From: Josh Berkus on 24 Feb 2010 00:37 The fourth alpha release for PostgreSQL version 9.0, 9.0alpha4, is now available. This alpha contains several new major features added since the previous alpha. Please download, install, and test it to give us early feedback on the features being developed for the next version of PostgreSQL. Features added in Alpha4 include: * Streaming Replication for binary log-based replication of PostgreSQL * New in-memory, high-performance Listen/Notify queue * Automatic row-count return to drivers on SELECT queries * ROWS PRECEDING and ROWS FOLLOWING windowing functions These new major features mean that we need you to participate in testing them. If you are able to help with organized alpha testing, please see the Alpha/Beta testing page: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/HowToBetaTest Alphas are not stable and should never be used in production; they are for testing new features only. There is no guarantee that any features or APIs present in the alphas will be present, or the same, in the final release. Previous alpha versions were called "8.5"; the 9.0 alpha is the same version of PostgreSQL, renamed for the release. Additional alpha releases, or a beta release, will be available for testing in a few weeks. More detail is available in the Release Notes included with each alpha * Alpha information page: http://www.postgresql.org/developer/alpha * Download the alpha: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/9.0alpha4 Alpha4 is currently available in source code form only. Binary packages for some operating systems will be prepared in the coming days. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers |
