It's pretty fuzzy. Usually we don't even think about making a release decision until a couple of months have elapsed, and at that point we have a somewhat better handle on what sorts of problems beta has been turning up. I think trying to set release criteria for 9.0 right now would be premature. I would say the expectation for individual developers is "test, and read code". It's certainly not time to be starting new feature development yet. As for tracking, historically Bruce has maintained a list of open items, but I think we ought to move that over to a wiki page. The existing PostgreSQL_9.0_Open_Items page would serve fine. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
