Thiserror is far better for most of these, and reduces accidental bugs / mismatches with descriptions.

note that the PathBuf here is not printed. Should it?

Hm, no. We want to be careful about printing paths or otherwise enumerating the environment in a way that could automatically pass-through to IO, because this crate doesn't know what the security context is for this error being formatted.

perhaps "allow caller to decide whether it is safe to enumerate paths"?

Thank you, that does look better, and indeed we might as well use thiserror everywhere if we use thiserror at all.

Welcome to pgrx 0.12.0-alpha.1!

Say the magic words with me!

```shell
cargo install cargo-pgrx --locked --version 0.12.0-alpha.1
```

# Breaking Changes

## No more dlopen!

Perhaps the most exciting change this round is @usamoi's contribution in
#1468 which means that
we no longer perform a `dlopen` in order to generate the schema. The
cost, such as it is, is that your pgrx extensions now require a
`src/bin/pgrx_embed.rs`, which will be used to generate the schema. This
has much less cross-platform issues and will enable supporting things
like `cargo binstall` down the line.

It may be a bit touchy on first-time setup for transitioning older
repos. If necessary, you may have to directly add a
`src/bin/pgrx_embed.rs` and add the following code (which should be the
only code in the file, though you can add comments if you like?):

```rust
::pgrx::pgrx_embed!();
```

Your Cargo.toml will also want to update its crate-type key for the
library:
```toml
[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib", "lib"]
```

## Library Code

- pgrx-pg-sys will now use `ManuallyDropUnion` thanks to @NotGyro in
#1547
- VARHDRSZ `const`s are no longer `fn`, thanks to @workingjubilee in
#1584
- We no longer have `Interval::is_finite` since
#1594
- We translate more `*_tree_walker` functions to the same signature
their `*_impl` version in Postgres 16 has:
#1596
- Thanks to @eeeebbbbrrrr in
#1591 we no longer have
the `pg_sql_graph_magic!()` macro, which should help with more things in
the future!

# What's New

We have quite a lot of useful additions to our API:

- `SpiClient::prepare_mut` was added thanks to @XeniaLu in
#1275
- @usamoi also contributed bindings subscripting code in
#1562
- For `#[pg_test]`, you have been able to use `#[should_panic(expected =
"string")]` to anticipate a panic that contains that string in that
test. For various reasons, `#[pg_test(error = "string")]` is much the
same. Now, you can also use `#[pg_test(expected = "string")]`, in the
hopes that is easier to stumble across, as of
#1570

## `Result<composite_type!("..."), E>` support

- In #1560 @NotGyro
contributed support for using `Result<composite_type!("Name"), E>`, as a
case that had not been handled before.

## Significantly expanded docs
Thanks to @rjuju, @NotGyro, and @workingjubilee, we now have
significantly expanded docs for cargo-pgrx and pgrx in general. Some of
these are in the API docs on https://docs.rs or the READMEs, but there's
also a guide, now! It's not currently published, but is available as an
[mdbook](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook) in the repo.

Some diagnostic information that is also arguably documentation, like
comments and the suggestion to `cargo install`, have also been improved,
thanks to @workingjubilee in
- #1579
- #1573

## `#[pg_cast]`

An experimental macro for a `CREATE CAST` was contributed by @xwkuang5
in #1445!

## Legal Stuff

Thanks to @the-kenny in
#1490 and
@workingjubilee in
#1504, it was brought to
our attention that some dependencies had unusual legal requirements. So
we fixed this with CI! We now check our code included into pgrx-using
binaries is MIT/Apache 2.0 licensed, as is common across crates.io,
using `cargo deny`!. The build tools will have more flexible legal
requirements (partly due to the use of Mozilla Public License code in
rustls).

# Internal Changes
Many internal cleanups were done thanks to
- @workingjubilee in too many PRs to count!
- @thomcc found a needless condition in
#1501
- @nyurik in too many PRs to count!

In particular:
- we now actually `pfree` our `Array`s we detoasted as-of
#1571
- creating a `RawArray` is now low-overhead due to
#1587

## Soundness Fixes
We had a number of soundness issues uncovered or have added more tests
to catch them.
- Bounds-checking debug assertions for array access by @NotGyro in
#1514
- Fix unsound `&` and `&mut` in `fcinfo.rs` by @workingjubilee in
#1595

## Less Deps
Part of the cleanup by @workingjubilee was reducing the number of deps
we compile:
* cargo-pgrx: reduce trivial dep usages in
#1499
* Update 2 syn in #1557

Hopefully it will reduce compile time and disk usage!
