Release notes for 10.1, 9.6.6, 9.5.10, 9.4.15, 9.3.20, 9.2.24. 

In the v10 branch, also back-patch the effects of 1ff01b390 and c29c57890
on these files, to reduce future maintenance issues.  (I'd do it further
back, except that the 9.X branches differ anyway due to xlog-to-wal
link tag renaming.)

Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2017c
(Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
This fixes various issues; the only one likely to be user-visible
is that the default DST rules for a POSIX-style zone name, if
no <filename>posixrules</filename> file exists in the timezone data
directory, now match current US law rather than what it was a dozen
years ago.

Record proper dependencies when a view or rule

</para>
<para>
Lack of these dependencies could allow a column or data
type <command>DROP</command> to go through when it ought to fail,
thereby causing later uses of the view or rule to get errors.
This patch does not do anything to protect existing views/rules,
only ones created in the future.

<para>
Correctly detect hashability of range data types (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
The planner mistakenly assumed that any range type could be hashed
for use in hash joins or hash aggregation, but actually it must check
whether the range's subtype has hash support. This does not affect any
of the built-in range types, since they're all hashable anyway.

Prevent sharing transition states between ordered-set aggregates

provisions for dealing with such cases safely, but in released
branches, just disable the optimization.
