Re: BUG #14662: 'has_table_privilege()' function fails with error, "invalid name syntax" when using Japanese symbols

David,

Truly appreciate the explanation on all of this.

One that question, just to confirm, I am assuming since master was updated, this means that the next release of 9.6.x (I believe 9.6.4 is the next) would also contain these changes, correct? I am just looking to know which installers will have the fix once they are released.

Regards,
Justin

Can I get more information on what back-patched actually means, and where I can get the fix? Is this related to the following link seen in the email thread?

​What is it you are trying to do? The fix will be included in the next minor update for packaged releases (9.5.8 around August 10th). If you compile from source you can just update your 9.5 Git branch and re-compile.

Back-patch means that not only was master updated but also one or more of the Git branches that are maintained for 5 years after their creation [1]

Patches attached to emails are intended to be applied to master and for use by committers/developers. End-users are advised to grab what they need from the Git repo.​
