Decisions to Recheck Mid-Beta

• Enable data checksums by default
  • Commit: 04bec894a0
  • Data checksums have been enabled by default. pg_upgrade cannot upgrade between non-checksum and checksum instances, so some additional steps are required by the user. Check whether the upgrade experience is tolerable and sufficiently documented. See the following list of threads that might be enhancing the end user experience:
    • Changing the state of data checksums in a running cluster

• fixing tsearch locale support
  • Commit: fb1a18810f0
  • Text search locale support has been updated and integrated into the common locale framework. Possible upgrade issues should probably at least be noted in the release notes.
