formatting.c used locale-dependent case folding rules in some code paths where the result isn't supposed to be locale-dependent, for example to_char(timestamp, 'DAY'). Since the source data is always just ASCII in these cases, that usually didn't matter ... but it does matter in Turkish locales, which have unusual treatment of "i" and "I". To confuse matters even more, the misbehavior was only visible in UTF8 encoding, because in single-byte encodings we used pg_toupper/pg_tolower which don't have locale-specific behavior for ASCII characters. Fix by providing intentionally ASCII-only case-folding functions and using these where appropriate. Per bug #7913 from Adnan Dursun. Back-patch to all active branches, since it's been like this for a long time.

This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
