Same data as JSON: GET /api/v1/messages/:b64id/commits the thread's linked commits as JSON, with link sources. API reference →
  1. Allow WaitLatch() to be used without a latch.

  2. Add %P to log_line_prefix for parallel group leader

  3. Include replication origins in SQL functions for commit timestamp

  4. Avoid useless buffer allocations during binary COPY FROM.

I did some testing as well and have a cosmetic remark:

postgres=# copy t1 from '/var/tmp/aa.txt' with (parallel 1000000000);
ERROR:  value 1000000000 out of bounds for option "parallel"
DETAIL:  Valid values are between "1" and "1024".
postgres=# copy t1 from '/var/tmp/aa.txt' with (parallel 100000000000);
ERROR:  parallel requires an integer value
postgres=# 

Wouldn't it make more sense to only have one error message? The first one seems to be the better message.
