Thread: BUG #1388: documentation/announcement suggestion

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1388
Logged by:          Holger Klawitt
Email address:      lists@klawitter.de
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.0
Operating system:   all
Description:        documentation/announcement suggestion
Details:

There is no (at least no apparent) link
to the ChangeLog for the most recent version
of postgres in neither the announcements nor in the
news nor in the download section (at top level).

I'd think that the ChangeLog is of more interest than the list of supported
platforms - imagine how often someone wants to look at either :-)

Regards!

For most people I expect the release notes are more useful than the change
log. You can see the release notes in the development copy of the web
documentation (http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/release.html).

Thanks for your reply!

The only problem with that page is that it is not mentioning changes betwee=
n=20
release candidates...

Anyway, my main point was that the announcement mentions the list of suppor=
ted=20
platforms but lacks (a link to) the list of new features.
