Release 7.3.17

E.273.1. Migration to Version 7.3.17

A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.3.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 7.3.13, see Section E.277 .

E.273.2. Changes

• to_number() and to_char(numeric) are now STABLE , not IMMUTABLE , for new initdb installs (Tom)

  This is because lc_numeric can potentially change the output of these functions.

• Improve index usage of regular expressions that use parentheses (Tom)

  This improves psql \d performance also.
