+      Formerly, a statement like
+      <literal>SELECT ... INTO <replaceable>rec</>.<replaceable>fld</> FROM ...</literal>
+      was treated as a scalar assignment even if the record field
+      <replaceable>fld</> was of composite type.  Now it is treated as a
+      record assignment, the same as when the <literal>INTO</> target is a
+      regular variable of composite type.  So the values to be assigned to the
+      field's subfields should be written as separate columns of the
+      <command>SELECT</> list, not as a <literal>ROW(...)</> construct as in
+      previous versions.

+      If you need to do this in a way that will work in both 9.0 and previous
+      releases, you can write something like
+      <literal><replaceable>rec</>.<replaceable>fld</> := ROW(...) FROM ...</literal>.
