Alpha2/Beta1

From

At the Developer's Meeting, we said we'd be releasing an alpha or beta
each month until final 9.5 release.  As such, we should be releasing a
9.5 alpha/beta in the first week of August.

My question for Hackers is: should this be Alpha2 or Beta 1?

Yes!  :-)

(The decision, as to which, I'll leave to the REAL Developers.)

More seriously, I expect that the alpha probably generated a lot of 
useful feedback.  Was this actually the case?


Cheers,
Gavin

I vote for alpha2.  Comparing the "Open Issues" and "resolved after 9.5alpha1"
sections of https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.5_Open_Items, we've
not transitioned to a qualitatively different level of API stability.

Thanks,

Mine goes for alpha2. There are some issues remaining yet that require
low-level attention.

I agree. I'd hoped that my bugfixes would get committed in time for
what we were going to call Beta 1. Everyone qualified seems to be very
busy with other things that are more pressing.

+1 for alpha2.

I'd like to propose a patch for the issue "Foreign join pushdown vs 
EvalPlanQual", but I need more time ...

Best regards,

+1 for alpha2 from me as well.  We have made some progress but there
is an awful lot of stuff left to get fixed.

Sounds like the overwhemling consensus is Alpha2 then.  Will run with it.
