+<h2>Applied Patches</h2>
+<p>
+Tom Lane pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Work around rounding misbehavior exposed by buildfarm.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4ba61a487e39eaf859cd9face9520b30127e6a91">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=4ba61a487e39eaf859cd9face9520b30127e6a91</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix inline_set_returning_function() to preserve the invalItems list
+ properly. This avoids a possible crash when inlining a SRF whose
+ argument list contains a reference to an inline-able user function.
+ The crash is quite reproducible with CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY enabled,
+ but would be less certain in a production build. Problem introduced
+ in 9.0 by the named-arguments patch, which requires invoking
+ eval_const_expressions() before we can try to inline a SRF. Per
+ report from Brendan Jurd.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ef55e294e66725c412d55b9689328235141d816d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ef55e294e66725c412d55b9689328235141d816d</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix overly-enthusiastic Assert in printing of Param reference
+ expressions. A NestLoopParam's value can only be a Var or Aggref,
+ but this isn't the case in general for SubPlan parameters, so
+ print_parameter_expr had better be prepared to cope. Brain fade in
+ my recent patch to print the referenced expression instead of just
+ printing $N for PARAM_EXEC Params. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c6873eac4c33720140240cdbd1a663fecc922c57">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=c6873eac4c33720140240cdbd1a663fecc922c57</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix up some oversights in psql's Unicode-escape support. Original
+ patch failed to include new exclusive states in a switch that needed
+ to include them; and also was guilty of very fuzzy thinking about
+ how to handle error cases. Per bug #5729 from Alan Choi.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=35d89401525677441824c6f2116b9f7d0cc3caac">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=35d89401525677441824c6f2116b9f7d0cc3caac</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Previous patch had no detectable virtue other than being a
+ one-liner. Try to make the code look self-consistent again, so it
+ doesn't confuse future developers.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=e6721c6e1617a0fc8b4bce8eacba8b5a381f1f21">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=e6721c6e1617a0fc8b4bce8eacba8b5a381f1f21</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix plpgsql's handling of "simple" expression evaluation. In
+ general, expression execution state trees aren't re-entrantly
+ usable, since functions can store private state information in them.
+ For efficiency reasons, plpgsql tries to cache and reuse state trees
+ for "simple" expressions. It can get away with that most of the
+ time, but it can fail if the state tree is dirty from a previous
+ failed execution (as in an example from Alvaro) or is being used
+ recursively (as noted by me). Fix by tracking whether a state tree
+ is in use, and falling back to the "non-simple" code path if so.
+ This results in a pretty considerable speed hit when the non-simple
+ path is taken, but the available alternatives seem even more
+ unpleasant because they add overhead in the simple path. Per idea
+ from Heikki Linnakangas. Back-patch to all supported branches.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ce22dd4c51b6e8155889653c0116cad13877512">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ce22dd4c51b6e8155889653c0116cad13877512</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Save a few cycles in plpgsql simple-expression initialization.
+ Instead of using ExecPrepareExpr, call ExecInitExpr. The net change
+ here is that we don't apply expression_planner() to the expression
+ tree. There is no need to do so, because that tree is extracted
+ from a fully planned plancache entry, so all the needed work is
+ already done. This reduces the setup costs by about a factor of 2
+ according to some simple tests. Oversight noted while fooling
+ around with the simple-expression code for previous fix.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=37e0a016547abb3526b685d7aacbd0a4d57f6937">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=37e0a016547abb3526b685d7aacbd0a4d57f6937</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In psql, make \? output of \dg and \du the same. The previous
+ wording might have suggested that \du only showed login roles and
+ \dg only group roles, but that is no longer the case. Proposed by
+ Josh Kupershmidt.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=299591d1a293e737d72d57aa8545c6c00d19db1d">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=299591d1a293e737d72d57aa8545c6c00d19db1d</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- In psql, add tab completion for psql \dg and \z. Josh Kupershmidt.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a3d40e9fb51f8aab9cde5d5018be5e46332275fd">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=a3d40e9fb51f8aab9cde5d5018be5e46332275fd</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Avoid creation of useless EquivalenceClasses during planning.
+ Zoltan Boszormenyi exhibited a test case in which planning time was
+ dominated by construction of EquivalenceClasses and PathKeys that
+ had no actual relevance to the query (and in fact got discarded
