Thanks Bruce for compiling the release notes.  Here are some comments
from me, after looking at the state of the notes as of f2ff203.

Should e2e02191 be added to the notes?  This commit means that we
actually dropped support for Windows 2000 (finally) at run-time.

At the same time I see no mention of 79dfa8af, which added better
error handling when backends the SSL context with incorrect bounds.

What about fc8cb94, which basically means that vacuumlo and oid2name
are able to now support coloring output for their logging?

Document color support (Peter Eisentraut)

<para>
THIS WAS NOT DOCUMENTED BEFORE?
</para>
Not sure that there is a point to add that to the release notes.
