+    <para>
+     A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.0.*.
+     This release does update the major version number of the
+     <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> libraries so it might be
+     necessary to re-link some user applications if they cannot
+     find the properly-numbered shared library.

+<listitem><para>New cache replacement policy <acronym>2Q</> replaces 
+ <acronym>ARC</> (Tom)</para>
+<para>
+ This was done to void a pending US patent on <acronym>ARC</>.  The 
+ <acronym>2Q</> code might be a few percentage points slower than 
+ <acronym>ARC</> for busy sites.  Another new cache replacement 
+ policy will appear in 8.1.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Change the Win32 default for config variable 
+ <varname>log_destination</> to <option>eventlog</> (Magnus)</para>
+<para>
+ This, by default, will send all Win32 server log output to the Win32 event
+ logger rather than standard error.

+ functions on some platforms (Neil)</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Allow <command>ALTER DATABASE RENAME</> by superusers 
+ who can't create databases (Tom)</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Increment the major version number of all interface 
+ libraries (Bruce)</para>
+<para>
+ This should have been done in 8.0.0.  It is required so 7.4.X versions 
+ of PostgreSQL client applications, like <application>psql</>,
+ can be used on the same machine as 8.0.X applications.  This might require 
+ re-linking user applications that use these libraries.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Do not use locale-aware versions of <function>upper()</>, 
+ <function>lower()</>, and <function>initcap()</> when the locale is <literal>C</>.  
+ (Bruce)</para>
+<para>
+  This allows these functions to work on platforms that sometimes
+  generate errors with a locale of <literal>C</> and a non-<literal>SQL_ASCII</>
+  encoding.

+<listitem><para>Enable the <varname>wal_sync_method</> variable value of
+ <option>open_datasync</> on Win32, and make it the default for that 
+  platform.  (Magnus, Bruce)</para>
+<para>
+  This makes Win32 behave like other supported platforms that require the 
+  administrator to make sure that data is guarantted to be written to permanent
+  storage after a sync operation.  To turn off the write cache on Win32, 
+  from the <application>Device Manager</>, chose the drive properties, 
+  then <literal>Policies</>.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Add Win32-only <varname>wal_sync_method</> value of <option>
+ fsync_writethrough</> to write through any write cache between the 
+ operating system and the drive when doing a sync.
