Sir,

Dont you feel the incremental features should be available as upgrade
patches. eg at one point of time i found that the = ( ts_vector , ts_vector)
operator is missing in my database. later i had to manually create
the operator by looking at the tsearch2.sql file of later releases.
this is becuse tsearch2.sql (i think) was not runnable on database
having older versions of tsearch2.
yes i would summarise my experience but lemme know if the above
is an issue.

also do i need to change my application code ?
(becoz the older function is not available)

Warm Regds
