A couple of extra notes while reading the HTML notes:

<para>
 Add timeline information to the <link
 linkend="backup-lowlevel-base-backup"><filename>backup_label</filename></link>
 file (Simon Riggs)
</para>
This feature has been implemented by me, not Simon.

<para>
 Document that <filename>pg_internal.init</filename> files do not
 need to be included in the base backup (David Steele)
</para>
Does not seem necessary to add that in the release notes..

<para>
 Cause large object permission checks
 to happen on large object open, <link
 linkend="lo-open"><function>lo_open()</function></link>, not
 read/write (Tom Lane)
</para>
Co-authoring with Tom on this one.
