Well, this is where I got lost then, because I only see it going into
master, which, uh, I thought was 9.6, but I am now realizing this was
committed before we branched. :-( This will be picked up when the 9.5
release notes are updated to match git.
Actually, I now see this in the 9.5 release notes:
<simpara>Current as of 2015-08-03</simpara>
This was updated by Tom:
ecc2d16b (Tom Lane 2015-08-03 12:29:10 -0400 10) <simpara>Current as of 2015-08-03</simpara>
and I see Tom added it properly:
<!--
2015-06-28 [cb2acb1] Heikki..: Add missing_ok option to the SQL functions for..
-->
<para>
Add an optional <replaceable>missing_ok</> argument to <link
linkend="functions-admin-genfile-table"><function>pg_read_file()</></>
and related functions (Michael Paquier, Heikki Linnakangas)
</para>
</listitem>
so, after all that detail, I think we are good.
