Open items

From
Bruce Momjian
Date:
Here are the open items.  The only big one left is the handling of a
foreign key problem we have had for a while.  We also have issues with
MSVC builds crashing and pg_config --pgxs on Win32 but they are being
actively discussed.  I also have a dblink patch on hold.

I think it is time to start looking at the finalizing stages.  I am
thinking I should run pgindent tonight, US Eastern time.  I am heading
to EuroOSCON in Amsterdam on Saturday night and return on Thursday.  We
should also start compiling the ports list.  Who is doing that?  Are the
manual pages ready to be built?  Has the interactive documentation been
scanned and merged into the SGML?  Are the error message translations
being worked on?  Completion date?

Oh, let me add that this release has gone very smoothly.  We are right
on schedule in release timing.  I sometimes think the beta period is not
as productive as the development period, but going through it, I am
always reminded how much more polished our final product is because of
the hard work we do during the beta period --- it isn't exciting, but it
is very valuable.

Note that when we moderate this we now hide away most of the comments
that may suggest improvements for the docs and only leave the ones that
are actually helpful in their own right visible. All of the garbage is
deleted now so there should be little wading through junk to do, just
reviewing which suggestions should be acted upon.

If someone wants access to these to review, please let me know.

Regards, Dave.
