Release of Postgres-XC 1.0.1 - Mailing list pgsql-announce

Hi all,

Postgres-XC, read/write-scalable multi-master symmetric cluster based on PostgreSQL, version 1.0.1 has been released today.

This minor release is based on the latest PostgreSQL 9.1.5+alpha, meaning that all the patches in PostgreSQL 9.1 stable branch have been merged up to commit d10ddf4 (3rd of September 2012).

You can download the source tarball directly from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/postgres-xc/files/latest/download
Like PostgreSQL, this tarball contains all the HTML and man documentation.

http://postgres-xc.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/.

Around 20 bugs have been fixed since 1.0.0, with in particular those fixes:
- Applications like pgadmin had problems to connect to Postgres-XC server.
- Drop of sequence was not managed correctly when its database was dropped.
- etc.
You can find all the details in the release notes here:
http://postgres-xc.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/release-xc-1-0-1.html

The project can be followed on Source Forge: http://postgres-xc.sourceforge.net/.
And a couple of GIT repositories are used for development:
- SourceForge: http://postgres-xc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=postgres-xc/postgres-xc;a=summary
- Github: https://github.com/postgres-xc/postgres-xc
- Twitter: @PostgresXCBot, bot giving tweets about the commits in Postgres-XC GIT repository

The project members are currently working hard on the next version of Postgres-XC that will include those features:
- triggers (being implemented)
- Merge with PostgreSQL 9.2 code (already committed)
- RETURNING, WHERE CURRENT OF (being implemented)
- Insure consistency of utilities that cannot run inside transaction block (ex: CREATE DATABASE safely insured in multiple nodes, being implemented)
- Change table distribution type with ALTER TABLE (already committed)
- Support for cursors (already committed)
- Stuff related to node addition and deletion
- and other things...

The project is under the same license as PostgreSQL, and is managed under a single entity called "Postgres-XC Development Group".
