The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces the first Release
Candidate for PostgreSQL 9.2, which will include major increases in
performance and both vertical and horizontal scalability. All
outstanding issues should be fixed in this release candidate. Users
should download and test PostgreSQL 9.2rc1 as soon as possible to ensure
that the 9.2 final release is bug-free.

9.2rc1 includes multiple bug fixes to earlier beta releases, fixing all
known outstanding issues as of last week. Among them are:

* Multiple documentation updates
* Apply translation updates
* Fix to cascading privilege REVOKE
* Prevent circular logic in pg_dump of security barrier views
* Fix bugs in pg_trgm
* Fix GiST build failure
* Disallow extensions from owning their own schema

test 9.2rc1 and make sure that those issues are resolved. If you
haven't yet tested 9.2, please help out the PostgreSQL project by
