    in SSL connections, particularly when using the Python, Ruby or PHP
    OpenSSL wrappers
  • Fixed the "failed to build N-way joins" planner error
  • Fixed incorrect handling of equivalence in multilevel nestloop query
    plans, which could emit rows which didn’t match the WHERE clause.
  • Prevented two memory leaks with using GIN indexes, including a potential
    index corruption risk. The release also includes many other bug fixes
    for reported issues, many of which affect all supported versions:
  • Fix corner-case parser failures occurring when
    operator_precedence_warning is turned on
  • Prevent possible misbehavior of TH, th, and Y,YYY format codes in
    to_timestamp()
  • Correct dumping of VIEWs and RULEs which use ANY (array) in a subselect
  • Disallow newlines in ALTER SYSTEM parameter values
  • Avoid possible misbehavior after failing to remove a tablespace symlink
  • Fix crash in logical decoding on alignment-picky platforms
  • Avoid repeated requests for feedback from receiver while shutting down
    walsender
  • Multiple fixes for pg_upgrade
  • Support building with Visual Studio 2015
  • This update also contains tzdata release 2016d, with updates for Russia,
    Venezuela, Kirov, and Tomsk.
