<para>
Fix possibly-incorrect computation of <command>UPDATE
... RETURNING</command> outputs for joined cross-partition updates
(Amit Langote, Etsuro Fujita)
</para>
<para>
If an <command>UPDATE</command> for a partitioned table caused a row
to be moved to another partition with a physically different row
type (for example, one with a different set of dropped columns),
computation of <literal>RETURNING</literal> results for that row
could produce errors or wrong answers. No error is observed unless
the <command>UPDATE</command> involves other tables being joined to
the target table.

<para>
Fix adjustment of constraint deferrability properties in
partitioned tables (&Aacute;lvaro Herrera)
</para>
<para>
When applied to a foreign-key constraint of a partitioned table,
<command>ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT</command> failed to
adjust the <literal>DEFERRABLE</literal> and/or
<literal>INITIALLY DEFERRED</literal> markings of the constraints
and triggers of leaf partitions. This led to unexpected behavior of
such constraints. After updating to this version, any misbehaving
partitioned tables can be fixed by executing a
new <command>ALTER</command> command to set the desired properties.
</para>
<para>
This change also disallows applying such an <command>ALTER</command>
directly to the constraints of leaf partitions. The only supported
case is for the whole partitioning hierarchy to have identical
constraint properties, so such <command>ALTER</command>s must be
applied at the partition root.

Fix bug with coercing the result of a <literal>COLLATE</literal>

This led to a parse tree in which the <literal>COLLATE</literal>
appears to be applied to a non-collatable value. While that
normally has no real impact (since <literal>COLLATE</literal> has no
effect at runtime), it was possible to construct views that would be

Ensure we default to <varname>wal_sync_method</varname>

normally become the default choice. However, it's unclear whether
that is actually an improvement for Postgres, so preserve the
existing default for now.
