Hmmm, I'd like to keep it down to categories because we don't want to
list all 9 features in a sentence. I also like the "more new features"
because I want to hammer it in to people that we're not sitting still
and letting the NoSQL guys to all the innovation. Let me try ....

"This latest release contains more new features than any prior release
of PostgreSQL, enhancing scalability and security, as well as adding new
use cases for the database."

Needs help, but can you see what I'm driving for?

Move to end I think.

Thanks! Like I said, the release does need help.
