I really wish pgAdmin be compatible with 2.9. This will be a really hard work but a needed one. But, just to make this perfectly clear right at the beginning, I'm totally opposed to commit such a patch while wxWidgets 2.9/3.0 is not available on Linux distros. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com -- Sent via pgadmin-hackers mailing list (pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-hackers
