Update COMMENT item:
...
< o Prevent COMMENT ON dbname from issuing a warning when loading
< into a database with a different name, perhaps using COMMENT ON
< CURRENT DATABASE
> o Change pg_dump so that a comment on the dumped database is
> applied to the loaded database, even if the database has a
> different name. This will require new backend syntax, perhaps
> COMMENT ON CURRENT DATABASE.

Add a rank/(rank+1) normalization option to ts_rank(). While the usefulness
...
of this seems a bit marginal, if it's useful enough to be shown in the manual
then we probably ought to support doing it without double evaluation of the
ts_rank function. Per my proposal earlier today.

Add an Accept parameter to "simple" dictionaries. The default of true
...
gives the old behavior; selecting false allows the dictionary to be used
as a filter ahead of other dictionaries, because it will pass on rather
than accept words that aren't in its stopword list.
