(approximately in the order in the HISTORY file)

WAL -- update documentation of fsync option (runtime.sgml)

TOAST -- The introductory paragraph in lobj.sgml needs some updating
regarding the remaining merits of the large object system.

Overhaul pg_dump (Philip Warner) -- backup.sgml could use some fresh
blood after this development.

New PL/pgSQL GET DIAGNOSTICS statement for SPI value access (Jan)

New quote_ident() and quote_literal() functions (Jan) -- Is documented in
PL/pgSQL chapter, but should be in the functions chapter as well?

New SQL function setval(seq,val,bool) for use in pg_dump (Philip) --
Sequence related functions seem poorly documented in general.

New CHECKPOINT command for WAL which creates new WAL log file (Vadim)

New BIT and BIT VARYING types (Adriaan Joubert, Tom, me)

That's about all I can see. Nice...
