That press FAQ page is often sadly amusing.
Back in Jan 2008 that same page stated that 8.3 "would" come out
in July 2007:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-advocacy/2008-01/msg00235.php
But that's not nearly as sad as the Chinese FAQs that state that
the latest version of Postgres is 8.2.1 or 8.2.3 depending on
whether you prefer traditional or simplified writing styles.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_chinese_simp.htmlhttp://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_chinese_trad.html
And for german speakers, their newest is 8.2.5
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_german.html
Basically for all the languages you get a different "lateset"
release.
Surely these FAQ entries are doing more harm than good.
Can we please just update all of these to link to some page
where the actual latest version is instead; and replace the
forward-looking expectations with something that is less
misleading?
