I agree, a hearty "Good Job!". Now for the question we're all dieing to know, umm, will this be included in the 7.3 release?

I can't speak for the core developers, but IMHO the chances of this being included in 7.3 are basically zero. Cheers, Neil -- Neil Conway <neilc@samurai.com> || PGP Key ID: DB3C29FC

(For the record > I'm not a core developer either, but I think this is a fair assumption) Yes, zero chance for 7.3. However, we have point-in-time recovery and a Win32 port all almost ready for application, so if we can get those three in, we can shoot for a 7.4 fairly quickly. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

We are resisting a delay to get those all in, but I think a quick release after 7.3 is very possible. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

I note that, if you're right, the old six-months-and-release plan
would be back on track. So we even get meta-level good news here :)
