What was new in 8.4 & 8.3?
The what's new in 9.0 document on the wiki is great. Is there anything similar for 8.4 & 8.3 & so on?
I haven't had time to take advantage of all new features for a while. (Always read the release notes, just couldn't do much about them.) And now I'm looking at it being a good time to really update my dbs...

Nope, that's the first time we have this. Marc Cousin already did this
in french for the 8.4 release. Unfortunately, it's only available in
french. For those reading french, it's available here:

You can probably find some technical articles in some IT magazines. I
wrote some in France since the 8.3 release, I suppose you can find the
same in an english magazine.

Google translate does a useful job with that document. Very informative.
or even better, learn English properly and contribute your translation.
I'm not whining that there's no Polish translation.
French people are somewhat specific in that matter, don't get me
started on aviation .... (cos it drives me insane).

If Google translate is good enough, you can also take a look at this one:

:-) I do a bit of flying, and though I haven't flown in France I've
heard stories... in fairness, I gather that ATC is generally willing
enough to switch to English when required.
But we're getting a bit off-topic here.... :-)

ATC is fine, it is the other frenchman that are not. They don't use
english to respond, when you hear english on radio. So if you want to
fly there from the UK, you better learn some french (or skip the damn
nation's airspace altogether).
yes, offtopics ;)

Actually, I found the feature matrix on the wiki, which serves my purpose pretty well--reminder of major new features that I might not have adopted...

I keep my list of links to interesting articles on the features in each
version here: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Version_History
Haven't updated that yet to include anything but the one big 9.0 article
you were referring to so far.

Should we have a 9.1 one? There's already been at least one large,
new feature, namely INSTEAD OF triggers.
Cheers,

I think so. From my point of view, not needed until the release, or at least the feature set is frozen for sure. For people with a high enough level of interest to track things earlier, there are already sources. I'm thinking of a page to support those who do not follow dev, and periodically decide they now have time to start using new features...
