It's also not accurate, since the count of deleted pages was always shown by VACUUM VERBOSE (once per index scan). The new feature has us show pages deleted by the VACUUM that actually ran (not some earlier VACUUM) -- these are "newly deleted pages". I don't think that this item is worth mentioning, though -- it's just a nice to have. If Bruce removes it from the release notes entirely I won't object. In addition to the items that I commented on in my response to Matthias just now, I should point out the following item as worthy of inclusion: 9dd963ae25 Recycle nbtree pages deleted during same VACUUM. I suggest that this item be phrased more or less as follows: "Allow VACUUM to eagerly place newly deleted B-Tree pages in the Free Space Map. Previously VACUUM could only place preexisting deleted pages in the Free Space Map for recycling." -- Peter Geoghegan
