Thread: 9.4 docs current as of
9.4 beta docs are listed as "Current as of 2014-05-10". I'm assuming that's just a step we missed in the version stamping? Needs to go on a checklist? Should we backpatch a fix for that? -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

No, what that means is that nobody has looked at the commit logs since
then to see if the 9.4 release notes need any updates. Since we don't
release-note simple bug fixes in a branch before the .0 release,
9.4 isn't yet getting the same notes as the back branches; it requires
a scan of the commit logs with different criteria, ie look for feature
changes. And I didn't do that over the weekend (I barely got the
back-branch notes done :-().
It will get done at least once before 9.4.0, but I suspect that any
changes as a result of that will be pretty minor, so I'm not terribly
upset that it didn't happen for beta2.

I just did a "git log" on it and saw there were a number of updates in the relnotes themselves, didn't reflect on the fact that nobody had checked them against *other* updates to the tree. > It will get done at least once before 9.4.0, but I suspect that any > changes as a result of that will be pretty minor, so I'm not terribly > upset that it didn't happen for beta2. Nope, I agree. I just thought it meant something else... -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

I just thought it meant something else... I will update them in the next few weeks so we are ready for final. I normally would have done them before beta2 but was traveling. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. +
