Folks,
Well, we're past feature freeze and with one reservation we know what's in the
next version. After talking to several people at OSCON, I want to revive a
discussion: whether this is 7.5 or 8.0. We tabled that discussion in April
pending a feature list.
Even if Savepoints don't make it, we'll still have:
Win32 Port
LRU/Background Writer/Lazy Vacuum
PITR
Tablespaces
AutoVacuum in backend
$$dollar_quoting$$
Re-typing columns
New PL/perl
CSV import/export
This is more features worth mentioning than we've ever had in a single release
before -- and if you consider several add-ons which have been
implemented/improved at the same time (Slony, PL/Java, etc.) it's even more
momentous. If this isn't 8.0, then what will be?
I talked to a few of our people at OSCON who agreed with me. We'd need to
settle this before we officially enter beta. Responses?
