The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
versions of our database system, including 9.5.4, 9.4.9, 9.3.14, 9.2.18 and 9.1.23. This release fixes two security issues. It also patches a number of other bugs reported over the last three months. Users who rely on security isolation between database users should update as soon as possible. Other users should plan to update at the next convenient downtime. If you are using the ICU patch, please consult UPDATING. Improve periodic cleanup, suggested by claudius (at) ambtec.de. [1] PR: 210941 [1] Security: CVE-2016-5423, CVE-2016-5424

+ AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresqlNN-server with ICU patch
+ AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The ICU patch is added to the PostgreSQL-9.5 server. Please note that you
+ must never change between using the ICU patch and using system locale for the
+ same database cluster without REINDEXing all TEXT/VARCHAR columns or
+ dump+restore your database. Failing to do so will result in corrupted indexes
+ due to the differences between the locale definitions. ICU will always be the
+ better choice for speed and correctness. :)
+
+ Also, the ICU patch used to support other unicode encodings than UTF-8, but
+ that has been removed due to lack of demand and the complicated testing
+ required. If you use another unicode encoding and rely on ICU for collation,
+ please refrain from upgrading the postgresql server and instead contact the
+ author named above.
