 Migration to version 7.4
 
    A dump/restore is *not* required for those running 7.4.
+   
+   If you want to install the fixes in the information schema concerning
+   the bit types, you need to reload the information schema. This is
+   either accomplished by initializing a new cluster by running "initdb",
+   or by running the following sequence of SQL commands in each database
+   (ideally including template1) as a superuser in psql, after installing
+   the new release:
+DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE;
+\i /usr/local/pgsql/share/information_schema.sql
+
+   Substitute your installation path in the second command.
