8.4 backpatching
Hello,
This question mainly addressed to PG core developers.
Today in "PostgreSQL 9.0 Beta4 Released" article on postgresql.org I
read (amongst other things):
"Allow full SSL certificate verification when host and hostaddr are both
specified, backpatched to 8.4;"
There were similar notes about backpatching 8.4, when 9.0 Beta3 was
released.
So, "backpatched to 8.4" - does it mean that we can expect new 8.4
release (8.4.5) that will include these patches in near future?
And if yes, then - when? Will it coinside with 9.0 release?
Thank you in advance,
Igor Neyman

8.4.5 will be released whenever it seems appropriate (ie, whenever the
number and severity of accumulated bugs justifies it). We don't
normally synchronize back-branch updates with release of a new major
version --- it'd be a poor strategy both in terms of managing PR and
likely load on the project's servers.
