Hi João,

Thanks for testing v3.

I'd rather not add it. The state you saw is what recovery leaves when
it stops before the commit of one of these commands, with the changes
the command makes before committing already replayed. A time target is
not the only way to end up there. With recovery_target_xid set to the
command's transaction and recovery_target_inclusive = off, recovery
stops at the same place. I kept the docs as they are for that case,
and I don't think the state should be described under
recovery_target_time alone. The text v3 adds there says where recovery
now stops, and I'd prefer to keep it to that.
