Note that there is often some benefit to *not* pointing out every single
feature or toggle we add. In this case (as in the case of the
http-max-connections configuration option), I intentionally left these out
of the release notes. Why? Because I don't want folks reading those notes
to feel as if they *have* to fiddle with every knob simply because it
exists, and the default behaviors here should be sufficient.

Remember, the release notes aren't *the documentation*, and as such, they
needn't be exhaustive. They exist to advertise the benefits and (where
applicable) "gotchas" of the release, primarily for the benefit of people
who are existing Subversion users looking to upgrade to the new version.
