Sure is.  Notice it didn't say "just added" or "added with this release"?

It just says "supports".  It's to highlight the fact that it can be used 
for non-English character sets.  Sure, a whole bunch of people know 
this, but the main target of the press release is people new to 
PostgreSQL that don't.
