OK, that helps. Alvaro had a number of items floating around and I wasn't sure where he was on them. Same with PITR. Once the number of open items for a project is over about six, I get lost. Is there a sense you and the patch authors have identified them all and are working on them so I don't have to worry about them? I don't care if they aren't done as much as I don't want them to be forgotten. Agreed on the docs. I should be done the release notes tomorrow and then the missing doc items can be listed and addressed. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
