Commit 86713dee authored by Tom Lane's avatar Tom Lane

Third pass on 9.6.3 release notes.

Add updates for recent commits.

In passing, credit Etsuro Fujita for his work on the postgres_fdw
query cancel feature in 9.6; I seem to have missed that in the
original drafting of the 9.6 notes.

Use correct daylight-savings rules for POSIX-style time zone names
in MSVC builds (David Rowley)
</para>
<para>
The Microsoft MSVC build scripts neglected to install
the <filename>posixrules</> 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 <literal>US/Eastern</> zone. If you don't want that, remove
the <filename>posixrules</> file, or replace it with a copy of some
other zone file (see <xref linkend="datatype-timezones">). Note that
due to caching, you may need to restart the server to get such changes
to take effect.
