1.19) What is the timeline for the next major - PostgreSQL release?

- -

The development schedule for the 8.3 release is:

-
    -
  • March 1, 2007 - Initial community review of all major feature patches
    • -
  • April 1, 2007 - Feature freeze, all patches must be submitted for review and application
    • -
  • mid-May, 2007 - All patches applied, beta testing begins
    • -
  • July, 2007 - Release of 8.3.0
    • -
- -

Patches that appear after appropriate dates are typically - not applied but held for the next major release.

- -

1.20) Why haven't you replaced CVS with SVN, Git, - Monotone, VSS, <insert your favorite SCMS here>?

- -

Currently the core developers see no SCMS that will provide - enough benefit to outwiegh the pain involved in moving to a new - SCMS. Typical problems that must be addressed by any new SCMS include:

-
    -
  • Run natively on all of our supported platforms.
    • -
  • Integrate into the Buildfarm.
    • -
  • Import our entire CVS Repository while preserving complete history.
    • -
  • Allow for anonymous checkouts.
    • -
-

Currently there is no intention for switching to a new SCMS until at least the - end of the 8.4 development cycle sometime in late 2008. For more information - please refer to the mailing list archives.
