"Due to changes in system catalogs, a pg_upgrade or dump and restore
will be required for users migrating databases from earlier betas. This
includes a version update to the pg_control tool, making it incompatible
with PostgreSQL 9.4 and earlier. This beta also includes patches to many
issues shared with earlier versions, which will be updated in an
upcoming minor release."
