I've collected a list of everything on this topic I've seen at 
http://www.postgresqldocs.org/index.php/Version_8.3_Changes

The Feature Matrix linked to there will be a quicker way to see what's 
happened than sorting through the release notes.

None of these changes change the fact that getting an exact count in this 
situation takes either a sequential scan or triggers.
