No real need to worry. Those should've been downgraded to DEBUG-level
messages a release or two back, but nobody bothered...

a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too).
pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are
stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values,
not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random
sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large
tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now
user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command.
There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere
they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project
should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before.
A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison
routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.
routine DetermineLocalTimeZone(). In that routine, be more wary of
broken mktime() implementations than the original code was: don't allow
mktime to change the already-set y/m/d/h/m/s information, and don't
use tm_gmtoff if mktime failed. Possibly this will resolve some of
the complaints we've been hearing from users of Middle Eastern timezones
on RedHat.
give consistent results for all datatypes. Types float4, float8, and
numeric were broken for NaN values; abstime, timestamp, and interval
were broken for INVALID values; timetz was just plain broken (some
possible pairs of values were neither < nor = nor >). Also clean up
text, bpchar, varchar, and bit/varbit to eliminate duplicate code and
thereby reduce the probability of similar inconsistencies arising in
the future.
This is an extension to the SQL9x standard, but is consistant with usage
of the underlying date_part() function used to implement it.
Example: EXTRACT('YEAR',...)
No impact on regression tests.
join. This is needed to avoid improper evaluation of expressions that
should be nulled out, as in Victor Wagner's bug report of 4/27/01.
Pretty ugly solution, but no time to do anything better for 7.1.1.

function arguments in join queries: copy the tuples into
TransactionCommandContext so they don't get recycled too soon. This is
horrid, but not any worse than 7.0 or before, which also leaked such
tuples until end of query. A proper fix will require allowing tuple
datums to be physically stored inside larger tuple datums, which opens
up a bunch of issues that can't realistically be solved for 7.1.1.
functions of join or subselect aliases. It'd be awfully nice if this
code knew for sure whether it was dealing with 'x.f' or 'f(x)' syntax;
maybe we can fix that in a future cycle.
