1. BUG #18668: [Windows] September 2024 releases (17.0, 16.4, etc) all include older libiconv-2.dll

   Bug reference:      18668
   Logged by:          James Scott
   Email address:      james.scott@hpe.com
   PostgreSQL version: 17.0
   Operating system:   Windows
   Description:        
   
   All of the September 2024 releases (17.0, 16.4, etc) all include
   libiconv-2.dll version 1.15. This is a regression from the 1.17 version
   which has been included since PostgreSQL 11 at least. 
   
   This appears to be the case in both the -binaries.zip and the Windows
   installer. 
   
   Per the installer source at
   https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/edb-installers/blob/REL-17/server/packages-win64.txt,
   it appears that the intention is to continue bundling 1.17. 
   
   Perhaps the transition in
   https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/edb-installers/commit/8ec613dbfb52430101804244984e201e2cbfdbc0
   created an opportunity for an older, cached version to be included? 
   
   To be clear, PostgreSQL seems to work just fine with the older version of
   the DLL. I noted it when updating an embedded version of the -binaries
   package, and wanted to give your build environment folks a chance to find
   the problem while it's benign. 
   
   Thanks!

   Hi James,
   
   This is not regression, in the past we have used iconv v1.15 as we are
   using gettext v0.19.8 and iconv v1.15 comes with it by default.
   
   Per the installer source at
   https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/edb-installers/blob/REL-17/server/packages-win64.txt,
   we will update the version here.
   
   In the future we are planning to update the gettext version and also the
   iconv, but we are still looking into that issue.
