Release date: 2024-11-21

This release contains a single fix from 12.21. For information about new features in major release 12, see Section E.23.

### E.1.1. Migration to Version 12.22

A dump/restore is not required for those running 12.X.

However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 12.18, see Section E.5.

### E.1.2. Changes

- Restore functionality of `ALTER {ROLE|DATABASE} SET role` (Tom Lane, Noah Misch) §

  The fix for CVE-2024-10978 accidentally caused settings for `role` to not be applied if they come from non-interactive sources, including previous `ALTER {ROLE|DATABASE}` commands and the `PGOPTIONS` environment variable.
