Thread: Win32 port - current status?

Hi all,

just wondering if the guys involved in the Win32 port could give a quick
update?

I'm just (one of the many?) hanging out for this, to justify continued use
of Postgres to the powers that be. Seems like there has been no word on this
for a couple weeks, and I'm not even sure whether or not it has made/will
make it into 7.4? Perhaps I've missed a crucial message somewhere...

All the best,
Claudio

I certainly can't comment on it's current status, but it most certainly
will not be in 7.4.

I too am very excited by the port, but it just didn't get done in time
for 7.4, I hope it makes it into 7.5 devel early on in the cycle.

Well, I was going to post a link to the message in the archives, but it 
appears the archives aren't getting updated -- last good message is from 
Philip Yarra at about 1400 on 10 July. Here's a copy of what Bruce 
posted to HACKERS on July 10 later in the day:
  "As some of you may already have realized, the Win32 port and   point-in-time recovery (PITR) will not be in the 7.4
release.I was   working on Win32, but ran out of time.  Jan did not help.  Patrick   was working on PITR, but ran out
oftime too, and J.R might be   helping him."
 
   My new plan is for us to work on Win32 and PITR during the 7.4 beta.   If they can be completed in time for 7.4
final,we will add those   features and push out a 7.5 release soon afterwards.
 
   This give us a nice short-term deadline to shoot for again."
