PostgreSQL status report
Version 6.5 has been a very stable release. The developers were
twiddling their thumbs waiting serious bug reports that never occurred.
We had a few bugs, but they were mostly rare with easy workarounds.
We are packaging version 6.5.1 to be released next week. Announcements
of the release will be made in the usual places. We believe this will
be the final 6.5.* release. Then, we will start on the next major
version, to be released in 3-5 months.
Our web site has been overhauled in the past few weeks. I am sure you
will like the new layout. The FAQ and TODO list have been overhauled
too. The new versions appear on our web site. In fact, the TODO list
is more of a bugs/missing_features/TODO list.
An article on the history of PostgreSQL development was written. You
can view it on our web site, from the main home page(www.postgresql.org)
or on our FAQ & Documenation page. It also appears in the July issue of
Daemon News(www.daemonnews.org).

Are you sure it is not something on your end. It has been up for almost
a month, and this is the first problem report I have heard.

Works fine in my VMware/Windows98 running ie5. The only thing is the
main page graphic is messed up (layout problem - all links work).
Netscape 4.6 running on the Linux host does not have this problem.
I'd suggest upgrading to ie 5.0. It is the 'pick of the month' ya know.

some of the mirrors don't work:
http://sunsite.auc.dk/postgresql/
http://www.pyrenet.fr/postgresql.org/html/
http://www.postgresql.org/
not sure about http://www.postgresql.org/, but for the first two, the image references need to be relative.

Works in IE4 SP2...same problem with the main graphic and the menu text
(looks like your table column width is too narrow for the graphic)
Javascript had some funny bugs in earlier versions of IE4. Might try
patching to SP2. (Although I try to write my apps to work on plain
unpatched IE4 since most people have not patched :)

Another 'lost' mirror is http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/www.postgresql.org/
the server is currently down for major repairs but the mirror seems to have
been discontinued long before that (you could still get a page but it was
the 'pre-blue period' mostly yellow elephant page).
Is it lost forever?
regards,
Stuart.

Indeed and that is the UK mirror I now use. But the sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk
mirror most definitely used to exist and I wondered if anybody knew why
(if?) it had been terminally discontinued.
It's a very useful mirror for all UK academics because it's on the JANET
super-fast network. It may be just a question of writing to someone
(webmaster) there and asking to go on mirroring but I though I'd first ask
if anyone had any relevant info.
The mirrors and sites pages on http://www.postgresql.org/ are updated

Stuart.

Dear PostgreSQL team,
Please, could you make the PostgreSQL announcement list moderated?
IMHO it should be for announcements only, not for any discussions.
I am pretty annoyed of all the discussions and product database testings
etc. which tend to continue in the announcement list from time to time
and flood my mailbox with off-topic junk. I don't want to un-subscribe
because I'd like to be informed of the important developments in the
PostgreSQL area, as it is clearly one of the best free SQL database
engines available today.
[ I am not a member of pgsql-general. Just writing to it as there
does not seem to be announce-owner/owner-announce address. ]

Yes, but this is inconvenient when you are automatically redirected
to a non-existing mirror. I've been unable to locate a postgres
mirror for last few weeks (I can't remember the other mirrors, so I'm
a little lost).
Yours faithfully.