+ immediately). This happened because we generated PathKeys
+ describing the sort ordering of every index on every table in the
+ query, and only after that checked to see if the sort ordering was
+ relevant. The Emmanuel Cecchet/PK construction code is O(N^2) in
+ the number of ECs, which is all right for the intended number of
+ such objects, but it gets out of hand if there are ECs for lots of
+ irrelevant indexes. To fix, twiddle the handling of mergeclauses a
+ little bit to ensure that every interesting Emmanuel Cecchet is
+ created before we begin path generation. (This doesn't cost
+ anything --- in fact I think it's a bit cheaper than before ---
+ since we always eventually created those ECs anyway.) Then, if an
+ index column can't be found in any pre-existing Emmanuel Cecchet, we
+ know that that sort ordering is irrelevant for the query. Instead
+ of creating a useless Emmanuel Cecchet, we can just not build a
+ pathkey for the index column in the first place. The index will
+ still be considered if it's useful for non-order-related reasons,
+ but we will think of its output as unsorted.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=14231a41a94b2345cc679ff67dbee1bf7dac7029">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=14231a41a94b2345cc679ff67dbee1bf7dac7029</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Oops, missed one fix for EquivalenceClass rearrangement. Now that
+ we're expecting a mergeclause's left_ec/right_ec to persist from the
+ initial assignments, we can't just blithely zero these out when
+ transforming such a clause in adjust_appendrel_attrs. But really it
+ should be okay to keep the parent's values, since a child table's
+ derived Var ought to be equivalent to the parent Var for all
+ EquivalenceClass purposes. (Indeed, I'm wondering whether we
+ couldn't find a way to dispense with add_child_rel_equivalences
+ altogether. But this is wrong in any case.)
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=48a1fb23900d73e7d9cb2dc0408c745cd03597a7">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=48a1fb23900d73e7d9cb2dc0408c745cd03597a7</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Fix comparisons of pointers with zero to compare with NULL instead.
+ Per C standard, these are semantically the same thing; but saying
+ NULL when you mean NULL is good for readability. Marti Raudsepp,
+ per results of INRIA's Coccinelle.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bfd3f37be309c3647844aed937e6a66aad5fd3cb">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bfd3f37be309c3647844aed937e6a66aad5fd3cb</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Provide hashing support for arrays. The core of this patch is
+ hash_array() and associated typcache infrastructure, which works
+ just about exactly like the existing support for array comparison.
+ In addition I did some work to ensure that the planner won't think
+ that an array type is hashable unless its element type is hashable,
+ and similarly for sorting. This includes adding a datatype
+ parameter to op_hashjoinable and op_mergejoinable, and adding an
+ explicit "hashable" flag to SortGroupClause. The lack of a
+ cross-check on the element type was a pre-existing bug in mergejoin
+ support --- but it didn't matter so much before, because if you
+ couldn't sort the element type there wasn't any good alternative to
+ failing anyhow. Now that we have the alternative of hashing the
+ array type, there are cases where we can avoid a failure by being
+ picky at the planner stage, so it's time to be picky. The issue of
+ exactly how to combine the per-element hash values to produce an
+ array hash is still open for discussion, but the rest of this is
+ pretty solid, so I'll commit it as-is.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=186cbbda8f8dc5e42f68fc7892f206a76d56a20f">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=186cbbda8f8dc5e42f68fc7892f206a76d56a20f</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- Revert removal of trigger flag from plperl function hash key. As
+ noted by Jan Urbanski, this flag is in fact needed to ensure that
+ the function's input/result conversion functions are set up as
+ expected. Add a regression test to discourage anyone from making
+ same mistake in future.

+Alvaro Herrera pushed:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+- find -path is not portable, so use grep -v instead. Per previous
+ failure of buildfarm member koi (which is no longer failing, alas).
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=9350824e708678f6af9657979ba656cf1951b408">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=9350824e708678f6af9657979ba656cf1951b408</a>

+- Refactor typenameTypeId() Split the old typenameTypeId() into two

+ typenameTypeIdAndMod() that returns type OID and typmod. This
+ isolates call sites better that actually care about the typmod.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=35670340f57d78d6ab023b1fb42fd81339f85d4c">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=35670340f57d78d6ab023b1fb42fd81339f85d4c</a>

+- Before removing backup_label and irrevocably changing pg_control

+ Report, analysis and patch by Jeff Davis, with small changes by me.
+ <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=0c6293dd0361a0d3c72c94ced389c509019713a7">http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=0c6293dd0361a0d3c72c94ced389c509019713a7</a>

+- Note explicitly that hash indexes are also not replicated because

+- Minor fixups for psql's process_file() function. Avoid closing
