Thread: 8.3

8.3

From

I realise that (i) this is something of a FAQ, and (ii) the definitive
answer is "When it's ready", but when (roughly) is 8.3 planned to be
released?

I'm planning a server upgrade in the next 4-5 months, and a ballpark
guess would be helpful.

Thanks,

Ray.

I'm not one of the developers, but I found the following information
here http://www.postgresql.org/developer/roadmap:

The next release of PostgreSQL is planned to be the 8.3 release. As of
April 1, 2007, the code for 8.3 is in feature freeze. All patches have
been submitted for review and application. Patches submitted after this
date will be held for a later version. The remaining rough timeline for
the development of 8.3 is:

     * mid-May, 2007 - All patches applied, beta testing begins
     * July, 2007 - Release of 8.3.0

I'm not one of the developers either but this was posted to the
hackers list just today:

We currently have processed 15 of the 40 patches in the patch queue
during our two months in feature freeze.  Based on that progress, I
estimate we will enter beta in September.

According to a recent post on -hackers by Bruce, at the current rate
of patch review, beta won't happen before Sept.

I would like to submit that, that is likely not true at all. We are now
making progress on patches. Although I could see, possibly (hopefully
not), us not releasing until Sept.

Possibly.  I was just pointing out that the last estimate any
developer gave was "beta in Sept."
