Yes, we had to touch the source code in order to add documentation; but so what? Everything touches the source code, but that doesn't mean it should be listed there. I don't see what's the problem with having a new subsection in the relnotes entitled "Documentation" where these two items appears (glossary + new doc table format) are listed. It's not like it's going to cost us a lot of space or anything. I don't think there is any circularity argument BTW -- we're not going to document that we added release notes. And changing the table format is not entirely pointless, given that we've historically had trouble with these tables (read: they're totally unusable in PDF). -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
