Thread: Updates for 7.2 INSTALL file
Hi all,
With the INSTALL file, do we change the references from 7.1 to 7.2 now
or wait until later? (Not counting the "Supported Platforms" bit)
Found three instances where 7.1 should be 7.2, not sure about the one
which mentions that pg_dumpall of 7.1 shouldn't be used on older
versions of the database.
Have generated a diff in case that's the easiest way for the change to
be applied.
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

The internal data storage format changes with new releases of PostgreSQL.
Therefore, if you are upgrading an existing installation that does not have

(Not counting the "Supported Platforms" bit) The INSTALL file is automatically generated from DocBook sources. The DocBook sources reference the current version number as a macro which is currently set to 7.2, so the answer is "no". However, the INSTALL file should be regenerated before release (there have been other changes as well). But there hasn't been a release yet while I write this. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter
