+ 
+  Release 9.4.24
+
+  
+  Release date:
+  2019-08-08
+  
+
+  
+   This release contains a variety of fixes from 9.4.23.
+   For information about new features in the 9.4 major release, see
+   .
+  
+
+  
+   The PostgreSQL community will stop
+   releasing updates for the 9.4.X release series in February 2020.
+   Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon.
+  
+
+  
+   Migration to Version 9.4.24
+
+   
+    A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.4.X.
+   
+
+   
+    However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 9.4.18,
+    see .
+   
+  
+
+  
+   Changes
+
+   
+
+    
+
+     
+      Fix failure of ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN TYPE
+      when altering multiple columns' types in one command (Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      This fixes a regression introduced in the most recent minor releases:
+      indexes using the altered columns were not processed correctly,
+      leading to strange failures during ALTER TABLE.
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Fix mishandling of multi-column foreign keys when rebuilding a
+      foreign key constraint (Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      ALTER TABLE could make an incorrect decision about
+      whether revalidation of a foreign key is necessary, if not all
+      columns of the key are of the same type.  It seems likely that the
+      error would always have been in the conservative direction, that is
+      revalidating unnecessarily.
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Prevent incorrect canonicalization of date ranges
+      with infinity endpoints (Laurenz Albe)
+     
+
+     
+      It's incorrect to try to convert an open range to a closed one or
+      vice versa by incrementing or decrementing the endpoint value, if
+      the endpoint is infinite; so leave the range alone in such cases.
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Fix loss of fractional digits when converting very
+      large money values to numeric (Tom Lane)
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Fix spinlock assembly code for MIPS CPUs so that it works on
+      MIPS r6 (YunQiang Su)
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Make libpq ignore carriage return
+      (\r) in connection service files
+      (Tom Lane, Michael Paquier)
+     
+
+     
+      In some corner cases, service files containing Windows-style
+      newlines could be mis-parsed, resulting in connection failures.
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Fix pg_dump to ensure that custom operator
+      classes are dumped in the right order (Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      If a user-defined opclass is the subtype opclass of a user-defined
+      range type, related objects were dumped in the wrong order,
+      producing an unrestorable dump.  (The underlying failure to handle
+      opclass dependencies might manifest in other cases too, but this is
+      the only known case.)
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Fix contrib/passwordcheck to coexist with other
+      users of check_password_hook (Michael Paquier)
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Fix contrib/sepgsql tests to work under recent
+      SELinux releases (Mike Palmiotto)
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Reduce stderr output
+      from pg_upgrade's test script (Tom Lane)
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Support building Postgres with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019
+      (Haribabu Kommi)
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      In Visual Studio builds, honor WindowsSDKVersion
+      environment variable, if that's set (Peifeng Qiu)
+     
+
+     
+      This fixes build failures in some configurations.
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Support OpenSSL 1.1.0 and newer in Visual Studio builds
+      (Juan José Santamaría Flecha, Michael Paquier)
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Avoid choosing localtime
+      or posixrules as TimeZone
+      during initdb (Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      In some cases initdb would choose one of
+      these artificial zone names over the real zone name.
+      Prefer any other match to the C library's timezone behavior over
+      these two.
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Adjust pg_timezone_names view to show
+      the Factory time zone if and only if it has a
+      short abbreviation (Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      Historically, IANA set up this artificial zone with
+      an abbreviation like Local time zone must be
+      set--see zic manual page.  Modern versions of the tzdb
+      database show -00 instead, but some platforms
+      alter the data to show one or another of the historical phrases.
+      Show this zone only if it uses the modern abbreviation.
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA tzcode release 2019b
+      (Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      This adds support for zic's new -b
+      slim option to reduce the size of the installed zone files.
+      We are not currently using that, but may enable it in future.
+     
+    
+
+    
+
+     
+      Update time zone data files to tzdata
+      release 2019b for DST law changes in Brazil, plus
+      historical corrections for Hong Kong, Italy, and Palestine.
+
