No, I don't think we should. We should list supported versions only. And check_postgres could be advised to throw a warning at least if you're running an unsupported version ;) -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Is it possible to add all (7.3+) versions to versions.rss, but show only top 5 versions?

It would be 7.4+ and even that, we need to put that under a different category... Something like: Old versions you shouldn't use: 8.0 7.4 Joshua D.

We certainly don't want 7.3 in there - that's not supported at all. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
