I reworeded it to:
<listitem>
<!--
Author: Peter Eisentraut <peter@eisentraut.org>
2020-06-10 [c7eab0e97] Change default of password_encryption to scram-sha-256
-->
<para>
Limit the ways password_encryption can enable md5 hashing (Peter Eisentraut)
</para>
<para>
Previously on/true/yes/1 values enabled md5. Now, only the string md5 does this.
</para>
</listitem>
I also have this entry:
<listitem>
<!--
Author: Peter Eisentraut <peter@eisentraut.org>
2020-06-10 [c7eab0e97] Change default of password_encryption to scram-sha-256
-->
<para>
Change password_encryption's default to scram-sha-256 (Peter Eisentraut)
</para>
<para>
Previously it was md5.
</para>
</listitem>
I am hesitant to merge them since they are different changes.
