+ 
+  Release 9.0.21
+
+  
+  Release Date
+  2015-06-04
+  
+
+  
+   This release contains a small number of fixes from 9.0.20.
+   For information about new features in the 9.0 major release, see
+   .
+  
+
+  
+   The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates
+   for the 9.0.X release series in September 2015.
+   Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon.
+  
+
+  
+   Migration to Version 9.0.21
+
+   
+    A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.0.X.
+   
+
+   
+    However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 9.0.18,
+    see .

+     
+      Avoid failures while fsync'ing data directory during
+      crash restart (Abhijit Menon-Sen, Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      In the previous minor releases we added a patch to fsync
+      everything in the data directory after a crash.  Unfortunately its
+      response to any error condition was to fail, thereby preventing the
+      server from starting up, even when the problem was quite harmless.
+      An example is that an unwritable file in the data directory would
+      prevent restart on some platforms; but it is common to make SSL
+      certificate files unwritable by the server.  Revise this behavior so
+      that permissions failures are ignored altogether, and other types of
+      failures are logged but do not prevent continuing.
+     
+    
+
+    
+     
+      Remove configure's check prohibiting linking to a
+      threaded libpython
+      on OpenBSD (Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      The failure this restriction was meant to prevent seems to not be a
+      problem anymore on current OpenBSD
+      versions.
+     
+    
+
+    
+     
+      Allow libpq to use TLS protocol versions beyond v1
+      (Noah Misch)
+     
+
+     
+      For a long time, libpq was coded so that the only SSL
+      protocol it would allow was TLS v1.  Now that newer TLS versions are
+      becoming popular, allow it to negotiate the highest commonly-supported
+      TLS version with the server.  (PostgreSQL servers were
+      already capable of such negotiation, so no change is needed on the
+      server side.)  This is a back-patch of a change already released in
+      9.4.0.
