Thank you for compiling this, Bruce!

The following item

+<!--
+2017-11-23 [05b6ec39d] Show partition info from psql \d+
+-->
+
+       <para>
+        Have psql \d+ show a partition count of zero (Amit Langote)
+       </para>

missed mentioning Ashutosh Bapat as an author.

Maybe, the item name and description text could be improved as follows:

+       <para>
+        Have psql \d+ always show the partition information (Amit
Langote, Ashutosh Bapat)
+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+        Previously partition information would not be displayed for a
partitioned table if
+        it had no partitions.  Also indicate which partitions are
themselves partitioned.
+       </para>


Thanks,
Amit
