I can up with this text for these two items.  I think it still needs ro
be more specific:

    Fix to_tsquery() and websearch_to_tsquery() to properly parse
    certain discarded tokens in quotes (Alexander Korotkov)
    </para>
    
    <para>
    Certain discarded tokens, like underscore, caused the output
    of these functions to produce incorrect tsquery output, e.g.,
    websearch_to_tsquery('"pg_class pg"') used to output '( pg &
    class ) <-> pg', but now outputs 'pg <-> class <-> pg'.

    Fix websearch_to_tsquery() to properly parse multiple adjacent
    discarded tokens in quotes (Alexander Korotkov)
    </para>
    
    <para>
    Previously, quoted text that contained multiple adjacent discarded
    tokens were treated as multiple tokens, causing incorrect tsquery
    output, e.g., websearch_to_tsquery('"aaa: bbb"') used to output
    'aaa <2> bbb', but now    outputs 'aaa <-> bbb'.
    </para>
    </listitem>
