You are dreaming on this one. Of our changes in any major release, probably 40% are from the TODO list, and 60% are just patches submitted. How does aomething even get on the TODO list from a patch? To do what you want requires someone with technical knowlege to spend serious time analyzing the CVS commits and digesting it into a web page. I can be done, but it isn't the same purpose as the TODO list. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
