I just wasn't looking hard enough obviously :) That list still doesn't appear to be explicit enough though as we have "Multiple improvements in contrib/hstore, including raising limits on keys and values". What exactly is meant by limit, what was this limit before and what has it been raised to? Similarly: "Fix encoding handling in binary input function of xml type." What was the problem before? And: "Allow the collection of statistics on sequences". How would your average end-user see whether these statistics are being colelcted on sequences? And are these statistics actually used anywhere yet? I'm not really asking for the answer to those questions. I'm pointing out that it isn't clear (at least to me) how to determine what exactly has been fixed in order to test it. This doesn't apply to everything listed as some of it is quite clear, like "pg_dump/pg_restore --clean now drops large objects."
