I based the release note text on this commit:

commit 274bb2b3857cc987cfa21d14775cae9b0dababa5
Author: Robert Haas <rhaas(at)postgresql(dot)org>
Date: Thu Nov 3 09:25:20 2016 -0400

libpq: Allow connection strings and URIs to specify multiple hosts.

It's also possible to specify a separate port for each host.

Previously, we'd loop over every address returned by looking up the
host name; now, we'll try every address for every host name.

Patch by me. Victor Wagner wrote an earlier patch for this feature,
which I read, but I didn't use any of his code. Review by Mithun Cy.

Was it wrong?
