpq</application>
      now fully check the encoding validity of their input.  If invalid
      characters are detected, they report an error if possible.  For the
      ones that lack an error return convention, the output string is
      adjusted to ensure that the server will report invalid encoding and
      no intervening processing will be fooled by bytes that might happen
      to match single quote, backslash, etc.
     </para>

     <para>
      The purpose of this change is to guard against SQL-injection attacks
      that are possible if one of these functions is used to quote crafted
      input.  There is no hazard when the resulting string is sent
      directly to a <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server (which
      would check its encoding anyway), but there is a risk when it is
      passed through <application>psql</application> or other client-side
      code.  Historically such code has not carefully vetted encoding, and
      in many cases it's not clear what it should do if it did detect such
      a problem.
     </para>

     <para>
      This fix is effective only if the data-quoting function, the server,
      and any intermediate processing agree on the character encoding
      that's being used.  Applications that insert untrusted input into
      SQL commands should take special care to ensure that that's true.
     </para>

     <para>
      Applications and drivers that quote untrusted input without using
      these <application>libpq</application> functions may be at risk of
      similar problems.  They should first confirm the data is valid in
      the encoding expected by the server.
     </para>

      Do not
      check <literal>datallowconn</literal>, <literal>rolcanlogin</literal>,
      and <literal>ACL_CONNECT</literal> privileges when starting a
      parallel worker, instead assuming that it's enough for the leader
      process to have passed similar checks originally.  This avoids, for
      example, unexpected failures of parallelized queries when the leader
      is running as a role that lacks login privilege.  In the same vein,
      enforce <literal>ReservedConnections</literal>,
      <literal>datconnlimit</literal>, and <literal>rolconnlimit</literal>
      limits only against regular backends, and count only regular
      backends while checking if the limits were already reached.  Those
      limits are meant to prevent excessive consumption of process slots
      for regular backends --- but parallel workers and other special
      processes have their own pools of process slots with their own limit
      checks.

      Fix data corruption when relation truncation fails (Thomas Munro)

     </para>

     <para>
      The filesystem calls needed to perform relation truncation could
      fail, leaving inconsistent state on disk (for example, effectively
      reviving deleted data).  We can't really prevent that, but we can
      recover by dint of making such failures into PANICs, so that
      consistency is restored by replaying from WAL up to just before the
      attempted truncation.  This isn't a hugely desirable behavior, but
      such failures are rare enough that it seems an acceptable solution.

     <para>
      The previous coding was intended to assure that the operation could
      not accidentally overwrite an existing file.  However a failure
      could leave two links to the same file in existence, confusing
      subsequent operations and creating a risk of data corruption.
      In practice we do not use this functionality in places where the
      target filename could already exist, so it seems better to give up
      the no-overwrite guarantee to remove the multiple-link hazard.

      Fix cases where an operator family member operator or support
      procedure could become a dangling reference (Tom Lane)

      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;d40191467">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      In some cases a data type could be dropped while references to its
      OID still remain in <structname>pg_amop</structname>
      or <structname>pg_amproc</structname>.  While that caused no
      immediate issues, an attempt to drop the owning operator family
      would fail, and <application>pg_dump</application> would produce
      bogus output when dumping the operator family.  This fix causes
      creation and modification of operator families/classes to add
      needed dependency entries so that dropping a data type will also
      drop any dependent operator family elements.  That does not help
      vulnerable pre-existing operator families, though, so a band-aid has
      also been added to <command>DROP OPERATOR FAMILY</command> to
      prevent failure when dropping a family that has dangling members.

      The equality function could modify or delete the object if it's

      probably no problem with any built-in equality function, but it's
      easy to demonstrate a failure with one coded in PL/pgSQL.

      Ensure that expression preprocessing is applied to a default null

     <para>
      If the target column is of a domain type, the planner must insert a
      coerce-to-domain step not just a null constant, and this expression
      missed going through some required processing steps.  There is no
      known consequence with domains based on core data types, but in
      theory an error could occur with domains based on extension types.

