Thread: Feature freeze approaching
We have a feature freeze scheduled for either June 1 or whenever a major feature is completed, whichever is last. For Win32, we have open: fsync (Tom)relative installs (Bruce)timezone (Magnus) There is a company that wants to fund some PostgreSQL features but I told them it is unlikely there features can be added in 7.5 and they should target 7.6 at this point. -- 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
Just to give some more incentive to work at June 1st ... Native Win32 would be *really* nice to showcase at OSCON in July, if we could pull off a relatively clean/strong beta period ...

I thought it was done. >Certainly we pass the regression tests. Yes. I am working on two things here: 1) Replacing the TZ library for Unix as well, so we have the same code. For one thing, it will be much better tested that way. This part is pretty much done. This will also allow some changes to the APIs to get rid of a lot of workarounds currently in the code (for example, tzset() by default does not let the caller know if a valid timezone was specified, it just sets it to GMT if an invalid one was. The code I have now returns an error directly). 2) Pick upt he default OS timezone. This still need a little bit more work. But the code as it stands on Win32 will give you GMT on startup unless you specify a TZ in postgresql.conf. On Unix, it goes with the OS timezone. I expect to be done with this not too long from now, though. //Magnus

I'd better test that on AIX where they like to use "CUT0" as the
default timezone instead of UTC or GMT.
We ran into "some entertainment" when we first installed on AIX
because of that; PG code that would normally properly interpret a UNIX
timestamp threw up when it got the "CUT" zone...
