E.5.2. Changes
Restore functionality of
ALTER {ROLE|DATABASE} SET role(Tom Lane, Noah Misch) §The fix for CVE-2024-10978 accidentally caused settings for
roleto not be applied if they come from non-interactive sources, including previousALTER {ROLE|DATABASE}commands and thePGOPTIONSenvironment variable.Fix cases where a logical replication slot's
restart_lsncould go backwards (Masahiko Sawada) §Previously, restarting logical replication could sometimes cause the slot's restart point to be recomputed as an older value than had previously been advertised in
pg_replication_slots. This is bad, since for example WAL files might have been removed on the basis of the laterrestart_lsnvalue, in which case replication would fail to restart.Count index scans in
contrib/bloomindexes in the statistics views, such as thepg_stat_user_indexes.idx_scancounter (Masahiro Ikeda) §Fix crash when checking to see if an index's opclass options have changed (Alexander Korotkov) §
Some forms of
ALTER TABLEwould fail if the table has an index with non-default operator class options.
