    XML data type
  * Enumerated data types (ENUM)
  * Arrays of composite types
  * Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) data type
  * Add control over whether NULLs sort first or last
  * Updatable cursors
  * Server configuration parameters can now be set on a per-function
    basis
  * User-defined types can now have type modifiers
  * Automatically re-plan cached queries when table definitions change
    or statistics are updated
  * Numerous improvements in logging and statistics collection
  * Support Security Service Provider Interface (SSPI) for
    authentication on Windows
  * Support multiple concurrent autovacuum processes, and other
    autovacuum improvements
  * Allow the whole PostgreSQL distribution to be compiled with
    Microsoft Visual C++

If you intend to upgrade your PostgreSQL installation, you may need to
perform a dump-and-restore to move your current databases into the newer
PostgreSQL installation. Please dump your databases *prior* to installing
the new PostgreSQL.
Please see the Backup and Restore section of the PostgreSQL Administrator's
Guide (databases/postgresql-docs) for complete information on how to
perform the databases dump.
