Oh, absolutely, I agree with that. It goes to the docs. We might also want to think twice about producing the installers with 2012, and just stick to 2010 pro for that. Because once we go 2012 on that, it's no longer going ot be possible to build addons without either having the pro version or running into the risk of conflicting runtime versions... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
