Nice timing, as Mankirat also recently updated the code to determine the files to compare based on feedback from Peter
E;see today’s failure[1] for an example. Looks like this:
```
Branch: REL_18_STABLE
Git HEAD: 399a9e04e5491f8a76ffb482f4a86b9acb6f91fb
Changes since: REL_18_0
Binaries compared:
bin/postgres
lib/libecpg.so
lib/libecpg_compat.so
lib/libpgtypes.so
lib/libpq.so
log files for step abi-compliance-check:
Leaf changes summary: 2 artifacts changed
Changed leaf types summary: 0 leaf type changed
Removed/Changed/Added functions summary: 2 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added function (2 filtered out)
Removed/Changed/Added variables summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable
2 Removed functions:
[D] 'function void stats_lock_check_privileges(Oid)' {stats_lock_check_privileges}
[D] 'function Oid stats_lookup_relid(const char*, const char*)' {stats_lookup_relid}
```
Should look the same tomorrow but instead say “Changes since REL_18_0^”.
Best,
David
