ISTM that the briefly established strategy to bump the version numbers at the beginning of development is not satisfactory. The reason is that the "beginning" is in many cases not well-defined. Example 1: If we hadn't noticed the PQnotifies() problem that started this thread we would have forgotten again. Example 2: If someone put a fix of some sort in libpq for 7.3.1, we would surely forget to bump the version number. Consequence: The library version number must be bumped as part of the release preparation, as is in fact written down in the release checklist. And such a bump should be done only after reviewing the change history of the library during that development cycle to determine if a major bump is necessary or if in fact no change at all is warranted. As for what to do right now, if others agree I would suggest that we do the appropriate version number adjustments (as described in the previous paragraph) for 7.3.1. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
