 Migration to 7.2
 
    A dump/restore using pg_dump is required for those wishing to migrate

+   data from any previous release. In this release, comparisons using "=
+   NULL" will always return false. Previous releases automatically
+   transformed this syntax to "IS NULL", which is the standards-
+   compliant way to do NULL comparisons. The old behavior can be
+   re-enabled using a postgresql.conf parameter. The SELECT ... LIMIT
+   #,# syntax will be removed in 7.3. You should change your queries to
+   use separate LIMIT and OFFSET clauses, e.g. LIMIT 10 OFFSET 20. Also,
+   pg_hba.conf now only loads on SIGHUP.
