http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/news-8.4devel-ready-for-testing.php Note these are development RPMs. > When: Is there any official word on when 8.4 will be released?

I think targeted date is May '09 and may be delayed beyond that since there is no beta yet. But it's worth the wait. I'm a postgresql end user so I'm guessing here. What: Is there a more or less definitive list of the new features that > will end up in the release? There are 3 features that influenced our > decision to go with 8.4 and I would like to read more about the level > of certainty with which these will end up in 8.4. The features are 1) > WITH clauses, 2) WINDOW-ing functions like SUM() OVER PARTITION BY (), > LEAD(), LAG(), etc., and 3) Hierarchical queries. http://momjian.us/main/writings/pgsql/features.pdf Joey
