Thread: Heads up: upcoming back-branch re-releases
Just FYI, the core committee has agreed we need re-releases to fix the
locale environment issue and other recent bug fixes. Current thought is
to wrap tarballs tomorrow (Thursday) evening, North American eastern
time, with public announcement scheduled for Sunday evening or Monday.
The longer-than-usual interval is because Dave Page and the other
Windows installer team members need a bit of extra time to prepare the
Windows version.
Any last-minute issues out there?
regards, tom lane
