Thread: Status report on 8.3 release
I wanted to give everyone an overview of where we are for 8.3. We have addressed almost every major issue for 8.3 but we are getting a steady stream of minor cleanups. These cleanups are vital to keep the quality of Postgres at a high level. It allows us to make major changes in every release but continue to produce a very reliable database system. 8.3 is going to be a watershed release, like 8.0, so it is not surprising we have cleaning up to do. Please keep up that activity. I expect these cleanups to continue for at least another week or two. Once they slow we will schedule RC1. Of course, we are getting near Christmas, so that might affect the final release schedule as well. Based on everything above, it is likely that 8.3 final will not be until the first week of January. I know everyone wanted this to be a short release schedule but the feature set just kept growing, so while we have the normal year-to-year release schedule, we do have a blockbuster release that we can all be proud of. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://postgres.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

So are there no plans for an additional beta? Given the recent addition of changes like http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-11/msg00552.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-11/msg00532.php I wonder if another beta before RC1 would be warranted. -Neil

I think the email is not quite clear :). There is a Beta 4 coming, the problem is packagers aren't really available this week so if it comes it will be next week. At least that is last I heard.

You could check out a copy from CVS HEAD if you want to test it now. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's PostGIS support!
