Out-of-cycle release on 2025-02-20

Hi,

CVE-2025-1094[1] introduced a regression that was reported fairly
shortly after the release[2]. Based on the nature of the report and the
fact it's in libpq, the release team was unsure of what the overall
prevalence of the issue given its client-facing, and decided to have an
out-of-cycle release on 2025-02-20[3] to handle this sooner than the
regularly scheduled release[4].

Per standard release process, any patches being committed for this
release must be in by 2025-02-15 12:00 UTC to ensure they have ample
time to get through the buildfarm.

Thanks,

Jonathan
