+- Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect query results when using prepared statements with _NULL_ placeholders. The bug has existed since v21.2 and violated SQL _NULL_-equality semantics by returning rows with _NULL_ values when the result set should have been empty. From v21.2 to v25.3, the bug occurred when all of the following were true:
+    - The query was run with an explicit or implicit prepared statement
+    - The query had an equality filter on a placeholder and a `UNIQUE` column
+    - The column contained _NULL_ values
+    - The placeholder was assigned to _NULL_ during execution
+  - Starting in v25.4, the requirements to trigger the bug were loosened: the column no longer needed to be `UNIQUE`, and the bug could be reproduced if the column was included in any index. [#159078][#159078]
+- Fixed a race condition that could occur during context cancellation of an incoming snapshot. [#159538][#159538]
+- Fixed a bug causing a query predicate to be ignored when the predicate was on a column following one or more `ENUM` columns in an index, the predicate constrained the column to multiple values, and a lookup join to the index was chosen for the query plan. This bug was introduced in 24.3.0 and has been present in all versions since. [#159774][#159774]

+- Fixed a bug that allowed columns to be dropped despite being referenced by a routine. This could occur when a column was only referenced as a target column in the `SET` clause of an `UPDATE` statement within the routine. This fix only applies to newly-created routines. In versions prior to v26.1, the fix must be enabled by setting the session variable `prevent_update_set_column_drop`. [#159442][#159442]
+- Fixed a bug where creating a routine could create unnecessary column dependencies when the routine references columns through `CHECK` constraints (including those for RLS policies and hash-sharded indexes) or partial index predicates. These unnecessary dependencies prevented dropping the column without first dropping the routine. The fix is gated behind the session setting `use_improved_routine_deps_triggers_and_computed_cols`, which is off by default in versions prior to v26.1. [#159442][#159442]
