All, Please submit revisions and corrections in the next 48 hours, thanks: ============================== DATE: The first beta release of PostgreSQL version 9.0 is now available. Version 9.0 is the first version of PostgreSQL to inclue built-in binary database replication, consisting of two features, "Hot Standby" and "Streaming Replication". This new replication, as well as several other radical new features, will drive adoption of PostgreSQL by new users and in new types of applications. This release is a beta version. This means that it is expected to have bugs, issues, and missing documentation. 9.0 beta is being released so that our users will find those issues and help eliminate them in time for the final release. All PostgreSQL users are emphatically requested to download and test version 9.0 to help us achieve a faster and more trouble-free 9.0 release. In addition to the new replication, a number of new features will allow developers and DBAs to broaden their use of PostgreSQL, including: * Support for 64-bit Windows * Redesigned LISTEN/NOTIFY built-in event notifications * The DO() statement, allowing users to execute ad-hoc procedural statements * Conditional and Column Triggers * Numerous PL/Perl improvements * Uniqueness constraints for non-scalar data * Improved key-value data support The full list of over 200 changes is available in the release notes: Users interested in taking advantage of these new features should download and test porting their applications to PostgreSQL 9.0 beta now. Because of the many new major features, as well as overhauled internal code, in version 9.0, there are expected to be a number of backwards-compatibility issues. Source code, as well as binary installers for many platforms, is available from the PostgreSQL Web Site: * Source: * Windows Installer: * Binaries for other platforms: * Release Notes: * Participating in Testing: -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com
