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.
