Re: 7.5 release notes

In the release not I can read:

#Allow arbitrary row expressions (Tom)

This allows columns to contain arbitrary composite types
like rows from other tables. [SNIPPED]

Wasn't this alread true on 7.4 ?

See:

kalman=# select version();

CREATE TABLE

kalman=# select e from test1;

kalman=# select (e).a from test1;
