[DOCS] "Release date" for aborted releases?
I am wondering whether to leave the release note pages for 8.3.2, 8.2.8, etc saying "Release date: 2008-06-09", or to change them to something like "Never released". Thoughts? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs

I think a mention in the 8.3.3 notes saying something like "the 8.3.2 version was never released to the public because it contained a bug" should be enough -- so all release note items should be for 8.3.3. -- Alvaro Herrerahttp://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs

The implication being that our other releases *don't* contain bugs? Seems a bit wordy to me, and anyway I just finished committing them the other way ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs

No, the implication being that we learned of this bug and its severity just before the release was carried out in full. > Seems a bit wordy to me, and anyway I just finished committing them > the other way ... Just a matter of taste anyway, probably. I saw an announcements like that a couple of days ago, which is what prompted my suggestion. -- Alvaro Herrerahttp://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
