Headline: PostgreSQL 8.0.0 Release Candidate 2
Summary:

It's been 3 weeks since our first Release Candidate, and we're down to the finally stretch for Full release, which is looking good for happening before
the New Year.

Story:

A current list of *known* supported platforms can be found at:
http://developer.postgresql.org/supported-platforms.html

We're always looking to improve that list, and with this RC looking to be the last one before release, we encourage anyone that is running a platform not listed to please report on any success or failures with Release Candidate 2.

As always, this release is available on all mirrors, as listed at:
<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp">http://www.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp</a>

For those using Bittorrent, David Fetter has updated the .torrents, which can be downloaded from:
