Prevent corruption of multi-byte characters when attempting to case-fold identifiers (Andrew Dunstan)

PostgreSQL™ case-folds non-ASCII characters only when using a single-byte server encoding.

Fix memory leak caused by lo_open() failure (Heikki Linnakangas)

Fix deadlock bug in libpq when using SSL (Stephen Frost)

Fix possible SSL state corruption in threaded libpq applications (Nick Phillips, Stephen Frost)

Properly compute row estimates for boolean columns containing many NULL values (Andrew Gierth)

Previously tests like col IS NOT TRUE and col IS NOT FALSE did not properly factor in NULL values when estimating plan costs.

Prevent pushing down WHERE clauses into unsafe UNION/INTERSECT subqueries (Tom Lane)

Subqueries of a UNION or INTERSECT that contain set-returning functions or volatile functions in their SELECT lists could be improperly optimized, leading to run-time errors or incorrect query results.

Fix rare case of « failed to locate grouping columns » planner failure (Tom Lane)

Improve view dumping code's handling of dropped columns in referenced tables (Tom Lane)

Properly record index comments created using UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY syntax (Andres Freund)

Allow ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES to operate on schemas without requiring CREATE permission (Tom Lane)

Loosen restriction on keywords used in queries (Tom Lane)

Specifically, lessen keyword restrictions for role names, language names, EXPLAIN and COPY options, and SET values. This allows COPY ... (FORMAT BINARY) to work as expected; previously BINARY needed to be quoted.

Fix pgp_pub_decrypt() so it works for secret keys with passwords (Marko Kreen)

Ensure that floating-point data input accepts standard spellings of « infinity » on all platforms (Tom Lane)

The C99 standard says that allowable spellings are inf, +inf, -inf, infinity, +infinity, and -infinity. Make sure we recognize these even if the platform's strtod function doesn't.

Expand ability to compare rows to records and arrays (Rafal Rzepecki, Tom Lane)
