these down, but put them up for community review first.

<para>
Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions
(Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
The functions
<function>query_to_xml</function>,
<function>cursor_to_xml</function>,
<function>cursor_to_xmlschema</function>,
<function>query_to_xmlschema</function>, and
<function>query_to_xml_and_xmlschema</function>
should be marked volatile because they execute user-supplied queries
that might contain volatile operations. They were not, leading to a
risk of incorrect query optimization. This has been repaired for new
installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in
case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries. (Note that that
will need to be done in each database of the installation.) Another
option is to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a
version containing the corrected initial data.

<para>
Fix incorrect parallel-safety markings on a few built-in functions
(Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
The functions
<function>brin_summarize_new_values</function>,
<function>brin_summarize_range</function>,
<function>brin_desummarize_range</function>,
<function>gin_clean_pending_list</function>,
<function>cursor_to_xml</function>,
<function>cursor_to_xmlschema</function>,
<function>ts_rewrite</function>,
<function>ts_stat</function>,
<function>binary_upgrade_create_empty_extension</function>, and
<function>pg_import_system_collations</function>
should be marked parallel-unsafe; some because they perform database
modifications directly, and others because they execute user-supplied
queries that might do so. They were marked parallel-restricted
instead, leading to a risk of unexpected query errors. This has been
repaired for new installations by correcting the initial catalog
data, but existing installations will continue to contain the
incorrect markings. Practical use of these functions seems to pose
little hazard unless <varname>force_parallel_mode</varname> is turned
on. In case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries. (Note that that
will need to be done in each database of the installation.) Another
option is to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a

<para>
Avoid re-using TOAST value OIDs that match dead-but-not-yet-vacuumed
TOAST entries (Pavan Deolasee)
</para>
<para>
Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
TOAST table. If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
in <quote>unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
value <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote> errors, which would
persist until the dead entry was removed
by <command>VACUUM</command>. Fix by not selecting such OIDs when
creating a new TOAST entry.

<para>
Change <command>ANALYZE</command>'s algorithm for updating
<structname>pg_class</structname>.<structfield>reltuples</structfield>
(David Gould)
</para>
<para>
Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
were assumed to retain their old tuple density. In a large table
where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
(<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
happening in the table. This has been observed to result
in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming. To fix, assume
that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
density observed within those pages to the whole table.

Avoid spuriously marking pages as all-visible (Dan Wood,
Pavan Deolasee, &Aacute;lvaro Herrera)
</para>
<para>
This could happen if some tuples were locked (but not deleted). While
queries would still function correctly, vacuum would generally ignore
such pages, with the long-term effect that the tuples were never
frozen. In recent releases this would eventually result in errors
such as <quote>found multixact <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable> from
before relminmxid <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote>.

Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA tzcode release 2018e
(Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
This fixes the <application>zic</application> timezone data compiler
to cope with negative daylight-savings offsets. While
the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> project will not
immediately ship such timezone data, <application>zic</application>
might be used with timezone data obtained directly from IANA, so it
seems prudent to update <application>zic</application> now.
