+      Also, sequences created for <literal>SERIAL</literal> columns now generate
+      positive 32-bit wide values, whereas previous versions generated 64-bit
+      wide values.  This has no visible effect if the values are only stored in
+      a column.

       The output of <application>psql</application>'s <command>\d</command> command for a
       sequence has been redesigned, too.
