 Yes, they're pretty late. Last time I read, the only major issues
 preventing their final release is around the installer. The 1.5 codebase
 itself has been stabilized for quite a while. Practically all work is
 now done to the 2.0 branch/HEAD. They have several goodies in store for
 the 2.0 release (e.g.: incremental backup).

Anyone working on incremental backups for PostgreSQL? I kind of miss them from my
Informix times (hey, I think it's the only thing I really miss :-) ).

Maybe when PITR is ready, making incremental backups will be trivial.

I think the Firebird team wants to make sure that their first public
release to the world is really good. (Okay, they have some 1.0.x
releases too but these were mainly bugfixes for IB 6.0, its predecessor;
and there are *lots* of bugs being fixed). FB 1.5 is the first version
that uses the new C++ codebase.
Anyway, I'm certainly not among those who complain. I believe Postgres 
is already moving ahead faster than any other open source and 
semi-commercial database projects that I know of. You guys are doing a 
great great job. :-)