      Fix cases where a logical replication

      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;91771b3fb">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      Previously, restarting logical replication could sometimes cause the
      slot's restart point to be recomputed as an older value than had
      previously been advertised
      in <structname>pg_replication_slots</structname>.  This is bad,
      since for example WAL files might have been removed on the basis of
      the later <structfield>restart_lsn</structfield> value, in which
      case replication would fail to restart.

      Avoid deleting still-needed WAL files

     </para>

     <para>
      Previously, in unlucky cases, it was possible
      for <application>pg_rewind</application> to remove important WAL
      files from the rewound demoted primary.  In particular this happens
      if those files have been marked for archival (i.e.,
      their <filename>.ready</filename> files were created) but not yet
      archived.  Then the newly promoted node no longer has such files
      because of them having been recycled, but likely they are needed
      for recovery in the demoted node.
      If <application>pg_rewind</application> removes them, recovery is
      not possible anymore.

      Ensure cached plans are marked as dependent on the calling role when

     <para>
      If a CTE, subquery, sublink, security invoker view, or coercion
      projection in a query references a table with row-level security
      policies, we neglected to mark the resulting plan as potentially
      dependent on which role is executing it.  This could lead to later
      query executions in the same session using the wrong plan, and then
      returning or hiding rows that should have been hidden or returned
      instead.

      Make <application>libpq</application> discard error messages
      received during SSL or GSS protocol negotiation (Jacob Champion)
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;d2c3e31c1">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      An error message received before encryption negotiation is completed
      might have been injected by a man-in-the-middle, rather than being
      real server output.  Reporting it opens the door to various security
      hazards; for example, the message might spoof a query result that a
      careless user could mistake for correct output.  The best answer
      seems to be to discard such data and rely only
      on <application>libpq</application>'s own report of the connection
      failure.

      Fix unintended interactions between <command>SET SESSION
      AUTHORIZATION</command> and <command>SET ROLE</command> (Tom Lane)
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;a5d2e6205">&sect;</ulink>
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;109a32380">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      The SQL standard mandates that <command>SET SESSION
      AUTHORIZATION</command> have a side-effect of doing <command>SET
      ROLE NONE</command>.  Our implementation of that was flawed,
      creating more interaction between the two settings than intended.
      Notably, rolling back a transaction that had done <command>SET
      SESSION AUTHORIZATION</command> would revert <literal>ROLE</literal>
      to <literal>NONE</literal> even if that had not been the previous
      state, so that the effective user ID might now be different from
      what it had been before the transaction.  Transiently
      setting <varname>session_authorization</varname> in a
      function <literal>SET</literal> clause had a similar effect.
      A related bug was that if a parallel worker
      inspected <literal>current_setting('role')</literal>, it
      saw <literal>none</literal> even when it should see something else.

     <para>
      Fix updates of catalog state for foreign-key constraints when
      attaching or detaching table partitions (Jehan-Guillaume de
      Rorthais, Tender Wang, Álvaro Herrera)
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;5d83bad6b">&sect;</ulink>
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;1b216fcef">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      If the referenced table is partitioned, then different catalog
      entries are needed for a referencing table that is stand-alone
      versus one that is a partition.  <literal>ATTACH/DETACH
      PARTITION</literal> commands failed to perform this conversion
      correctly.  In particular, after <literal>DETACH</literal> the now
      stand-alone table would be missing foreign-key enforcement triggers,
      which could result in the table later containing rows that fail the
      foreign-key constraint.  A subsequent re-<literal>ATTACH</literal>
      could fail with surprising errors, too.
     </para>

     <para>
      The way to fix this is to do <command>ALTER TABLE DROP
      CONSTRAINT</command> on the now stand-alone table for each faulty
      constraint, and then re-add the constraint.  If re-adding the
      constraint fails, then some erroneous data has crept in.  You will
      need to manually re-establish consistency between the referencing
      and referenced tables, then re-add the constraint.
     </para>

