* New upstream security/bug fix release (LP: #1614113):
  - Fix possible mis-evaluation of nested CASE-WHEN expressions
    A CASE expression appearing within the test value subexpression of
    another CASE could become confused about whether its own test value was
    null or not.  Also, inlining of a SQL function implementing the equality
    operator used by a CASE expression could result in passing the wrong
    test value to functions called within a CASE expression in the SQL
    function's body.  If the test values were of different data types, a
    crash might result; moreover such situations could be abused to allow
    disclosure of portions of server memory.  (CVE-2016-5423)

  - Fix client programs' handling of special characters in database and role
    names
    Numerous places in vacuumdb and other client programs could become
    confused by database and role names containing double quotes or
    backslashes.  Tighten up quoting rules to make that safe. Also, ensure
    that when a conninfo string is used as a database name parameter to
    these programs, it is correctly treated as such throughout.

    Fix handling of paired double quotes in psql's \connect and \password
    commands to match the documentation.

    Introduce a new -reuse-previous option in psql's \connect command to
    allow explicit control of whether to re-use connection parameters from a
    previous connection.  (Without this, the choice is based on whether the
    database name looks like a conninfo string, as before.)  This allows
    secure handling of database names containing special characters in
    pg_dumpall scripts.

    pg_dumpall now refuses to deal with database and role names containing
    carriage returns or newlines, as it seems impractical to quote those
    characters safely on Windows.  In future we may reject such names on the
    server side, but that step has not been taken yet.

    These are considered security fixes because crafted object names
    containing special characters could have been used to execute commands
    with superuser privileges the next time a superuser executes pg_dumpall
    or other routine maintenance operations.  (CVE-2016-5424)
