Wow, I have no idea why I put FDW in there. Next text is:
Change function prototypes to use uint* instead of bit* typedefs (Nathan
Bossart)

Yeah, another mistake. I got the description from this doc change in
the patch:
+ Compare a partial-match query key to an index key.
+ <literal>partial_key</literal> is a query key that was returned
+ by <function>extractQuery</function> with an indication that it
+ requires partial match, and <literal>key</literal> is an index entry.
+ Returns an integer
but that is only a clarification of an existing sentence, and I mistook
that for a new feature. If a patch has a doc change, I tend to focus on
that, but made a mistake here. New text is:
Change btree_gin to support all btree-supported cross-type comparisons
(Tom Lane)

Uh, I saw that one, and I don't normally mention changes where rare
actions used to generate errors, and don't anymore, and I saw this one
as being in that category.

I saw this as a documentation restructuring, and I usually only mention
document changes that create significant new content.
Attached patch applied.