     <para>
      This query can be used to identify broken constraints and construct
      the commands needed to recreate them:
<programlisting>
SELECT conrelid::pg_catalog.regclass AS "constrained table",
       conname AS constraint,
       confrelid::pg_catalog.regclass AS "references",
       pg_catalog.format('ALTER TABLE %s DROP CONSTRAINT %I;',
                         conrelid::pg_catalog.regclass, conname) AS "drop",
       pg_catalog.format('ALTER TABLE %s ADD CONSTRAINT %I %s;',
                         conrelid::pg_catalog.regclass, conname,
                         pg_catalog.pg_get_constraintdef(oid)) AS "add"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint c
WHERE contype = 'f' AND conparentid = 0 AND
   (SELECT count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint c2
    WHERE c2.conparentid = c.oid) &lt;&gt;
   (SELECT count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_inherits i
    WHERE (i.inhparent = c.conrelid OR i.inhparent = c.confrelid) AND
      EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM pg_catalog.pg_partitioned_table
              WHERE partrelid = i.inhparent));
</programlisting>
      Since it is possible that one or more of the <literal>ADD
      CONSTRAINT</literal> steps will fail, you should save the query's
      output in a file and then attempt to perform each step.
     </para>

      After repartitioning the inner side of a hash join because one
      partition has accumulated too many tuples, we check to see if all
      the partition's tuples went into the same child partition, which
      suggests that they all have the same hash value and further
      repartitioning cannot improve matters.  This check malfunctioned in
      some cases, allowing repeated futile repartitioning which would
      eventually end in a resource-exhaustion error.

      Normal row updates write a new version of the row to preserve
      rollback-ability of the transaction.  However, certain system
      catalog updates are intentionally non-transactional and are done
      with an in-place update of the row.  These patches fix race
      conditions that could cause the effects of an in-place update to be
      lost.  As an example, it was possible to forget having set
      <structname>pg_class</structname>.<structfield>relhasindex</structfield>
      to true, preventing updates of the new index and thus causing index
      corruption.

      This case arose while trying to print references to fields of a
      RECORD-type output of a subquery when the subquery has been
      optimized out of the plan altogether (which is possible at least in
      the case that it has a constant-false <literal>WHERE</literal>
      condition).  Nothing remains in the plan to identify the original
      field names, so fall back to
      printing <literal>f<replaceable>N</replaceable></literal> for
      the <replaceable>N</replaceable>'th record column.  (That's actually
      the right thing anyway, if the record output arose from

     <para>
      Use a smaller default block size to store tuple data received during
      logical replication.  This reduces memory wastage, which has been
      reported to be severe while processing long-running transactions,
      even leading to out-of-memory failures.

      Re-disable sending of stateless (TLSv1.2) session tickets

     <para>
      A previous change to prevent sending of stateful (TLSv1.3) session
      tickets accidentally re-enabled sending of stateless ones.  Thus,
      while we intended to prevent clients from thinking that TLS session
      resumption is supported, some still did.

      Fix <application>pg_dump</application>'s handling of identity

      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;fc2d1ac1a">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      Since v15, it's been possible to set an identity sequence to be
      LOGGED when its owning table is UNLOGGED or vice versa.
      However, <application>pg_dump</application>'s method for recreating
      that situation failed in binary-upgrade mode,
      causing <application>pg_upgrade</application> to fail when such
      sequences are present.  Fix by introducing a new option
      for <literal>ADD/ALTER COLUMN GENERATED AS IDENTITY</literal> to
      allow the sequence's persistence to be set correctly at creation.
      Note that this means a dump from a database containing such a
      sequence will only load into a server of this minor version or
      newer.

