Since there has been some, um, grumbling about the quality of the
release notes of late, I've prepared draft notes for next week's
releases, covering commits through today. These are now committed
into the master branch for review, and should show up at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/
after guaibasaurus' next buildfarm run, about three hours from now.

Please comment if you find anything that could be improved.

regards, tom lane

The sgml converter seems to choke on the UTF-8 characters that my name contains:

Add configuration variable lock_timeout to limit lock wait duration (Zoltán Böszörményi)

I don't mind if my name is written without the accented characters like in the other entry:

Have pg_basebackup --write-recovery-conf output a minimal recovery.conf (Zoltan
Boszormenyi, Magnus Hagander)

Alternatively the sgml tool can be taught to emit proper HTML accented characters
or my name can be written as "Zoltán Böszörményi"

Best regards,
Zoltán Böszörményi

doc/src/sgml/release.sgml suggest using the last one but when I looked at
release-9.3, I saw "(AlvaroAacute;lvaro Herrera)" in the webpage several times
where the sgml contains "(Álvaro Herrera)", so it's not bulletproof either.

Yes, fixed in commit 8 hours ago. Thanks. '&' expanded in my regex. :-(

I have applied your patch to use entities.
