AFAIK there are no major patches still outstanding, with the exception of the Windows-symlinks patch that arrived today from Andreas. Bruce and I both think that's worth getting in, if no one has any objections, but otherwise we essentially have 8.0beta1 code.
The documentation, however, desperately needs work still; and Marc would like to get some of the postgresql.org domains shifted over to the newly-installed venus server before we go beta. So the plan right now is for a couple days' push on documentation, wrap beta1 on Sunday, announce it Monday. If anyone has time to work on docs over the next two days, please show up on pgsql-docs and let us know what you want to work on. (And of course it's still open season for bug-fix patches.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
