PostgreSQL v6.4 BETA2...
Is now available, based on the source tree as of ~3am on Oct 15th.
With this BETA, the source code is frozen...there is *absolutely* no
changes to be made except that which is required to fix a bug that
pertains to the building and/or running on a particular platform, or to
fix a crucial bug.
If any BETA can stand, on its own, for 1 week, without a change being
required to the source code (docs don't count in this), then it will
become the released version.
Again, unless it is a *crucial* fix, please withhold all patches until
after we get this released and out to the public...

What about the inet stuff. I'm just waiting for Paul's inet_cidr*
functions to test and submit the final stuff. As it stand it will
crash the backend if you use it. I guess that makes it a bug fix,
right?
I'll submit the builtins.h changes in the meantime. Perhaps I can
cobble up my own version of the inet_cidr* functions at least to
be able to test my functions.

The problem is probably that the functions incorrectly return text *
but use it like char *. text * is a varlena
e.g. text *inet_netmask in inet.c
eighter must be char *inet_netmask or correctly use macros VARDATA and VARSIZE

But of course :) Anything that affects the backend, especially
something that can relatively easily reproduce a crash, is a definite bug
that needs to be fixed...

Yes, Bruce explained the change but I don't want to submit patches now
until the other functions have been added and I can test the module.

I like your thinking.
I'll submit the builtins.h changes in the meantime. Perhaps I can

Just wait and submit the whole thing. It is more likely to work in that
case.
Yes, I think that will have to be slipped in. Hope Marc agrees.

No, they are missing sections as we wait for additional inet functions.

Sure. I meant that I would cobble up a rough approximation of the
functions locally just so I could test my stuff. I'm still waiting
for Paul to build the real ones.
