Hello All,
When is the release date for Postgres 8.5?
Never.

why the major jump ? Is there a quantum leap in functionality, or
performance, or internal architecture ?

AFAIR, it was stated if Hot Standby AND Streaming Replication hit the
tree, the release number would go to 9.0.
Yeah. The question of "when do we call it 9.0" has come up multiple
times over the past few release cycles, and "when we get built-in
replication" has always been one of the more popular answers. If HS+SR
aren't enough to justify a major version bump, I'm not sure what would be.
The other bit of rationale for this is that HS+SR are likely to induce a
certain amount of, um, instability. Labeling the release with a dot-oh
version number will help to set people's expectations about that. For
comparison's sake, one of the main reasons for calling 8.0 8.0 was the
native Windows port, and it certainly took a while for that to settle
down.

It's just the next version number.

I screwed up the cut/paste.

And note that by taking place in the alpha testing, one can help get
pgsql out the door that much faster. Use it in a staging / QA /
testing environment that you can use to punish it to see if it breaks
and report in the bugs.
