== PostgreSQL Weekly News - June 27 2005 == Feature freeze is looming large. You can make sure that your favorite feature gets in. Teodor Sigaev has made GiST indexes are fully concurrent. Magnus Hagander and Neil Conway have removed Kerberos 4 as it was unused, and the protocol itself is no longer supported, in part due to security issues. PL/PgSQL can now do EXECUTE INTO. Pavel Stehule added Oracle-style LEAST and GREATEST functions, which are essentially row-wise versions of MAX and MIN. The buildfarm will now send out a daily email digest of status updates. For details on how to subscribe, see http://pgfoundry.org/mail/?group_id=1000040 Tom Lane added a new database created by default named postgres. Alfranio Correia Junior has presented a patch that does ON COMMIT triggers which is sure to be controversial. http://gorda.di.uminho.pt/community == PostgreSQL Product News == Slony-I 1.0.6 released http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/slony1/news/newsfull.php?news_id=238 Slony-I 1.1.0 released http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/slony1/news/newsfull.php?news_id=237 DBD::Pg 1.43 released http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/DBD-Pg-1.43/Pg.pm Oryx 0.95 released, now with tsearch2 integration. http://www.oryx.com/mailstore/0.95.html == PostgreSQL in the News == Bruce Momjian spoke at the Massachusetts State House on Wednesday June 22 for Open Source Day. http://www.mass.gov/portal/index.jsp?pageID=itdmodulechunk&L=1&L0=Home&sid=Aitd&b=terminalcontent&f=_policies_standards_open_source_day&csid=Aitd General Bits: http://www.varlena.com/GeneralBits/ General Bits is taking a break this week.
