Here are the 7.4.2 release notes I made. I have a few question:
What detail do we need on the pg_statistics alignment fix? Do we need
to show an UPDATE query to fix database? What are the ramifications of
leaving it alone?
A few categories list "various fixes" for rare fixes we made in a few
areas. We would not normally spell those out in detail in a major
release, and I assume we wouldn't do that in a minor release either.
I will add comments to a few of them later.
