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 previous- ALTER {ROLE|DATABASE}commands and the- PGOPTIONSenvironment 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 later- restart_lsnvalue, in which case replication would fail to restart.
- Count index scans in - contrib/bloomindexes in the statistics views, such as the- pg_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.
