DRAFT BETA 2 ANNOUNCEMENT
13:00 UTC Monday June 13
The second beta release of PostgreSQL 9.1 is now available. This beta
fixes several issues reported with 9.1 beta 1. All users should help
the project by downloading and testing PostgreSQL 9.1 beta 2 as soon as
they can.
Many users have already helped us by testing Beta 1 and reporting issues
they encountered with it. The most significant of these issues was an
issue with timezones which caused Windows versions of PostgreSQL to
segfault if certain built-in functions were called.
Among the other issues fixed in the beta2 release are:
* Numerous issues related to per-column collations
* Numerous issues related to Serializable Snapshot Isolation
* Fixes to new pg_ctl modes
* Making pg_upgrade work with all new 9.1 features
* Fix ability to build PostgreSQL under MSVC
* Documentation additions and improvements
* Translation updates
If you tested 9.1 features earlier and reported bugs with Beta 1 or
earlier alphas, please download Beta 2 and test that these issues are
resolved. Users who are able to help with testing version 9.1 should
please read the Beta Testing HOWTO:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/HowToBetaTest
Since this is a beta version, it is not considered ready for production
use. However, the list of features and the APIs is now stable, so
application developers can begin developing applications against 9.1.
This beta may be followed by more beta releases and one or more release
candidates before final release.
This beta is being released in source form and in binary form for
Windows. Binaries for other operating systems may follow in the next
couple weeks.
