For core code, the answer would be a big NYET. We do not do feature additions in point releases, only bug fixes. While contrib code is more under the author's control than the core committee's control, I'd still say that you'd be making a big mistake to not follow that basic guideline. People expect release x.y.z+1 to be the same as x.y.z except for bug fixes. Introducing any new bugs into x.y.z+1 would cause a large loss in your credibility. (speaking as one who's introduced new bugs into a point-release recently, and is still embarrassed about it, even though the intent was only to fix older bugs...) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