      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;2b94ee58b">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      This <application>tzdata</application> release changes the old
      System-V-compatibility zone names to duplicate the corresponding
      geographic zones; for example <literal>PST8PDT</literal> is now an
      alias for <literal>America/Los_Angeles</literal>.  The main visible
      consequence is that for timestamps before the introduction of
      standardized time zones, the zone is considered to represent local
      mean solar time for the named location.  For example,
      in <literal>PST8PDT</literal>, <type>timestamptz</type> input such
      as <literal>1801-01-01 00:00</literal> would previously have been
      rendered as <literal>1801-01-01 00:00:00-08</literal>, but now it is
      rendered as <literal>1801-01-01 00:00:00-07:52:58</literal>.
     </para>

     <para>
      Also, historical corrections for Mexico, Mongolia, and Portugal.
      Notably, <literal>Asia/Choibalsan</literal> is now an alias
      for <literal>Asia/Ulaanbaatar</literal> rather than being a separate
      zone, mainly because the differences between those zones were found to
      be based on untrustworthy data.

     </para>

     <para>
      An attacker able to create and drop non-temporary objects could
      inject SQL code that would be executed by a
      concurrent <application>pg_dump</application> session with the
      privileges of the role running <application>pg_dump</application>
      (which is often a superuser).  The attack involves replacing a
      sequence or similar object with a view or foreign table that will
      execute malicious code.  To prevent this, introduce a new server
      parameter <varname>restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind</varname> that
      can disable expansion of non-builtin views as well as access to
      foreign tables, and teach <application>pg_dump</application> to set
      it when available.  Note that the attack is prevented only if
      both <application>pg_dump</application> and the server it is dumping
      from are new enough to have this fix.

     <para>
      The <literal>CREATE</literal> command failed to adjust column
      references in statistics expressions to the possibly-different
      column numbering of the new table.  This resulted in invalid
      statistics objects that would cause problems later.  A typical

      When starting a standby's replay at a shutdown checkpoint WAL

      But subtransactions of a prepared transaction (created by savepoints
      or <application>PL/pgSQL</application> exception blocks) were not
      accounted for and would be treated as aborted.  That led to
      inconsistency if the prepared transaction was later committed.

      These views failed to hide statistics for expressions that involve
      columns the accessing user does not have permission to read.  View
      columns such as <structfield>most_common_vals</structfield> might
      expose security-relevant data.  The potential interactions here are

      make rows in these views visible only to the owner of the associated

      (CVE-2024-4317)
     </para>

     <para>
      By itself, this fix will only fix the behavior in newly initdb'd
      database clusters.  If you wish to apply this change in an existing
      cluster, you will need to do the following:
     </para>

     <procedure>
      <step>
       <para>
        Find the SQL script <filename>fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql</filename> in
        the <replaceable>share</replaceable> directory of
        the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> installation (typically
        located someplace like <filename>/usr/share/postgresql/</filename>).
        Be sure to use the script appropriate to
        your <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> major version.
        If you do not see this file, either your version is not vulnerable
        (only v14&ndash;v16 are affected) or your minor version is too
        old to have the fix.
       </para>
      </step>

      <step>
       <para>
        In <emphasis>each</emphasis> database of the cluster, run
        the <filename>fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql</filename> script as superuser.
        In <application>psql</application> this would look like
<programlisting>
\i /usr/share/postgresql/fix-CVE-2024-4317.sql
</programlisting>
        (adjust the file path as appropriate).  Any error probably indicates
        that you've used the wrong script version.  It will not hurt to run
        the script more than once.
       </para>
      </step>

      <step>
       <para>
        Do not forget to include the <literal>template0</literal>
        and <literal>template1</literal> databases, or the vulnerability
        will still exist in databases you create later.  To
        fix <literal>template0</literal>, you'll need to temporarily make
        it accept connections.  Do that with
<programlisting>
ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS true;
</programlisting>
        and then after fixing <literal>template0</literal>, undo it with
<programlisting>
ALTER DATABASE template0 WITH ALLOW_CONNECTIONS false;

     <para>
      <literal>SELECT</literal> privilege would be required in all
      practical cases anyway, but require it even if the query reads no
      columns of the target table.  This avoids an edge case in
      which <command>MERGE</command> would require no privileges whatever,

     <para>
      If the session that creates a temporary table crashes without
      removing the table, autovacuum will eventually try to remove the
      orphaned table.  However, an incoming session that's been assigned
      the same temporary namespace will do that too.  If a temporary table
      has a dependency (such as an owned sequence) then a deadlock could
      result between these two cleanup attempts.

