      Repair damage done by citext--1.1--1.2.sql. · fe5e3fce
      Robert Haas authored
      That script is incorrect in that it sets the combine function for
      max(citext) twice instead of setting the combine function for
      max(citext) once and the combine functon for min(citext) once.  The
      consequence is that if you install 1.0 or 1.1 and then update to 1.2,
      you end up with min(citext) not having a combine function, contrary to
      what was intended.  If you install 1.2 directly, you're OK.
      
      Fix things up by defining a new 1.3 version.  Upgrading from 1.2 to
      1.3 won't change anything for people who first installed the 1.2
      version, but people upgrading from 1.0 or 1.1 will get the right
      catalog contents once they reach 1.3.

      Fix incorrect declaration of citext's regexp_matches() functions. · b22527f2
      Tom Lane authored
      These functions should return SETOF TEXT[], like the core functions they
      are wrappers for; but they were incorrectly declared as returning just
      TEXT[].  This mistake had two results: first, if there was no match you got
      a scalar null result, whereas what you should get is an empty set (zero
      rows).  Second, the 'g' flag was effectively ignored, since you would get
      only one result array even if there were multiple matches, as reported by
      Jeff Certain.
      
      While ignoring 'g' is a clear bug, the behavior for no matches might well
      have been thought to be the intended behavior by people who hadn't compared
      it carefully to the core regexp_matches() functions.  So we should tread
      carefully about introducing this change in the back branches.  Still, it
      clearly is a bug and so providing some fix is desirable.
      
      After discussion, the conclusion was to introduce the change in a 1.1
      version of the citext extension (as we would need to do anyway); 1.0 still
      contains the incorrect behavior.  1.1 is the default and only available
      version in HEAD, but it is optional in the back branches, where 1.0 remains
      the default version.  People wishing to adopt the fix in back branches will
      need to explicitly do ALTER EXTENSION citext UPDATE TO '1.1'.  (I also
      provided a downgrade script in the back branches, so people could go back
      to 1.0 if necessary.)
      
      This should be called out as an incompatible change in the 9.5 release
      notes, although we'll also document it in the next set of back-branch
      release notes.  The notes should mention that any views or rules that use
      citext's regexp_matches() functions will need to be dropped before
      upgrading to 1.1, and then recreated again afterwards.
      
      Back-patch to 9.1.  The bug goes all the way back to citext's introduction
      in 8.4, but pre-9.1 there is no extension mechanism with which to manage
      the change.  Given the lack of previous complaints it seems unnecessary to
      change this behavior in 9.0, anyway.

      Convert contrib modules to use the extension facility. · 629b3af2
      Tom Lane authored
      This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
      "foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK.  But it's time to get some
      buildfarm cycles on it.
      
      sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
      require a very nonstandard installation process.
