From: Robert Haas on 20 Apr 2010 13:09 I think it might be time to think about shipping a beta release. I guess this is a -core decision, but I can't argue for it there, so I'll argue for it here. It seems like we're about ready, so maybe we could plan for a beta, say, a week from now? Here's a quick run-down of the remaining open items at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.0_Open_Items ... - Fix to_char('L') (localization) on Win32 when the operating system character encoding does not match the database encoding Seems like we're close to a fix on this, but even if not, I don't see why this should be considered a blocker for beta. - Thread safety and libxml2 A proposed patch is available, but nobody seems to care enough to bother testing it, so I can't get excited about postponing beta for it. - fix flight of fancy in InitPostgres Tom is looking at this, so it will be fixed in 17 microseconds. clarify HS error message when WAL settings are no good - This is just a case of adjusting an error message, no reason we can't wrap it up in the next couple of days. Improve behavior of SUSET GUC variables added by loadable modules? - Tom's looking at this, too. The replication connections consume superuser_reserved_connections slots. - I will fix this. Tuning of KnownAssignedXids module - This is important, but Simon has a patch he thinks will fix it. Could use some more testing, but again, no reason this can't get done in the next week. There are also two "documentation" issues listed; but I believe these can wait for 9.0 final. Greg Smith tells me he's still cranking away at figuring out what advice we can best offer. /me pushes luck And how about a set of back-branch releases while we're at it? /me also volunteers to help, assuming anyone thinks that any of the above is a good idea ....Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers |
