Hi everyone,
Thinking about the numbering further.
Would it be cool to decide on the version numbering of our next release
like this:
+ If it looks like we'll have Win32 and/or PITR recovery in time for
the next release, we call it PostgreSQL 8.0
+ If not, we call it 7.4
Win32 and PITR are great big features that will take us a long way to
the goal of Enterprise suitability. They're worth making some specific
marketing/branding efforts about and making a big fuss, that why I'd
like to see them in an 8.0 release.
Sound feasible?
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
