Yeesh. That was a lot of work for not a lot of user-visible improvements.

Expanded with my edits on the wiki.

BTW, we really ought to push the PostGIS folks to get coding for, and
testing, KNNGiST immediately.

Well pg_execute_from_file is the name of a patch that went in, but after
review, the function of the same name has been taken out. As a result
we do not have pg_execute_from_file() nor pg_execute_sql_file() in
alpha3 and we won't have it later with extensions.

There's the configuration file parsing merge that we might want to tell
users about. You no longer have to follow different quoting rules in
the recovery.conf and postgresql.conf files.
