+The last vestiges of support for type names datetime and timespan are gone; use timestamp and interval instead
 Rule names are now per-relation, not global; DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax changes accordingly
 Readline and Zlib are now required by default and must be turned off explicitly if their use is not desired
 Define a third class of function volatility to allow indexscans in more cases
