Re: 2023-08-10 release announcement draft

Hi,

Sorry, join late after the release note is out.

> * An out-of-memory error from JIT will now cause a PostgreSQL `FATAL`
error instead of a C++ exception.

I assume this statement is related to this fix[1].
I think an OOM error from JIT causing a PostgreSQL `FATAL` error is the
actual behavior before the fix.
What the fix does is to bring exceptions back to the c++ world when OOM
happens outside of LLVM.

Thanks,
Donghang Lin
