Thread: Alpha2/Beta1
All: 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? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

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

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.

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

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. -- Peter Geoghegan

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

We have made some progress but there is an awful lot of stuff left to get fixed. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
All: Sounds like the overwhemling consensus is Alpha2 then. Will run with it. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