      The output columns of such a function call must be defined by
      an <literal>AS</literal> clause that specifies the column names and
      data types.  If the actual function output value doesn't match that,
      an error is supposed to be thrown at runtime.  However, some code
      paths would examine the actual value prematurely, and potentially
      issue strange errors or suffer assertion failures if it doesn't
      match expectations.

      This should have the same results for practical purposes.
      However, <literal>GMT</literal> is recognized by hard-wired code in

      One step of a concurrent refresh command was run under weak security
      restrictions.  If a materialized view's owner could persuade a
      superuser or other high-privileged user to perform a concurrent
      refresh on that view, the view's owner could control code executed
      with the privileges of the user running <command>REFRESH</command>.
      Fix things so that all user-determined code is run as the view's
      owner, as expected.

     <para>
      If the tuple being updated had just been updated and moved to
      another page by another session, there was a narrow window where
      we would attempt to fetch data from the new tuple version without
      any pin on its buffer.  In principle this could result in garbage
      data appearing in non-updated columns of the proposed new tuple.
      The odds of problems in practice seem rather low, however.

      Detect that a new catalog cache entry became stale while detoasting

     <para>
      We expand any out-of-line fields in a catalog tuple before inserting
      it into the catalog caches.  That involves database access which
      might cause invalidation of catalog cache entries &mdash; but the
      new entry isn't in the cache yet, so we would miss noticing that it
      should get invalidated.  The result is a race condition in which an
      already-stale cache entry could get made, and then persist
      indefinitely.  This would lead to hard-to-predict misbehavior.
      Fix by rechecking the tuple's visibility after detoasting.

      Prevent standby servers from incorrectly processing dead index

     <para>
      The <structfield>startedInRecovery</structfield> flag was not
      correctly set for a subtransaction.  This affects only processing of
      dead index tuples.  It could allow a query in a subtransaction to
      ignore index entries that it should return (if they are already dead
      on the primary server, but not dead to the standby transaction), or
      to prematurely mark index entries as dead that are not yet dead on
      the primary.  It is not clear that the latter case has any serious
      consequences, but it's not the intended behavior.

      If decoding begins partway through a transaction that modifies
      system catalogs, the decoder may not recognize that, causing it to
      fail to treat that transaction as in-progress for catalog lookups.
      This fix deals with the case that a top-level transaction is already
      marked as containing catalog changes, but its subtransaction(s) are
      not.

      In some cases we'd treat this as a loggable error, which was not the
      intention and tends to create log spam, since common clients
      like <application>psql</application> frequently do this.  It may
      also confuse extensions that

      Previously, commands would be included in the dump to set these

      indeed the dumping user might not have enough privilege to dump them
      (since dumping RLS policies requires acquiring lock on their table).

      Detect integer overflow while computing new array dimensions

     <para>
      When assigning new elements to array subscripts that are outside the
      current array bounds, an undetected integer overflow could occur in

      arbitrary code execution are possible, and so is disclosure of

      Prevent the <literal>pg_signal_backend</literal> role from

     <para>
      The documentation says that <literal>pg_signal_backend</literal>
      cannot issue signals to superuser-owned processes.  It was able to
      signal these background processes, though, because they advertise a
      role OID of zero.  Treat that as indicating superuser ownership.
      The security implications of cancelling one of these process types
      are fairly small so far as the core code goes (we'll just start
      another one), but extensions might add background workers that are
      more vulnerable.

