Note that PostgresPro doesn't suffer from abbreviated keys problem,

mentioned in the changes of upstream 9.5.2 release. When build with

<literal>--with-icu</literal> option, PostgresPro doesn't use

string comparation functions from system C library, and uses portable

implementations from <productname>libicu</productname>.

</listitem>

<listitem><para>

<literal>version()</> SQL function now returns <literal>PostgreSQL

9.5.2</literal>, as in vanilla PostgreSQL, because some client frameworks

such as <productname>SQL Alchemy</productname> are confused seeing

PostgresPro here. Function <literal>pgpro_version</literal> is provided

to report PostgresPro release.
