Bruce has always done these things and there are no indications that he won't do them again. In particular, platform tests will as usual be called for later in the beta phase, and the list of open items is frequently posted. Is there anything else? Nevertheless, I think that shortening the beta phase is something that we cannot and should not do. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
