I've written 29 posts about new features in 8.5. And now core team decided to name it 9.0. Great. And now I have to make changes in all of these posts.
Just kidding – change is simple – I just added tag “pg90" and that's all.
Change from 8.5 to 9.0 emphasizes significance of new features in this version, and generally looks cool marketing-wise.
what were the features that made them decide that?
Caleb,
Hot Standby along with Streaming Replication did it. Just one or the other would have been 8.5-worthy.
ooh shiny. I didn’t know streaming had been accepted. now if we could get sql/psm too …
Excellent! I am looking forward to using those two features. I will be playing with the next alpha or beta release to help find bugs.
