PQnotifies() is defined to just process already-read data, not try to read any more from the socket. (This is a debatable decision, perhaps, but I'm hesitant to change longstanding library behavior.) The documentation has long recommended calling PQconsumeInput() before PQnotifies() to ensure that any already-arrived message would get absorbed and processed. However, psql did not get that memo, which explains why it's not very reliable about reporting notifications promptly. Also, most (not quite all) callers called PQconsumeInput() just once before a PQnotifies() loop. Taking this recommendation seriously implies that we should do PQconsumeInput() before each call. This is more important now that we have "payload" strings in notification messages than it was before; that increases the probability of having more than one packet's worth of notify messages. Hence, adjust code as well as documentation examples to do it like that. Back-patch to 9.5 to match related server fixes. In principle we could probably go back further with these changes, but given lack of field complaints I doubt it's worthwhile.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
