Yes, and that's fantastic because it's very clear and easy to find.
However, it's for 8.1 only. I was looking for 8.1.2 specifically.

I suppose what I'm saying is that for someone who isn't familiar with
the layout of the site it's a bit difficult to find the release notes
for any given version of PostgreSQL as things stand.

Maybe even just one release notes link somewhere on the front page to
the full list would suffice? In fact, the 'Shortcuts' list of links
could be the perfect place for it.
