Here are the 7.4.2 release notes I made. I have a few question: What detail do we need on the pg_statistics alignment fix? Do we need to show an UPDATE query to fix database? What are the ramifications of leaving it alone?
A few categories list "various fixes" for rare fixes we made in a few areas. We would not normally spell those out in detail in a major release, and I assume we wouldn't do that in a minor release either. I will add comments to a few of them later. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes Release 7.4.2 Release date: 2004-03-??
