Re: Postgres 9.0alpha4?

Thanks, Josh, for the notes - these are helpful. I'm inferring from them that a new instance build - from an 8.4-alpha - won't be necessary for this one?

The revision of the major version number is a bit misleading; per previous renumbering conventions (dare I say conventions?), the v9 family change would have suggested a major architectural difference. IE, that an initdb would be required...

Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Lou

PS - Really looking forward to the replication features. Already have the SSL build in place.

Oh, the feature matrix. Good point.

Otherwise, it's here: http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.1183
