On 6th of April 2020, Amit Kapila committed patch:
Add the option to report WAL usage in EXPLAIN and auto_explain. This commit adds a new option WAL similar to existing option BUFFERS in the EXPLAIN command. This option allows to include information on WAL record generation added by commit df3b181499 in EXPLAIN output. This also allows the WAL usage information to be displayed via the auto_explain module. A new parameter auto_explain.log_wal controls whether WAL usage statistics are printed when an execution plan is logged. This parameter has no effect unless auto_explain.log_analyze is enabled.

I just released new version of Pg::Explain Perl library that is handling parsing of plans for explain.depesz.com.
There are quite a lot of changes, but mostly internal, but one thing is pretty interesting – Pg::Explain, and because of this also explain.depesz.com should be able to parse plans with arbitrary values of border, linestyle, format, unicode_border_linestyle, unicode_column_linestyle, and unicode_header_linestyle psql options.
You can see five simple examples already uploaded:

On 2nd of April 2020, Fujii Masao committed patch:
Allow pg_stat_statements to track planning statistics. This commit makes pg_stat_statements support new GUC pg_stat_statements.track_planning. If this option is enabled, pg_stat_statements tracks the planning statistics of the statements, e.g., the number of times the statement was planned, the total time spent planning the statement, etc. This feature is useful to check the statements that it takes a long time to plan. Previously since pg_stat_statements tracked only the execution statistics, we could not use that for the purpose. The planning and execution statistics are stored at the end of each phase separately. So there are not always one-to-one relationship between them. For example, if the statement is successfully planned but fails in the execution phase, only its planning statistics are stored. This may cause the users to be able to see different pg_stat_statements results from the previous version. To avoid this, pg_stat_statements.track_planning needs to be disabled. This commit bumps the version of pg_stat_statements to 1.8 since it changes the definition of pg_stat_statements function.

Ever since I released explain.depesz.com over 11 years ago there have been cases were people would upload a plan and it didn't parse.
There were many reasons, but the most common was – plan was line-wrapped by injecting new-line characters where there shouldn't be one.

Recently, on irc, there were couple of cases where someone wanted to use uuid as datatype for their primary key.
I opposed, and tried to explain, but IRC doesn't really allow for longer texts, so figured I'll write a blogpost.
Couple of days ago RhodiumToad reported, on irc, a bug in explain.depesz.com.
Specifically – if explain was done using JSON/XML/YAML formats, and node type was Aggregate, the site didn't extract full info.

Some time ago I wrote blogpost which showed how to list tables that should be autovacuumed or autoanalyzed.
Query in there had one important problem – it didn't take into account per-table settings.

On 12nd of February 2020, Michael Paquier committed patch:
Add %x to default PROMPT1 and PROMPT2 in psql %d can be used to track if the current connection is in a transaction block or not, and adding it by default to the prompt has the advantage to not need a modification of .psqlrc, something not possible depending on the environment. This discussion has happened across various sources, and there was a strong consensus in favor of this change.
