All,
Well, it's that time again. In the next couple of days, we'll be starting to
draft the 8.2 release. Here's what needs to be done to draft the release:
THEME: Bruce has suggested "usability" since this is a bit of a
"consolidation" release, without a lot of big-name features. I'm not sure
about that but I don't have a counter-suggestion. Ideas?
QUOTES: We need at least two quotes, preferably including one about the theme
and one which highlights something cool in 8.2. I can probably get one from
Sun or a partner. Suggestions?
FEATURES: AFAICT, there are only four big-name features worth mentioning in
the release:
on-disk bitmap indexes
d-trace / GMF
stored procedure debugging
standby databases (new PITR)
Anyone know anything else? Performance (sort, joins, etc) improvements would
be worth mentioning but *only* if someone can attach a figure to them.
Based on the suggestions on this list, I'll throw a draft onto pgFoundry CVS
and we can take it from there.
