I don't know what you mean by "is being used by CAR Functions in Postgres
database", but I assume this is a client application you have installed.
If so it is up to the application to specify its runtime requirements,
which in this case include an updated jar file. If it did not specify
this then the bug is with CAR, but not with postgres, client support often
lags new backend functionality.
