The release notes contain the significant changes in each
|
|
|
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</> release, with major features and migration
|
|
|
|
issues listed at the top. The release notes do not contain changes
|
|
|
|
that affect only a few users or changes that are internal and therefore not
|
|
|
|
user-visible. For example, the optimizer is improved in almost every
|
|
|
|
release, but the improvements are usually observed by users as simply
|
|
|
|
faster queries.

The name appearing next to each item represents the major developer for
|
|
|
|
that item. Of course all changes involve community discussion and patch
|
2008-01-03 22:35:25 +01:00
|
|
|
review, so each item is truly a community effort.

To add a new major-release series, add an entry here and in filelist.sgml.
|
|
|
|
Follow the naming convention, or you'll confuse generate_history.pl.

The reason for splitting the release notes this way is so that appropriate
|
|
|
|
subsets can easily be copied into back branches.
