-->
<listitem>
<para>
Track dependencies on individual columns in the results of
functions returning composite types (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
Previously, if a view or rule contained a reference to a specific
column within the result of a composite-returning function, that
was not noted as a dependency; the view or rule was only considered
to depend on the composite type as a whole. This meant that
dropping the individual column would be allowed, causing problems
in later use of the view or rule. The column-level dependency is
now also noted, so that dropping such a column will be rejected
unless the view is changed or dropped.
