E.30.2. 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.
