Waiting for 9.0 – Final Post ?

As of now, I am happy user of 9.1devel version of PostgreSQL:

=$ psql -c 'select version()'
                                                       version

 PostgreSQL 9.1devel ON x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled BY GCC gcc-4.4.real (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) 4.4.3, 64-bit
(1 ROW)

So, I guess no new features will make it to 9.0 – after all, 9.0 is currently already beta3.

If you want to get list of what I wrote about for 8.5/9.0 – just check the tag page.

Waiting for 8.4 – final post (?)

For quite some time I've been posting about new features in 8.4. First post was over a year ago, on 16th of February 2008.

Now, we just (yesterday) got nice surprise: beta is here:

(depesz@[LOCAL]:5840) 12:39:15 [depesz]
# SELECT version();
                                                  version

(1 ROW)

Since I don't expect any new features in beta and release candidate stages, let me put some short summary.
