Activity Earlier In The Year

Doc: Make logical replication examples executable in bulk
Amit Kapila: To improve the usability of logical replication examples, we need to enable bulk copy-pasting of DML/DDL series. Currently, output command tags and prompts disrupt this workflow.

pg_dump: Adjust reltuples from 0 to -1 for dumps of older versions
Nathan Bossart: Before v14, a reltuples value of 0 was ambiguous: it could either mean the relation is empty, or it could mean that it hadn't yet been vacuumed or analyzed.

Doc: add pre-branch task to run src/tools/copyright.pl
Tom Lane: It's common for some files with last year's copyright date to sneak into the tree between early January (when we normally run copyright.pl) and feature freeze.

Make our usage of memset_s() conform strictly to the C11 standard
Tom Lane: Per the letter of the C11 standard, one must #define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ as 1 before including <string.h> in order to have access to memset_s().

Add explicit initialization for all PlannerGlobal fields
Richard Guo: When creating a new PlannerGlobal node in standard_planner(), most fields are explicitly initialized, but a few are not.

Add tab-complete for ALTER DOMAIN ADD [CONSTRAINT]
Álvaro Herrera: We can add tab-completion with "CHECK (" and "NOT NULL" after ALTER DOMAIN ADD [CONSTRAINT].

Add support for runtime arguments in injection points
Michael Paquier: The macros INJECTION_POINT() and INJECTION_POINT_CACHED() are extended with an optional argument that can be passed down to the callback attached when an injection point is run, giving to callbacks the possibility to manipulate a stack state given by the caller.

Suppress unnecessary explicit sorting for EPQ mergejoin path
Richard Guo: When building a ForeignPath for a joinrel, if there's a possibility that EvalPlanQual will be executed, we must identify a suitable path for EPQ checks.

doc: Add link to table
Peter Eisentraut: Formal tables should generally have an xref in the text that points to them.

doc PG 18 relnotes: add GROUP BY column elimination item
Bruce Momjian: With a nod to PG 9.

PostgreSQL Release Tags

Support SSL_R_VERSION_TOO_LOW when using LibreSSL
Daniel Gustafsson: The SSL_R_VERSION_TOO_LOW error reason is supported in LibreSSL since LibreSSL 3.6.3, shipped in OpenBSD 7.2.

Log OpenSSL version in ./configure output
Michael Paquier: This information is useful to know when scanning buildfarm results, and it is already displayed in Meson.

meson: Improve PG_VERSION_STR generation
Andres Freund: Previously the host operating system and 32/64 bit were not included and the build machine's cpu was used, which is potentially wrong for cross builds.

Fix ALTER COLLATION "default" REFRESH VERSION.
Jeff Davis: Issue a helpful error message rather than an internal error. Discussion:

Require version 0.98 of Test::More for TAP tests
Andrew Dunstan: This means that the subtest feature will be available for use. We expect that this change will make prairiedog go red until it is updated, but other buildfarm animals should be fine. Discussion:

doc: Fix link reference for PGSSLMAXPROTOCOLVERSION
Michael Paquier: The link was pointing to the minimum protocol version.

nbtree: BTREE_[MIN|NOVAC]_VERSION comment tweaks
Peter Geoghegan: Author: Peter Geoghegan

Automate the maintenance of SO_MINOR_VERSION for our shared libraries
Tom Lane: Up to now we've manually adjusted these numbers in several different Makefiles at the start of each development cycle.

Advance PG_CONTROL_VERSION.
Tom Lane: This should have been done in commit 73c986adde5d73a5 which added several new fields to pg_control, and again in commit 5028f22f6eb05798 which changed the CRC algorithm, but it wasn't.

Tab complete CREATE EXTENSION .. VERSION.
Robert Haas: Jeff Janes

Most Popular This Year

extension_control_path
Peter Eisentraut: The new GUC specifies a path to look for extension control files.

pg_rewind: Add dbname to primary_conninfo when using --write-recovery-conf
Masahiko Sawada: This commit enhances pg_rewind's --write-recovery-conf option to include the dbname in the generated primary_conninfo value when specified in the --source-server option.

Add pg_dump --with-{schema|data|statistics} options
Jeff Davis: By adding the positive variants of options, in addition to the negative variants that already exist, users can be explicit about what pg_dump should produce.

Small fixes for Add ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT ... SET [NO] INHERIT
Peter Eisentraut: Small fixes for commit f4e53e10b6c: Add missing calls to InvokeObjectPostAlterHook() and also CacheInvalidateRelcache().

Fix broken handling of domains in atthasmissing logic
Tom Lane: If a domain type has a default, adding a column of that type (without any explicit DEFAULT clause) failed to install the domain's default value in existing rows, instead leaving the new column null.

localbuf: Add Valgrind buffer access instrumentation
Andres Freund: This mirrors 1e0dfd166b3 (+ 46ef520b9566), for temporary table buffers.

Generalize index support in network support function
Peter Eisentraut: The network (inet) support functions currently only supported a hardcoded btree operator family.

libpq: Add support for dumping SSL key material to file
Daniel Gustafsson: This adds a new connection parameter which instructs libpq to write out keymaterial clientside into a file in order to make connection debugging with Wireshark and similar tools possible.

doc PG 18 relnotes: add GROUP BY column elimination item
Bruce Momjian: With a nod to PG 9.

bufmgr: Implement AIO read support
Andres Freund: This commit implements the infrastructure to perform asynchronous reads into the buffer pool. To do so, it: - Adds readv AIO callbacks for shared and local buffers It may be worth calling out that shared buffer completions may be run in a different backend than where the IO started. - Adds an AIO wait reference to BufferDesc, to allow backends to wait for in-progress asynchronous IOs - Adapts StartBufferIO(), WaitIO(), TerminateBufferIO(), and their localbuf.c equivalents, to be able to deal with AIO - Moves the code to handle BM_PIN_COUNT_WAITER into a helper function, as it now also needs to be called on IO completion As of this commit, nothing issues AIO on shared/local buffers.
