Enhanced performance of segment search by implementing a new search strategy, allowing faster detection of the last segment.

Lowered the number of unneeded replanning attempts by adding the backend memory consumption trigger, whose value is defined by the replan_memory_limit configuration parameter, and changing the replanning behavior triggered by the number of processed node tuples.

Implemented the interaction of the PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME profile parameter with the VALID UNTIL role attribute. Now if both of them are set, the warning about password expiration will be displayed.

Prevented potential authentication delays due to locking by not updating role's last login time if the role's profile USER_INACTIVE_TIME is set to unlimited (see Section 56.40 for details).

Optimized the logic of pruning, which is now delayed until a page is nearly full, rather than relying solely on the fill factor. This reduces the frequency of pruning during UPDATE operations, leading to better performance in tables with frequent updates.

Fixed an issue with statistics handling in autonomous transactions. Previously, statistics changes were only saved if both the autonomous transaction and the parent transaction were committed successfully. This oversight was usually pretty harmless since no reported failures have been traced.

Fixed an issue with nested loop parameters that forced Memoize to constantly purge the cache. This bugfix speeds up query execution.

Fixed issues related to processing of data structures in CFS by pg_rewind. Previously, pg_rewind did not fully support CFS, which could result in data corruption.

Fixed a segmentation fault that could occur when a connection to the built-in connection pooler was reset before a new session was created in the backend.

Fixed an issue with freezing 64-bit multitransaction IDs, which could manifest itself in PANIC-level errors like “xid XXX does not fit into valid range for base YYY” during autovacuum.

Fixed an issue related to suboptimal handling of pd_prune_xid. This issue did not result in any significant operation problems but caused unnecessary page pruning, which might have produced extra WAL records.

Fixed an issue, which could manifest itself in errors like “invalid FSM request size”. The code was adjusted to reflect the changes in heap page structure, removing reliance on a constant related to maximum free heap page space where it is no longer applicable.

Fixed a bug that caused the optimizer to ignore columns from query conditions. Previously, when partially using a composite index, the number of rows could be overestimated, which led to an incorrect plan creation. The bug occurred due to a malfunction of the multi-column statistics elements.

Fixed a bug in ANALYZE that could occur because it was impossible to display the pg_statistic system catalog. For the fix to work, if your database has indexes with INCLUDE columns, after upgrading Postgres Pro, it is recommended to do another ANALYZE for these columns.

Added support for ALT 11.

Upgraded the PostgreSQL ODBC driver to version 16.00.0005.

Improved the built-in high-availability feature to provide the following optimizations and bug fixes:

Upgraded citus to version 12.1.5.1, which now supports the ability to use the extension together with the enabled enable_group_by_reordering configuration parameter.

Upgraded dbms_lob to version 1.2, which now supports reading and writing blocks up to 1GB, an increase from the previous 32KB limit.

Added the hypopg extension, which provides support for hypothetical indexes in Postgres Pro.

Upgraded the mchar extension to fix a bug that caused the mchar and mvarchar data types to ignore control characters during string comparison.

Implemented the ability to slow down transaction execution on the donor node in multimaster using the multimaster.tx_delay_on_slow_catchup configuration parameter. This is useful when a lagging node is catching up to the donor node and cannot apply changes as quickly.

Added support for COPY to the online_analyze module.

Upgraded pg_filedump to version 17.0, which provides optimizations and bug fixes. In particular, contents of meta pages for GIN and SP-GiST indexes are now displayed correctly, and an issue of lacking memory for encoding and decompression is resolved.

Upgraded pg_proaudit to provide the following optimizations and bug fixes:

Upgraded pg_probackup to version 2.8.3 Enterprise, which provides the following bug fixes:

Upgraded the pgpro_rp extension to version 1.1, which now supports plan assignment groups. The database administrator can now create plan assignment groups for different roles to control resource prioritization across large amounts of database users.

Upgraded pgpro_sfile to version 1.2, which adds the sf_md5 function that calculates MD5 hash for an sfile object.

Upgraded pgvector to version 0.7.4.

Fixed incorrect behavior of pg_wait_sampling when used with the extended query protocol.

Upgraded sr_plan to provide new features and optimizations. Notable changes are as follows:

Upgraded utl_http to provide support for PUT, UPLOAD, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS, DELETE, TRACE, as well as any custom HTTP methods.
