Bug Fixes and Improvements
This update fixes over 55 bugs that were reported in the last several months. \
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 16. Some of these issues may also \
affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.
Fix issue where GiST indexes had an incorrect behavior during a "page \
split" operation that could lead to incorrect results in subsequent index \
searches. Please reindex GiST indexes after installing this update.
Fix issue where B-tree indexes would incorrectly de-duplicate interval columns. \
Please reindex any B-tree index that includes an interval column after \
installing this update.
Provide more efficient indexing of date, timestamptz, and timestamp values in \
BRIN indexes when using a minmax_multi opsclass. While not required, we \
recommend reindexing BRIN indexes that include these data types after installing \
this update.
Fix for bulk table insertion into partitioned tables.
Fix for hash-partitioned tables with multiple partition keys during step \
generation and runtime pruning that could lead to crashes in some cases.
Throw the correct error if pgrowlocks() is applied to a partitioned table
Fix inconsistent rechecking of concurrently-updated rows during MERGE when using \
READ COMMITTED mode.
Correctly identify the target table in an inherited UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE even \
when the parent table is excluded by constraints.
Fix over-allocation of a constructed tsvector.
Fix ALTER SUBSCRIPTION to apply changes in the run_as_owner option.
Several fixes for COPY FROM,
Several fixes for handling torn reads with pg_control.
Fix "could not find pathkey item to sort" errors occurring while \
planning aggregate functions with ORDER BY or DISTINCT options.
When track_io_timing is enabled, include the time taken by relation extension \
operations as write time.
Track the dependencies of cached CALL statements, and re-plan them when needed.
Treat out-of-memory failures as FATAL while reading WAL.
Fix pg_dump to dump the new run_as_owner option of subscriptions.
Fix pg_restore so that selective restores will include both table-level and \
column-level ACLs for selected tables.
Add logic to pg_upgrade to check for use of obsolete data types abstime, \
reltime, and tinterval.
Fix vacuumdb to have multiple -N switches actually exclude tables in multiple \
schemas.
amcheck will no longer report interrupted page deletion as corruption.
Fix btree_gin indexes on interval columns to properly return data when using the \
< and <= operators.
