Subject: doc: Fix mistakes in the most recent set of release notes.
X-Git-Tag: REL9_3_BETA1~365
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=335c5e9206b40c2fac3945db2499a57b948cc996;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git

doc: Fix mistakes in the most recent set of release notes.

Improve description of the vacuum_freeze_table_age bug (it's much more
serious than we realized at the time the fix was committed), and correct
attribution of pg_upgrade -O/-o fix (Marti Raudsepp contributed that,
but Bruce forgot to credit him in the commit log).

No need to back-patch right now, it'll happen when the next set of
release notes are prepared.
