Sorry for speaking up late, but:
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Correctly handle wraparound cases in the <literal>pg_subtrans</>
+ startup logic for hot standby (Jeff Janes)
+ </para>
+ </listitem>

or just plain-old automatic crash recovery. (However, it does only
matter when prepared transactions are in use.)
Cheers,
Jeff
