Hi,

I've finished writing the "What's new" for 9.2. Here it is:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/What%27s_new_in_PostgreSQL_9.2

Please, proof-read it, English isn't my native language.

As usual, I had to make choices about what to present here. If your
favorite feature isn't here, please add it, or tell me about it :)

A couple points

1)  CHECK ... NO INHERIT should get its own heading.  It isn't really a matter of a NOT VALID check constraint.
Agreed. And corrected :)


2)  I don't know how these are getting ranked but the SECURITY BARRIER bit might do better as a major feature.  It has the potential to be a total game changer in the way multi-tenant applications are developed and viewed.

They are ranked by how I felt they can be important for a user at the moment of writing. So the ranking is totally arbitrary.

I agree with your point: for someone developing a multi-tenant application and using views, it is a very important feature. For PostgreSQL users as a whole, I don't know, and I felt it wasn't.

Anyone else having an opinion on this ?