     <para>
      Also ensure that the <varname>is_superuser</varname> parameter is

     <para>
      Infinities were mistakenly treated as having distance zero rather

      about which entries to merge.  Also, finite-but-very-large values
      (near the endpoints of the representable timestamp range) could
      result in internal overflows, again causing poor decisions.  The
      index still produces correct results, but is much less efficient

      indexes on <type>timestamp</type> and <type>timestamptz</type>

     <para>
      If the initially-named table is excluded by constraints, but not all
      its inheritance descendants are, the first non-excluded descendant
      was identified as the primary target table.  This would lead to
      firing statement-level triggers associated with that table, rather

      When restoring an indexscan to a previously marked position, the

      an <literal>indexcol = ANY(ARRAY[])</literal>) clause.  This could

      Avoid improper response to shutdown signals in child processes

     <para>
      This fix avoids a race condition in which a child process that has
      been forked off by <function>system()</function>, but hasn't yet
      exec'd the intended child program, might receive and act on a signal
      intended for the parent server process.  That would lead to
      duplicate cleanup actions being performed, which will not end well.

     <para>
      Presence of this abbreviation in the default list can cause failures
      on recent Debian and Ubuntu releases, as they no longer install the
      underlying tzdb entry by default.  Since this is a made-up
      abbreviation for a zone with a total human population of about two
      dozen, it seems unlikely that anyone will miss it.  If someone does,
      they can put it back via a custom abbreviations file.

     </para>

     <para>
      If <command>DROP DATABASE</command> was interrupted after it had

      remained accessible (because the removal of
      its <structname>pg_database</structname> row would roll back),
      but it would have corrupt contents.  Fix by marking the database
      as inaccessible before we begin to perform irreversible operations.
      A failure after that will leave the database still partially
      present, but nothing can be done with it except to issue
      another <command>DROP DATABASE</command>.

      The planner currently lacks support for attaching pseudoconstant

     <para>
      While an unlogged index's main data fork is not WAL-logged, its init
      fork should be, to ensure that we have a consistent state to restore
      the index to after a crash.  This step was missed if the init fork
      contains no data, which is a case not used by any standard index AM;
      but perhaps some extension behaves that way.

      This value could be stale in some cases.  There is no core code that
      relies on the relation cache's copy, so this is only a latent bug as
      far as Postgres itself is concerned; but there may be extensions for

      If a set-returning SQL-language function refers to a table having

     <para>
      Most cases in which a syntax error is detected in a string literal
      within a JSON value failed to set the error cursor appropriately.
      This led at least to an unhelpful error message (pointing to the
      token before the string, rather than the actual trouble spot), and
      could even result in a crash in v14 and later.

     <para>
      In v14 and later with non-default settings

      compute a very large vacuum cleanup horizon xid, leading to vacuum
      removing rows that are still live.  v12 and v13 have a lesser form
      of the same problem affecting only GiST indexes, which could lead to
      index pages getting recycled too early.

      Use of the syntax <literal>INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE SET (c1,

      Fix <application>pg_dump</application> so that partitioned tables
      that are hash-partitioned on an enum-type column can be restored
      successfully (Tom Lane)
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;2b216da1e">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      Since the hash codes for enum values depend on the OIDs assigned to
      the enum, they are typically different after a dump and restore,
      meaning that rows often need to go into a different partition than
      they were in originally.  Users can work around that by specifying
      the <option>--load-via-partition-root</option> option; but since
      there is very little chance of success without that,
      teach <application>pg_dump</application> to apply it automatically
      to such tables.
     </para>

     <para>
      Also, fix <application>pg_restore</application> to not try
      to <command>TRUNCATE</command> target tables before restoring into
      them when <option>--load-via-partition-root</option> mode is used.
      This avoids a hazard of deadlocks and lost data.

     <para>
      In cases of corruption we might see a wrapped-around 32-bit xid that
      appears to be before the first xid epoch.  Promoting such a value to
      64-bit form produced a value far in the future, resulting in wrong

      A regex such as <literal>$foo</literal> is legal but unsatisfiable;
      the regex compiler recognizes that and produces an empty NFA graph.
      Attempting to optimize such a graph into a pg_trgm GIN or GiST index

      <application>libpq</application> can leak memory contents after
      GSSAPI transport encryption initiation fails (Jacob Champion)
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;715c345dd">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      A modified server, or an unauthenticated man-in-the-middle, can
      send a not-zero-terminated error message during setup of GSSAPI
      (Kerberos) transport encryption.  <application>libpq</application>
      will then copy that string, as well as following bytes in
      application memory up to the next zero byte, to its error report.
      Depending on what the calling application does with the error
      report, this could result in disclosure of application memory
      contents.  There is also a small probability of a crash due to
      reading beyond the end of memory.  Fix by properly zero-terminating
      the server message.

