Anyone want to add those points to the wiki page?
Also, I spent a dreary two or three hours this afternoon examining the
CVS commit logs since 8.3 branched. After cutting out docs-only
commits, issues that were also back-patched (and hence are release-noted
already), bug fixes to new-in-8.3 code, etc, there were still nearly 300
messages that seem interesting for release-note purposes. We've been
busy.
I tried to post that info to pgsql-docs but it broke the list's message
size limits (even gzipped, it's about 90K). I'd be happy to send it
off-list to anyone who is interested in trying to distill some
preliminary release notes.
regards, tom lane
