I am aware of this, but the 8.0.1 release notes are not online. I assume we are saying
I have to download them to view them. This may be correct now, but in the past that doesn't
seem to have been the case.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/release.html

Has all releases, including 7.4.6 and the changes to 7.4.5, but none of these appear to be
available for the most recent release (eg 7.4.7, 7.3.9 and 8.0.1) I know they may have been
only security release, but I assumed that the release notes would say what security bugs
those versions fixed.

But I could be all wrong about this too.
