-     Major changes in this release:
+     This release adds many improvements to commands and database
+     facilities that were requested by users.  Rather than add a
+     few large new features, this release makes many features from
+     previous releases easier to use.  For example, it is now much
+     easier to create standby point-in-time-recovery (PITR) servers.
+     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 not only being the most advanced open source
+     database, but also the easiest to use.
