One way to tamp down expectations of client backwards compatibility would be to call the release 8.0 instead of 7.4 ;-)
Comments?
Actually, I've been thinking about the numbering of the next PostgreSQL version for a few days now.
The scenario that's appealing to me the most is this for the next release:
PostgreSQL 8.0 **************
+ Includes PITR and the Win32 port
+ Not sure where Satoshi is up to with his 2 phase commit proposal, but that might make sense to incorporate into a wire protocol revision. From memory he received funding to work on it, so it might be coming along nicely.
+ Other things optional of course.
Personally, I'd rather we go for PostgreSQL 8.0, waiting a while extra for PITR and Win32 if needed, and also properly co-ordinate all of the release process information (website updates, package builds, Announce to the mailing lists and news sources).
Regards and best wishes,