     <para>
      The server would process a cancel request even if its length word
      was too small.  This led to reading beyond the end of the allocated
      buffer.  In theory that could cause a segfault, but it seems quite
      unlikely to happen in practice, since the buffer would have to be
      very close to the end of memory.  The more likely outcome was a bogus
      log message about wrong backend PID or cancel code.  Complain about
      the wrong length, instead.

      Planner runs occurring just after deletion of a large number of
      tuples appearing at the end of an index could expend significant
      amounts of work setting the <quote>killed</quote> bits for those
      index entries.  Limit the amount of work done in any one query by
      giving up on this process after examining 100 heap pages.  All the
      cleanup will still happen eventually, but without so large a
      performance hiccup.

      This was caused by an ill-advised choice to block interrupts while

      Fix failure to remove non-first segments of large tables
      (Tom Lane)
      <ulink url="&commit_baseurl;5fe0ab420">&sect;</ulink>
     </para>

     <para>
      <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> splits large tables into
      multiple files (normally with 1GB per file).  The logic for dropping
      a table was broken and would miss removing all but the first such
      file, in two cases: drops of temporary tables and WAL replay of
      drops of regular tables.  Applications that routinely create
      multi-gigabyte temporary tables could suffer significant disk space
      leakage.
     </para>

     <para>
      Orphaned temporary-table files are removed during postmaster start,
      so the mere act of updating to 15.1 is sufficient to clear any
      leaked temporary-table storage.  However, if you suffered any
      database crashes while using 15.0, and there might have been
      large tables dropped just before such crashes, it's advisable
      to check the database directories for files named according to the
      pattern
      <literal><replaceable>NNNN</replaceable>.<replaceable>NN</replaceable></literal>.
      If there is no matching file named
      just <literal><replaceable>NNNN</replaceable></literal> (without
      the <literal>.<replaceable>NN</replaceable></literal> suffix), these
      files should be removed manually.

      Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv.
      Also, the following zones have been merged into nearby,
      more-populous zones whose clocks have agreed with them since 1970:
      Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei,
      Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam,
      Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo,
      Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen,
      Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti,
      Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis.
      (This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of
      these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland,
      Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.)  America/Nipigon,
      America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and
      Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after
      discovering that their claimed post-1970 differences from those
      zones seem to have been errors.
      In all these cases, the previous zone name remains as an alias;
      but the actual data is that of the zone that was merged into.
     </para>

     <para>
      These zone mergers result in loss of pre-1970 timezone history for
      the merged zones, which may be troublesome for applications
      expecting consistency of <type>timestamptz</type> display.  As an
      example, the stored value <literal>1944-06-01 12:00 UTC</literal>
      would previously display as <literal>1944-06-01
      13:00:00+01</literal> if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected, but
      now it will read out as <literal>1944-06-01 14:00:00+02</literal>.
     </para>

     <para>
      It is possible to build the time zone data files with options that
      will restore the older zone data, but that choice also inserts a lot
      of other old (and typically poorly-attested) zone data, resulting in
      more total changes from the previous release than accepting these
      upstream changes does.  <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> has
      chosen to ship the <productname>tzdb</productname> data
      as-recommended, and so far as we are aware most major operating
      system distributions are doing likewise.  However, if these changes
      cause significant problems for your application, a possible solution
      is to install a local build of the time zone data files using
      <productname>tzdb</productname>'s backwards-compatibility options
      (see their <literal>PACKRATDATA</literal>
      and <literal>PACKRATLIST</literal> options).

       in later use of the view or rule.  The column-level dependency is
