Maybe what this says is that we need to get a "pre-beta" release out as early as possible, just after finalizing the last commitfest, and before the "open items" and Bruce-approved release note writing are sorted out. Probably the last alpha release will fill that role. Sadly, the greek folk did not consider having a letter between alpha and beta :-( -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
