Well, you could look at release notes. That contains lot of information. Of
course archives of pgsql-bugs and pgsql-patches are the ultimate unless you
plan to delve into CVS history and sources..

Check this.. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/ANSI_diff_Transactions.html

To me, it seems that their definition of transaction is limited to preventing
two guys writing to same row simaltenously, which is of course a limited view
of things.

Few major differences I can see right here. Correct me on mysql side.

- WAL log
- Transactabl DDLs
- Nested transactions coming soon to PG
- PITR coming soon to PG

I would love to see entire checklist but don't have any time to devote to
mysql.
