We've recently fixed the Linux O_DIRECT mess, as well as several nasty crash and potential-data-loss issues. The core committee has agreed that it would be a good idea to get these fixes into the field before people disappear for the holiday season. Since time for that grows short, we will follow the somewhat unusual plan of wrapping tarballs this Monday, 12/13, for public announcement on Thursday 12/16.
As a reminder, this set of releases will include the final release in the 8.1.x series, since 8.1 is now past its announced EOL date of November 2010. Community maintenance of 8.1 will stop after this release. 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
