I don't known, which item of todo is completed, but I compose list of items: 1) add support for microvacuum for GIN index in common with Anastasiya Lubennikova (she will be realize function amgettuple in GIN), if it's a possible feature. 2) bug with Index on inet changes query result ( http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/201010112055.o9bktzf7011...@wwwmaster.postgresql.org#201010112055.o9bktzf7011...@wwwmaster.postgresql.org ) 3) Teach GIN cost estimation about "fast scans"(I know very little about GIN, but discussion in mailing list was interesting for me) 4) pg_restore unusable for expensive matviews ( http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20140820021530.2534.43...@wrigleys.postgresql.org#20140820021530.2534.43...@wrigleys.postgresql.org ) 5) may be community can suggest me such thing with GiST or microvacuum for GiST will be usefull for all.
