<para>
Clear the OpenSSL error queue before OpenSSL calls, rather than
assuming it's clear already; and make sure we leave it clear
afterwards (Peter Geoghegan, Dave Vitek, Peter Eisentraut)
</para>
<para>
This change prevents problems when there are multiple connections
using OpenSSL within a single process and not all the code involved
follows the same rules for when to clear the error queue.
Failures have been reported specifically when a client application
uses SSL connections in <application>libpq</> concurrently with
SSL connections using the PHP, Python, or Ruby wrappers for OpenSSL.
It's possible for similar problems to arise within the server as well,
if an extension module establishes an outgoing SSL connection.

Fix possible misbehavior of <literal>TH</>, <literal>th</>,

Make <application>pg_regress</> use a startup timeout from the

Fix <application>pg_upgrade</> to correctly restore extension
membership for operator families containing only one operator class
(Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
In such a case, the operator family was restored into the new database,
but it was no longer marked as part of the extension. This had no
immediate ill effects, but would cause later <application>pg_dump</>
runs to emit output that would cause (harmless) errors on restore.

Fix incorrect handling of equivalence-class tests in multilevel
nestloop plans (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
Given a three-or-more-way equivalence class of variables, such
as <literal>X.X = Y.Y = Z.Z</>, it was possible for the planner to omit
some of the tests needed to enforce that all the variables are actually
equal, leading to join rows being output that didn't satisfy
the <literal>WHERE</> clauses. For various reasons, erroneous plans
were seldom selected in practice, so that this bug has gone undetected
for a long time.

a table should have a TOAST table while the old version did not. That

there seems no reason to believe that we can't get along fine without
a TOAST table if that was okay according to the old version's rules.
