pg_dumpbinary v2.11 released

**Zurich, Switzerland - May 25th, 2023**

## pg_dumpbinary

`pg_dumpbinary` dumps a PostgreSQL database to a binary format. The resulting dump must be restored
using `pg_restorebinary`, which is provided.

pg_dumpbinary 2.11 was released today, it fixes a major issue at restore time.

- Fix restoration of extensions tables from the dumps. Data from these tables
was not restored since the use of pg_restore pre-data section to retrieve
the list of tables from the dump. pg_dumpbinary now create a new file into
the dump directory: `extensions-tables.lst`. At restore time, command line
filters on schemas and tables are also applied on this list if you need to
exclude some of them.
- Assume backward compatibility with old dumps that does not have the file
`extensions-tables.lst` generated.

`pg_dumpbinary` is useful when:

* You have bytea that can not be exported by `pg_dump` because the
total size of the escape/hex output exceeds 1Gb.
* You have custom type that stores `\0` internally in bytea but data
are exported by pg_dump as char/varchar/text. In this case pg_dump
truncates all data after the first '\0', resulting in data loss.
* Other cases where a binary output format is useful.

In these kinds of cases `pg_dumpbinary` helps by dumping the
PostgreSQL database in a binary format. In all other cases
the pg_dump/pg_restore commands distributed with PostgreSQL are
preferred.
