Thread: 7.3.1 documentation updates
I have not been aggressive about backpatching documentation improvements into 7.3.1. Is that something I should check? As I remember, we didn't update the official docs for minor releases. Is that still true? -- 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, Pennsylvania19073

The idocs were never updated to current version until around the .1 release since there were usually discrepencies and it was a pain to update them.

I meant we don't create new doc tarballs for minor releases.

If someone's willing to do the work of regenerating the doc tarballs,
I think it would be a real good idea to update them for minor releases.
Peter, are you volunteering for that?
I will take the blame for the lack of advance notice of this release.
core had discussed it over the weekend, and agreed at my suggestion to
plan a Wednesday release. We should have let -hackers know of the plan,
and in fact I intended to do that but forgot. Mea culpa.

They are being updated, they have been for quite a while, and there's no one volunteering because it's done rather automatically. (The 7.3.1 "preview" from the other day contained freshly built documentation, and I didn't have anything to do with it.) -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
