The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of our database system, including 9.6.5, 9.5.9, 9.4.14, 9.3.19, and 9.2.23.
This release includes fixes that prevent a crash in pg_restore when using parallel mode. It also patches over a few other bugs reported since the last releases in August. Additionally, in 9.4.14 only, there is a fix to an issue with walsenders preventing primary-server shutdown unless immediate shutdown mode is used. Users should plan to update at the next convenient downtime. Bug Fixes and Improvements -------------------------- This update also fixes a number of bugs reported in the last few weeks. Some of these issues affect only version 9.6, but many affect all supported versions: * Show foreign tables in information_schema.table_privileges view. This fix applies to new databases, see the release notes for the procedure to apply the fix to an existing database. * Correctly identify columns that are of a range type or domain type over a composite type or domain type being searched for * Prevent crash when passing fixed-length pass-by-reference data types to parallel worker processes * Change ecpg’s parser to allow RETURNING clauses without attached C variables * Change ecpg’s parser to recognize backslash continuation of C preprocessor command lines * Improve selection of compiler flags for PL/Perl on Windows EOL Warning for Version 9.2 --------------------------- PostgreSQL version 9.2 will be End-of-Life in September, 2017. The project expects to only release one more update for that version. We urge users to start planning an upgrade to a later version of PostgreSQL as soon as possible. See our Versioning Policy for more information. Updating -------- All PostgreSQL update releases are cumulative. As with other minor releases, users are not required to dump and reload their database or use pg_upgrade in order to apply this update release; you may simply shut down PostgreSQL and update its binaries.
