literal strings

I think this should mention the GUC, whether we leave it enabled by default (in
which case people may want to disable it) or disable by default (in which case
people may want to enable it).

this type
remove "The" ?

Should these have markup added?

> Certain discarded tokens, like underscore, caused the output of these functions to produce incorrect tsquery output,
e.g.,both websearch_to_tsquery('"pg_class pg"') and to_tsquery('pg_class <-> pg') used to output '( pg & class ) <->
pg',but now both output 'pg <-> class <-> pg'.
 
> Previously, quoted text that contained multiple adjacent discarded tokens were treated as multiple tokens, causing
incorrecttsquery output, e.g., websearch_to_tsquery('"aaa: bbb"') used to output 'aaa <2> bbb', but now outputs 'aaa
<->bbb'.
 

Missing markup?

> Allow pgstattuple_approx() to report on TOAST tables (Peter Eisentraut)
> Add pg_stat_statements_info system view to show pg_stat_statements activity (Katsuragi Yuta, Yuki Seino, Naoki

> Add postgres_fdw function postgres_fdw_get_connections() to report open foreign server connections (Bharath
Rupireddy)

These should have additional hyperlinks

> Add primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys to system catalogs (Peter Eisentraut)

Should mention and link to pg_get_catalog_foreign_keys()

> Pass doubled quote marks in Chapter 36 SQL command strings literally (Tom Lane)

"Chapter 36" looks funny?

All these details could be omitted.

Could be omitted or folded into the preceding line.

These should all say <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>

All these slash commands should be <literal>

It's called analyze_new_cluster.sh (except on window), and it's Magnus' patch.

> EXTRACT(date) now throws an error for units that are not part of the date data type.

"Date data" always seems hard to read.
Could you add markup for "<type>date</type>" ?
Or say: of type "date".

> EXTRACT(date) now throws an error for units that are not part of the date data type.

Could say "if requested to extract units that are not part of the "date" type.
