Sorry for speaking up late, but:

+    <listitem>
+     <para>
+      Correctly handle wraparound cases in the <literal>pg_subtrans</>
+      startup logic for hot standby (Jeff Janes)
+     </para>
+    </listitem>

This applies to all recovery scenarios, whether they are hot standby
or just plain-old automatic crash recovery.  (However, it does only
matter when prepared transactions are in use.)

Cheers,

Jeff
