Sorry, just looking at this now. Since RLS is new for 9.5, we wouldn't
mention the RLS change in the release notes because is is part of the
RLS new features, but we could mention the SB change --- the new text
would be:

Allow non-LEAKPROOF functions to be passed into security barrier views
if the function does not reference any table columns (Dean Rasheed)

However, this is usually a level of detail that I do not cover in the
release notes, so I need someone else to tell me it should be added.
