While freely acknowledging that I am biased because I wrote it, I am a bit
surprised to see the DSM registry left out of the release notes (commit
8b2bcf3, docs are here [0]).  This feature is intended to allow modules to
allocate shared memory after startup, i.e., without requiring the module to
be loaded via shared_preload_libraries.  IMHO that is worth mentioning.
