Really? is Linux 2.6 just 2.5 with some fixes? Glibc 2.Was Windows 3.5 just 3.4 with some fixes? Gnome 2.28 just 2.27 with some fixes? In fact perusing dpkg -l output the *only* software package I find that bumps the major version every single release is Emacs. It stands out as an outlier as soon as you say version 23 -- and that was despite a hiatus when version 18.59 was the newest release for years. Here is the Gnome project's description of what's new in 2.28 (over 2.26, the previous public release): The GNOME Project's focus on users and usability continues in GNOME 2.28 with its hundreds of bug fixes and user-requested improvements. The sheer number of enhancements makes it impossible to list every change and improvement made, but these notes aim to highlight some of the more exciting, user-oriented features in this release. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
