For what I have just seen in Robert Treats "PostgreSQL Weekly News" most of
these issues are already solved in the CVS, and I guess that in a bit less than
a year that's left for the release of 7.5 many new things will appear.

Anyway, from http://developer.postgresql.org/todo.php I see in the URGENT part
this:

# Add replication of distributed databases [replication]
   * Automatic failover   * Load balancing   * Master/slave replication   * Multi-master replication   * Partition data
acrossservers   * Queries across databases or servers (two-phase commit)   * Allow replication over unreliable or
non-persistentlinks   * http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgreplication/projdisplay.php 
 

# Point-in-time data recovery using backup and write-ahead log
# Create native Win32 port,    *  http://momjian.postgresql.org/main/writings/pgsql/win32.html 

The first isn't new, but as for what I know, it's a new aproach that Jan has for
adding replication to the server.

The other 2 didn't get in the 7.4 release.
