The release notes are still in a pretty crude state, but they do mention
this issue:

: The last vestiges of support for type names datetime and timespan are
: gone; use timestamp and interval instead

See

[HACKERS] some more minor incompatibilties 7.2 - 7.3

2002-10-01 Thread Mario Weilguni

I noticed some other minor differences between 7.2 and 7.3:
* 7.2: select now() + '1 minute'::timespan = works
* 7.2: select now() + '1 minute'::reltime = works
* 7.3: select now() + '1 minute'::timespan = does not work (Type timespan does not 
exist)
* 7.3  select now() + '1 minute'::reltime = works

So timespan is no longer supported I guess, but reltime will work as well. Is there a 
compatibility or migration section in the documentation that might help users to 
handle this?
Maybe we can collect such reports and prepare a upgrade tutorial?

Regards,
Mario
