commit    3f09bb8d27d509c25e4cbeef92ad454582579851
Author:   Noah Misch <noah@leadboat.com>
Date:     Fri Jul 18 20:05:17 2014 +0000
First released in: 9.5.0, 9.0.18, 9.1.14, 9.2.9, 9.3.5, 9.4.0

    Limit pg_upgrade authentication advice to always-secure techniques.
    
    ~/.pgpass is a sound choice everywhere, and "peer" authentication is
    safe on every platform it supports.  Cease to recommend "trust"
    authentication, the safety of which is deeply configuration-specific.
    Back-patch to 9.0, where pg_upgrade was introduced.
