A single entry to mention psql autocomplete > improvements should be OK ... AFAIR, past practice is that autocompletion fixes don't make the release notes at all. It might be worth reminding folks that the release notes do not exist for the purpose of mentioning contributors. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

You've got the motivation backwards. We mention the responsible (blameworthy?) persons when describing a change that users might find interesting. We don't insert release-note entries that users wouldn't find interesting, just for the purpose of mentioning who did it. Which seemed to me to be mostly the point of your proposed addition. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
