+ AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The default unix user used by the PostgreSQL daemon has changed to
+ `postgres' to reflect the long time upstream's convention. Any scripts
+ you have using the old `pgsql' unix user should be modified when upgrading to
+ PostgreSQL version 9.6. Older versions of PostgreSQL will continue using
+ `pgsql' until their end-of-life.
+
+ For users with UTF-8 locales in the database: The ICU patch is *activated by
+ default* for the PostgreSQL-9.6 server. For previous versions it was optional
+ and default off, but this has changed. Please read the entry here below from
+ 20160811 and understand the consequences of changing between ICU and system
+ locale for database collation (short version: don't). pg_upgrade requires the
+ collation method to be the same (or a reindex), while pg_dump/restore does not.
+
+ Also, the default home directory for the postgres user is now
+ /var/db/postgres, and the default data directory for PostgreSQL 9.6 is
+ /var/db/postgres/data96.
