I agree. According to http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Hot_Standby_TODO , the only must-fix issues that remain prior to beta are (1) implementing the new VACUUM FULL for system relations, and (2) some documentation improvements. It's a little early to be worrying about docs, but shouldn't we be trying to get the VACUUM FULL problems cleaned up first, and then look at what else we have time to address? As regards the remaining items for streaming replication at: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Streaming_Replication#v9.0 ...ISTM the most important issues are (1) fixing win32 and (2) adding a message type header, followed by (3) fixing pg_xlogfile_name() and (4) redefining smart shutdown in standby mode. If we fix the must-fix issues first, we can still decide to delay the release to fix the would-like-to-fix issues, or not. The other way around doesn't work. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
