    Joshua D. Drake <jd@commandprompt.com> — 2007-02-23T21:24:16Z

    Hello,
    
    5 weeks to feature freeze folks. Please provide updates including if you
    think you will have a patch submitted before feature freeze. Be
    realistic, if you can't make it -- say so.

    Gavin Sherry: Bitmap Indexes (on disk), possible basic Window functions
    Greg Stark: WITH/Recursive Queries?
    Andrei Kovalesvki: Some Win32 work with Magnus
    Magnus Hagander: VC++ support (thank goodness)
    Heikki Linnakangas: Vacuum for Bitmap Indexes, Group Index Tuples
    Oleg Bartunov: Tsearch2 in core
    Neil Conway: Patch Review (including enums), pg_fcache
    PeterE: XML
    ITAGAKI Takahiro: Dead space map, load distributed checkpoints
    Stephen Frost: Default permission per object/schema
    Tom Lane: Cost based functions, operator overhaul, Plan Invalidation?
    Simon Riggs: HOT ( you know he just is )
    Pavan Deolasee: HOT ( never met him )
    Teodor Sigaev: Tsearch2 in core (with Oleg)
    Jeff Davis: Synchronized scanning
    Henry Hotz: GSSAPI (with Magnus)
    Andrew Dunstan: Something with COPY? Andrew?
    David Fetter: Arrays of compound types
    
    Looking for updates on Updateable views. Anyone? Bueller?

    The only thing I can think of is to remove the support for ancient COPY 
    syntax from psql's \copy, as suggested here: 
    http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-02/msg01078.php
    
    That's hardly a feature - more a matter of tidying up.

    Uhm, I posted two weeks ago saying I had to shelve that temporarily. 
    
    On the other hand I've submitted a patch to reduce the storage overhead of
    varlenas under 128 bytes by 3-7 bytes each.

    Can someone pick this up? This would be the second time that this has
    been dropped. Anyone?

    Send me a patch against 8.2.3 and I'll pass it to the Sun benchmarking

    Afaik Bernd is working in this one and he is targetting 8.4
    
    Looks like we are doing redundant work here:
    http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Todo:WishlistFor83
    
    Where/how do you maintained your todo list Joshua? Would love to join 
    "forces" on this one .. especially since I send out emails to many of 
    the above noted people. If we both send emails to everybody they might 
    get ticked off ..

    I just took the replies from my 10 week email and merged them. I tried
    to use the wiki but got fed up with my login/edit privelages not working :)

    I am working on it with the target of 8.3. I am posting WIP patches
    since couple of weeks. One of the objectives of publishing WIP
    patches, even though they are not well tested (for correctness as
    well as performance) is to get early feedback on the design and
    code. It would really help if one or more of the community members
    look at the code  so that we don't have last minute gotchas.
    
    Thanks,

    Feature freeze is the end of March so I would say yes.

    You would need to talk to the jdbc folks about that I would guess. There
    development cycle is independent of .Org.

    The JDBC driver will release a new version at the same time as the server, 
    but we don't have nearly as strict rules about feature freeze/beta.  We 
    don't need multiple months of beta so as long as the patch isn't terribly 
    complicated we'll accept it close to the release.
