I just did a walk-thru of the Git logs since the time of the Git
cutover, making sure everything that was done on HEAD was documented
in the release notes.

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=slony1-engine.git;a=commit;h=ba0be2c14e49d4325ebc886977f3c0cbc3a346d1

As a bit of divergence from past practice, I added a list of all the
bugs that were multiply applied to HEAD as well as to other branches.
There are 23 thus far, which is rather a lot.  If anyone hates that,
I'll be happy to drop them, but it seems like a not-half-bad idea to
me to include this list.

I also added some notes about changes that didn't involve bugs that
were still changed.  Our normal practice should be to set up a bug in
Bugzilla for anything that we're changing (and I'm sometimes guilty of
not doing so myself).

Note that with some *trivial* formatting changes (specifically,
tossing prefix of * or ** against titles/subtitles), it's easy for
this listing to be processed using the Emacs Org-Mode
<http://orgmode.org/>, which enables transforming the notes into quite
"pretty" form in several formats including prettier text and HTML.
The latter would be quite useful for inclusion on the web site.

I'll attach samples of both text and HTML.  I'd be *slightly* inclined
to create a Makefile rule which spawns Emacs to read the release notes
and generates an .html and .txt file.  Not necessarily something vi
lovers will love, but I didn't say I'm *certainly* doing this :-).

1 Version To Be Determined, probably 2.1.0 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.1 Some items without bug numbers: 
====================================
  - Introduced tests using the clustertest framework, consisting of two
    sets of tests:
    - clustertest/regression - port of the old tests in the tests directory
    - clustertest/disorder - new simulated order entry system with a fair bit of concurrency

  - Configure and Makefile cleanups and improvements, including
    - Configure looks in common locations for some of the DocBook
      tooling, so it is less likely to require manual intervention on
      some common distributions
    - Pick up Groff automagically
    - Script to do virtually all the work documented in the [Release Checklist]
  - Documentation updates
    - Reorganized sections
    - Trend towards having version-specific documentation, rather than
      trying to have it document all versions at once
  - Git changes
    - Numerous .gitignore files set up to ignore generated files
