Here are the list of changes for 6.4.1.

If your 6.4.1 pgsql/HISTORY file does not contain this at the top, you
have a faulty 6.4.1 distribution. I recommend you go to
ftp.postgresql.org or www.postgresql.org to get a new one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

PostgreSQL 6.4.1 Fri Dec 18 00:29:11 EST 1998
=========================================================

A dump/restore is NOT required for those running 6.4. Those running
pre-6.4 require a dump/restore, or for 6.3.* users, the use of the
pg_upgrade utility.
