protect passwords stored as user mapping options
(Michael Paquier, Feike Steenbergen)

This might well include passwords for other users.
Adjust the view definition to match the behavior of

these options are visible to the user being mapped, or if the mapping

</P
><P
> Some selectivity estimation functions in the planner will apply
user-defined operators to values obtained
from <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>pg_statistic</TT
>, such as most common values and
histogram entries. This occurs before table permissions are checked,
so a nefarious user could exploit the behavior to obtain these values
for table columns he does not have permission to read. To fix,
fall back to a default estimate if the operator's implementation
function is not certified leak-proof and the calling user does not have
permission to read the table column whose statistics are needed.
At least one of these criteria is satisfied in most cases in practice.

Switch to numeric abbreviations for numerous time zones in South
America, the Pacific and Indian oceans, and some Asian and Middle
Eastern countries.
</P
><P
> The IANA time zone database previously provided textual abbreviations
for all time zones, sometimes making up abbreviations that have little
or no currency among the local population. They are in process of
reversing that policy in favor of using numeric UTC offsets in zones
where there is no evidence of real-world use of an English
abbreviation. At least for the time being, <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"

in MSVC builds (David Rowley)
</P
><P
> The Microsoft MSVC build scripts neglected to install
the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"

> file in the timezone directory tree.
This resulted in the timezone code falling back to its built-in
rule about what DST behavior to assume for a POSIX-style time zone
name. For historical reasons that still corresponds to the DST rules
the USA was using before 2007 (i.e., change on first Sunday in April
and last Sunday in October). With this fix, a POSIX-style zone name
will use the current and historical DST transition dates of
the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>US/Eastern</TT
> zone. If you don't want that, remove
the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>posixrules</TT
> file, or replace it with a copy of some
other zone file (see <A
HREF="datatype-datetime.html#DATATYPE-TIMEZONES"
>Section 8.5.3</A
>). Note that
due to caching, you may need to restart the server to get such changes
to take effect.
