+      Fix representation of numeric values in jsonb GIN indexes
+      (Tom Lane)
+     
+
+     
+      Numeric items within jsonb values are converted to strings
+      for storage in GIN jsonb_ops indexes.  In 9.4beta3,
+      trailing zeroes in such items were mishandled.  Beta testers
+      should REINDEX any such indexes after upgrading, to ensure
+      that searches for numeric values will find the expected rows.  Note
+      that jsonb_path_ops indexes were not affected by this bug.

+     
+      Constructs like row_to_json(tab.*) now always emit column
+      names that match the column aliases visible for table tab
+      at the point of the call.  In previous releases the emitted column
+      names would sometimes be the table's actual column names regardless
+      of any aliases assigned in the query.

       This change is more significant than most time zone updates because

       has formally recognized abbreviations of the form
       AxST/AxDT for Australian timezones,

+        Support time zone abbreviations that change from time to time
+        (Tom Lane)
+       
+
+       
+        Previously, PostgreSQL assumed that the UTC offset
+        associated with a time zone abbreviation (such as EST)
+        never changes in the usage of any particular locale.  However this
+        assumption fails in the real world, so introduce the ability for a
+        zone abbreviation to represent a UTC offset that sometimes changes.
+        Update the zone abbreviation definition files to make use of this
+        feature in timezone locales that have changed the UTC offset of their
+        abbreviations since 1970 (according to the IANA timezone database).
