Or postpone the release for another month or two. There's still a few other unresolved issues, too, like the problems with psql and expanded mode; and the JSONB toast problems. The latter is relatively new, but we don't have a proposed patch for it yet unless there's on in an email I haven't read yet, and the former has been lingering for many months without getting appreciably closer to a resolution. I like releasing in September as much as anyone, but that contemplates people taking care to get known issues fixed before the second half of August. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
