I have said all along that the alpha release of 5.0 had been
released in Januari. Are you tellingme that when you claimed that
"stored procedures are along soon" you meant an unstable alpha
release?

Unforunately, the subject line does not quite cover the content
of the announcement.
What has been released is an API for writing functions, not
stored procedures. That means you can write a function to do
foo(bar), but bar is all that foo() can work with. foo() can not
make additional calls to the database to query additional data
from another table. You can just write functions (like you could
do for a long time in C already), not stored procedures.
