We are hopefully very nearly ready to release 1.1.5, which most notably provides a version that works with PostgreSQL 8.1. There are a few documentation matters still in progress as people notice things. The one disappointment thus far has been how few test reports we have seen thus far. The platforms spoken for, thus far, have been: 1. Debian/testing - IA-32 - with PostgreSQL 7.3.12, 8.0.5, 8.1.1 2. AIX 5.3 ML3 / PowerPC with GCC with PostgreSQL 8.1.1 3. FreeBSD with PostgreSQL 8.1.1 (with a pretty detailed failover test) Conspicuously absent from that list are such hardware platforms as AMD64, SPARC, and operating systems such as Solaris, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or other Linux distributions (e.g. - RHAT/Fedora, where Kerberos issues tend to arise, and SuSE). It doesn't seem to me that we need to have a fully multiplied matrix of all combinations of possible tests, thus... - Four major releases (7.3,7,4,8.0,8.1) of PostgreSQL multiplied by... - All the interesting commercial Unixes (AIX, HP/UX, whatever OSF/1 has been renamed to, Solaris) multiplied by some choices of CPU (e.g. Solaris/x86, Solaris/SPARC, Solaris/AMD64) - (Linux + FreeBSD + NetBSD + OpenBSD) * (IA-32 + AMD-64 + SPARC + MIPS + Alpha + S/390 + IA-64) possibly * (Debian + Fedora + ...) It seems to me that as long as various versions of PostgreSQL are covered, across the scope of the tests, that is probably good enough. But the list of tested platforms seems a bit sparse to me. Nonetheless, we need to release... I hear rumor that there ought to be a SuSE/AMD64 test report later today; methinks we need to release 1.1.5 tomorrow, so it's at least a bit before Christmas holidays tend to take people out. We may have to give the caveat "results unknown on Solaris", but that's where we may be...
