<para>
Ensure that updates to the <structfield>relfrozenxid</structfield>
and <structfield>relminmxid</structfield> values
for <quote>nailed</quote> system catalogs are processed in a timely
fashion (Andres Freund)
</para>
<para>
Overoptimistic caching rules could prevent these updates from being
seen by other sessions, leading to spurious errors and/or data
corruption. The problem was significantly worse for shared catalogs,
such as <structname>pg_authid</structname>, because the stale cache
data could persist into new sessions as well as existing ones.

Fix case where a freshly-promoted standby crashes before having
completed its first post-recovery checkpoint (Michael Paquier, Kyotaro
Horiguchi, Pavan Deolasee, &Aacute;lvaro Herrera)

This led to a situation where the server did not think it had reached
a consistent database state during subsequent WAL replay, preventing
restart.

Fix <application>libpq</application>'s handling of some cases
where <literal>hostaddr</literal> is specified
(Hari Babu, Tom Lane, Robert Haas)
</para>
<para>
<function>PQhost()</function> gave misleading or incorrect results
in some cases. Now, it uniformly returns the host name if specified,
or the host address if only that is specified, or the default host
name (typically <literal>/tmp</literal>
or <literal>localhost</literal>) if both parameters are omitted.
</para>
<para>
Also, the wrong value might be compared to the server name when
verifying an SSL certificate.
</para>
<para>
Also, the wrong value might be compared to the host name field in
<filename>~/.pgpass</filename>. Now, that field is compared to the
host name if specified, or the host address if only that is specified,
or <literal>localhost</literal> if both parameters are omitted.
</para>
<para>
Also, an incorrect error message was reported for an unparseable
<literal>hostaddr</literal> value.
</para>
<para>
Also, when the <literal>host</literal>, <literal>hostaddr</literal>,
or <literal>port</literal> parameters contain comma-separated
lists, <application>libpq</application> is now more careful to treat
empty elements of a list as selecting the default behavior.

Add a string freeing function
to <application>ecpg</application>'s <filename>pgtypes</filename>
library, so that cross-module memory management problems can be
avoided on Windows (Takayuki Tsunakawa)
</para>
<para>
On Windows, crashes can ensue if the <function>free</function> call
for a given chunk of memory is not made from the same DLL
that <function>malloc</function>'ed the memory.
The <filename>pgtypes</filename> library sometimes returns strings
that it expects the caller to free, making it impossible to follow
this rule. Add a <function>PGTYPESchar_free()</function> function
that just wraps <function>free</function>, allowing applications
to follow this rule.

that might exist in the system library directories (Tom Lane)

<para>
Update time zone data files to <application>tzdata</application>
release 2018e for DST law changes in North Korea, plus historical
corrections for Czechoslovakia.
</para>
<para>
This update includes a redefinition of <quote>daylight savings</quote>
in Ireland, as well as for some past years in Namibia and
Czechoslovakia. In those jurisdictions, legally standard time is
observed in summer, and daylight savings time in winter, so that the
daylight savings offset is one hour behind standard time not one hour
ahead. This does not affect either the actual UTC offset or the
timezone abbreviations in use; the only known effect is that
the <structfield>is_dst</structfield> column in
the <structname>pg_timezone_names</structname> view will now be true
in winter and false in summer in these cases.
