I'm happy they're available; I'm prepping a talk on "new stuff" for Ohio LinuxFest, and for the notes to be available now is pretty ideal. Seems to me that what I mostly do is print off a copy, show how thick it is, and say "There are a really a lot of things improved, as visible on this list; alas, few are obviously 'sexy' new things..." In seriousness, that is somewhat troublesome with this release, and that's a challenge for the press release. (Work on that can presumably proceed, now, in that there is a feature list to try to distill.) There are lots of little things that I like; it's just hard to point to any big, easily identifiable things, like PITR, 2PC, recursive queries, and such. -- output = ("cbbrowne" "@" "gmail.com") http://linuxdatabases.info/info/lsf.html "Well, I wish you'd just tell me rather than trying to engage my enthusiasm, because I haven't got one." -- Marvin the Paranoid Android ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
