Hi, I noticed that PG17's release note for commit cafe10565 is "Allow psql connections to be canceled with control-C (Tristan Partin)", but this summary seems wrong to me.
We already had ^C connection (query) cancellation for quite some time before this patch. What's new with that patch, is that we now also can cancel connection attempts with ^C while we're still connecting (i.e., we haven't yet authenticated and are trying to move the connection state forward). I think a better wording would be "Allow psql connection attempts to be canceled with control-C (Tristan Partin)", or "Allow psql connections to be canceled with control-C while psql is still connecting (Tristan Partin)".
