postgresql 8.0.7-1 and 8.1.3-1 is released via the cygwin setup.exe mirror network.
What's new: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/whatsnew (for 8.1) http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-0-7 Before you upgrade a postgresql package to a new new major or minor version (7.4 => 8.0 => 8.1), be sure to dump all your data before! With the new package you will not be able to access your old databases. => http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/app-pg-dumpall.html Minor subrelease updates (e.g. 8.0.4 to 8.0.7) can safely access the same database. Be sure to read the README.cygwin and the postgresql documentation. I recommend to install the new 8.1 right away, available as [test] version from setup, and skip 8.0 altogether. 8.1. has major feature improvements over 8.0, esp. when you use tsearch2 and PostGIS (crash-recovery on GiST indices, improved concurrency). I'll keep 8.0 a while as curr, but will drop 7.4 from prev soon.
