Repair ABI break for extensions that work with
struct <structname>ResultRelInfo</structname> (Tom Lane)
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;ee33d5847">&sect;</ulink>

<para>
Last week's minor releases unintentionally broke binary
compatibility with <application>timescaledb</application> and
several other extensions. Restore the affected structure to its
previous size, so that such extensions need not be rebuilt.

Fix cases where a logical replication
slot's <structfield>restart_lsn</structfield> could go backwards
(Masahiko Sawada)
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;f35391133">&sect;</ulink>
</para>
<para>
Previously, restarting logical replication could sometimes cause the
slot's restart point to be recomputed as an older value than had
previously been advertised
in <structname>pg_replication_slots</structname>. This is bad,
since for example WAL files might have been removed on the basis of
the later <structfield>restart_lsn</structfield> value, in which
case replication would fail to restart.

<para>
Avoid deleting still-needed WAL files
during <application>pg_rewind</application>
(Polina Bungina, Alexander Kukushkin)
<ulink url="&commit_baseurl;ea1649c35">&sect;</ulink>
</para>
<para>
Previously, in unlucky cases, it was possible
for <application>pg_rewind</application> to remove important WAL
files from the rewound demoted primary. In particular this happens
if those files have been marked for archival (i.e.,
their <filename>.ready</filename> files were created) but not yet
archived. Then the newly promoted node no longer has such files
because of them having been recycled, but likely they are needed
for recovery in the demoted node.
If <application>pg_rewind</application> removes them, recovery is
not possible anymore.
