Without the change the doc build fails as:

This splits a dev output to make the default output not depend on any
build dependencies anymore. This also avoids removing references from
pgxs' Makefile this way, which should, at least theoretically, be good
to build extensions via pgxs, making sure they use the same tooling.
ecpg is the "embedded SQL C preprocessor", which is certainly a dev
tool.
Most important, for closure size anyway, is to move pg_config to the dev
output, since it retains paths to all the other outputs.
The only thing with references to the dev output remaining is then the
postgres binary itself. It contains all the output paths, because it
shows those in the pg_config system view. There is no other way than
to nuke those references to avoid circular dependencies between outputs
- and blowing up closure size again.
After upgrading to 3.5.0 we noticed, that registering would redirect to
the login page and not work at all. At the same time the admin user was
unable to access its user settings.
This issue could be tracked back to the template cache, that must be
invalidated between release upgrades.
This was broken by the Rust 1.80 upgrade, and is an old version that
we’d have to patch to keep working.
We have already done the 0.4 → 0.5 update without keeping around
the old version or adding in any additional `stateVersion` logic
in <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/280221>. As a result,
migration for 0.3 users is going to be a little awkward. I’ve done
my best to provide comprehensive instructions for anyone who hasn’t
already bumped to 0.4.
It is probably a footgun to add `stateVersion` logic for any
package that makes backwards‐incompatible schema changes and only
supports migration from the immediately previous version. Users
won’t get migrated by default and we have to either package and
maintain an endlessly growing list of old versions or add complicated
instructions like this. It’s not really practical for us to support
a significantly better migration story than upstream does.
The cgitrc file allows list of values to be set for some keys as
multiple definition lines.
This allows setting multiple "css" files to include or multiple
"readme" branch and file lookup paths to be set.
