      This release adds many improvements to commands and database
-     facilities that were requested by users.  Rather than adding
-     a few new features, this release makes many features from
-     previous releases easier to use.  For example, there are now
-     additional controls for continuous archiving.  Many
-     performance bottlenecks have been eliminated, allowing more
-     functionality to be enabled by default.  Various additions
-     will make porting from other databases easier.  The changes
-     in this release continue the <productname>PostgreSQL</>
-     tradition of being not only the most advanced open source
-     database, but also the easiest to use.
