Thread: Support for BDR in 9.5?

Can anyone tell me if PostgreSQL 9.5 supports (either natively or by extension) the BDR functionality?

I tried it out and ran into issues, but it could well have been I was doing something wrong.

Thanks!

Although many of the components of BDR are in 9.5, BDR itself is still
currently a fork. It can be downloaded from 2ndQuadrant. In theory it
will be available in 9.6.

Bdr is only compatible with 9.4 and needs the specific bdr postgres.
