<para>
Fix edge cases in partition pruning (Etsuro Fujita, Dmitry Dolgov)
</para>
<para>
When there are multiple partition key columns, generation of pruning
tests could misbehave if some columns had no
constraining <literal>WHERE</literal> clauses or multiple
constraining clauses. This could lead to server crashes, incorrect
query results, or assertion failures.

<para>
In logical replication walsender, fix failure to send feedback
messages after sending a keepalive message (&Aacute;lvaro Herrera)
</para>
<para>
This is a relatively minor problem when using built-in logical
replication, because the built-in walreceiver will send a feedback
reply (which clears the incorrect state) fairly frequently anyway.
But with some other replication systems, such
as <application>pglogical</application>, it causes significant
performance issues.

Fix firing of column-specific <literal>UPDATE</literal> triggers in
logical replication subscribers (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
The code neglected to account for the possibility of column numbers
being different between the publisher and subscriber tables, so that
if those were indeed different, wrong decisions might be made about
which triggers to fire.

Reject time-of-day values greater than 24 hours (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
The intention of the datetime input code is to
allow <quote>24:00:00</quote> or
equivalently <quote>23:59:60</quote>, but no larger value.
However, the range check was miscoded so that it would
accept <quote>23:59:60.<replaceable>nnn</replaceable></quote> with
nonzero fractional-second <replaceable>nnn</replaceable>. In
timestamp values this would result in wrapping into the first second
of the next day. In <type>time</type> and <type>timetz</type>
values, the stored value would actually be more than 24 hours,
causing dump/reload failures and possibly other misbehavior.

Work around incorrect not-null markings for
<structname>pg_subscription</structname>.<structfield>subslotname</structfield>
and <structname>pg_subscription_rel</structname>.<structfield>srsublsn</structfield>
(Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
The bootstrap catalog data incorrectly marks these two catalog
columns as always non-null. There's no easy way to correct that
mistake in existing installations (though v13 and later will have
the correct markings). The main place that depends on that marking
being correct is JIT-enabled tuple deconstruction, so teach it to
explicitly ignore the marking for these two columns. Also adjust
some C code that accessed <structfield>srsublsn</structfield> without
checking to see if it's null; a crash from that is improbable but
perhaps not impossible.

Fix conflict-checking anomalies in <literal>SERIALIZABLE</literal>
isolation mode (Peter Geoghegan)
</para>
<para>
If a concurrently-inserted tuple was updated by a different
concurrent transaction, and neither tuple version was visible to the
current transaction's snapshot, serialization conflict checking
could draw the wrong conclusions about whether the tuple was relevant
to the results of the current transaction. This could allow a
serializable transaction to commit when it should have failed with a
serialization error.

Fix parallel restore of tables having both table-level privileges

The table-level privilege grants have to be applied first, but a

lead to <quote>tuple concurrently updated</quote> errors, or to

Fix <filename>contrib/pgcrypto</filename>'s misuse

<para>
The <function>pgp_sym_encrypt</function> functions could produce
incorrect compressed data due to mishandling
of <application>zlib</application>'s API requirements. We have no
reports of this error manifesting with
stock <application>zlib</application>, but it can be seen when using
IBM's <application>zlibNX</application> implementation.
