We are pleased to have a second release candidate for Slony-I 1.2... See the announcement at <http://slony.info/>; it shows URLs for both the source tarball and for pre-built documentation. <http://pgfoundry.org/frs/download.php/1012/slony1-1.2.0-rc2.tar.bz2> Changes since RC1 include: * Generates partial indexes on demand on sl_log_N tables * Fix 8.2 problem - need to have connections set standard_conforming_strings = off * Properly declare 7.3 to be unsupported in slonik * slony1-funcs.sql had a CONTINUE statement only supported in PG 8.0+ * Fixes to RPM specs * Additional error checking in log shipping code * Documentation answering "When is it OK to kill off slons???" * Added to documentation lists of most error messages that can be generated, along with why they might happen I have since added a test that exercises inheritance, which evidently works fine... We have noticed two further issues thus far: - There was a minor incompatibility with 8.2; our #includes didn't include all required objects. If you are trying to run this on 8.2, see the following (tiny!) patch: <http://gborg.postgresql.org/pipermail/slony1-commit/2006-August/001107.html> This seems trivial enough that it wouldn't seem to me to warrant an RC3 in and of itself... - *Stefan Kaltenbrunner aka "mastermind" has been* experiencing problems trying to compile Slony-I on Windows; **** he's hitting issues at ./configure time. If others with experience with this can visit IRC (irc.freenode.net, channel #slony), that might be helpful. Windows does have its peculiarities, so perhaps there needs to be more documentation on how the build process works... It's not evident whether there are new Windows issues, or whether the "struggle" is one inherent to the platform.
