Summary

Added new R3 releases for PostgreSQL versions 17.2, 16.6, 15.10, 14.15, 13.18, and 12.22 with V8 engine updates for plv8 extension. Removed references to CVE-2025-8714 and CVE-2025-8715 from multiple R2 release notes.

Security assessment

The changes remove mentions of specific CVEs (CVE-2025-8714/CVE-2025-8715) which appear to be future-dated placeholder identifiers, not actual current vulnerabilities. The added R3 releases mention V8 engine updates but don't specify security fixes. No evidence of addressing real security issues exists in the diff.
