Also guarantees idempotency, even if some `apply` records stutter and fetch older changes. {{<issue 19728>}} Reduces chances of transaction conflicts upon promotion by delaying the sending of UpdateTransactionStatusLocation RPCs until after the first PROMOTED heartbeat response is received, enhancing transaction consistency and accuracy. {{<issue 17319>}} Resolves potential `WriteQuery` leak issue in CQL workloads, ensuring proper execution and destruction of queries, while preventing possible tablet shutdown blockages during conflict resolution failure. {{<issue 19919>}} Unblocks single shard waiters once a blocking sub-transaction rolls back, by applying identical conflict check logic for both distributed transactions and single shard transactions. {{<issue 20113>}} Eliminates a race condition that can occur when simultaneous calls to `SendAbortToOldStatusTabletIfNeeded` try to send the abort RPC, thus preventing avoidable FATALs for failed geo promotions. {{<issue 17113>}} Deprecates the `enableprocesslifetimeheapsampling` flag and allows to control tcmalloc sampling via the `profilersamplefreq_bytes` flag alone, enhancing user control over database sampling settings. {{<issue 20236>}} Resolves instances of the leaderless tablet endpoint incorrectly reporting a tablet as leaderless post-leader change, by tweaking the detection logic to depend on the last occurrence of a valid leader, ensuring more accurate tablet reporting. {{<issue 20124>}} Allows early termination of ReadCommitted transactions with a `kConflict` error, enhancing overall system throughput by eliminating unnecessary blockages without waiting for the next RPC restart. {{<issue 20329>}} Modifies SysCatalog tablet's retryable request retention duration to consider both YQL and YSQL client timeouts, reducing the likelihood of `request is too old` errors during YSql DDLs. {{<issue 20330>}} Fixes FATAL errors occurring during tablet participant shutdown due to in-progress RPCs by ensuring `rpcs_.Shutdown` is invoked after all status resolvers have been shut down. {{<issue 19823>}} Handles backfill responses gracefully even when they overlap across multiple operations, reducing risks of crashes and errors due to network delays or slow

{{<issue 20510>}} Corrects the computation of the `cdcsdksentlag` metric to prevent steep, disproportionate increases by updating the `lastsentrecord_time` when a `SafePoint` record is spotted, in addition to DMLs and `READ` ops. {{<issue 15415>}} Adjusts table drop process to shift CDCSDK streams from ACTIVE to DELETING_METADATA state, enhancing the ability to add new tables to streams even after a table drop. {{<issue 20428>}} Adjusts `tserver start` and `tserver stop` scripts to successfully terminate all running PG processes, irrespective of their PID digit count. {{<issue 19817>}} {{< warning title="Use 2.18.7.0 or later.">}} {{< /warning >}} Fix BNL local join lookup equality function. {{<issue 20531>}} Fix addition of new tables to stream metadata after drop table. {{<issue 20428>}} {{< warning title="Use 2.18.7.0 or later.">}} {{< /warning >}} In Read Committed Isolation, limit the number of retry attempts when the aborted query is retried. {{<issue 20359>}} Return correct results when Batch Nested Loop join is used for queries involving Nested LEFT JOINs on LATERAL views. {{<issue 19642>}},{{<issue 19946>}} In Read Committed Isolation, immediately abort transactions when conflict is detected. {{<issue 20329>}} {{< warning title="Use 2.18.7.0 or later.">}} {{< /warning >}} Introduces a flag: `enabletabletsplitofcdcsdkstreamedtables` (default:`false`) to toggle automatic tablet splitting for tables in a CDCSDK stream, enhancing user control over replication processes. {{<issue 19482>}} Enables the display of unique DIST statistics through the autoexplain module, available with a new option `autoexplain.log_dist` and can be turned off as desired. {{<issue 17508>}} Enables the modification of `issinglerowtxn` for finer control over non-transactional writes required by `COPY`, index backfill, or when `ybdisabletransactionalwrites` is set, preventing issues during non-bufferable operations for single row transactions. {{<issue 4906>}} Modifies YSQLDump to generate `create index NONCONCURRENTLY`, preventing automated index backfilling during the backup-restore process, making it quicker and more effective. {{<issue 19457>}} Verifies error return of pxcipherdecrypt in pgcrypto, a crucial step towards supporting OpenSSL 3.0+. {{<issue 19732>}} Enables a prerequisite import of upstream PG commit `Disable OpenSSL EVP digest padding in pgcrypto`, paving the way for OpenSSL 3.0+ upgrade. {{<issue 19733>}} Allows for the import of upstream PG commit `Add alternative output for OpenSSL 3 without legacy loaded`, aiding OpenSSL 3.0+ upgrade. {{<issue 19734>}} Prevents potential SQL injections in extension scripts by rejecting substitutions of extension schemas or owners, mitigating vulnerability CVE-2023-39417. {{<issue 14419>}} Mitigates potential security issues by importing upstream Postgres commit from REL11STABLE for future support of `ALTER <object> DEPENDS ON EXTENSION`, although it's not currently available in YugabyteDB. {{<issue 14419>}} Refines the planner to recognize YB LSM indexes' order sustaining properties, even with IN conditions on non-leading columns, thus supporting ordered distinct index scans effectively. {{<issue 19576>}} Increase the oomscoreadj (Out of Memory score adjustment) of the YSQL webserver to 900, the same as PG backends, prioritizing its termination when it significantly consumes memory. {{<issue 20028>}} Enhances debugging capabilities in YSQL Webserver process by introducing two new flags for endpoint access logging and tcmalloc stats printing. {{<issue 20157>}} Enhances YSQL webserver with new `/memz` and `/webserver-heap-prof` endpoints for greater visibility into webserver memory usage. Also introduces a new runtime variable `ybpgmetrics.webserverprofilersamplefreqbytes` for controlling tcmalloc sampling frequency. {{<issue 20157>}} Prevents tserver heartbeats to a master leader in a different universe, preventing incorrect registrations and data loss risks, gated by a new autoflag `masterenableuniverseuuidheartbeat_check = true`, requiring user to manually update post-upgrade. {{<issue 17904>}} Allows customization of MemTracker's metric names for better distinguishability, and enables aggregation of metrics at table-level for more comprehensive analysis. {{<issue 18627>}} Adopts the trace outside the block for ensuring correct execution of per-session tracing with standalone traces, and fixes callbacks to adopt the appropriate trace. {{<issue 19099>}} Prevents potential lags and errors in the WaitOnConflict workload testing by ensuring in-memory locks get properly resettled, even in the event of a failed conflict resolution
