Thanks to all the testing, feedback and bug reports the community has performed with the current betas, we now have our fourth beta of 8.4. Due to continued testing by our community we have found performance improvements, fixed bugs in PLperl and XML handling. We have also made many documentation improvements, particularly in the Partitioning section. We hope that this will be our last beta before release candidate so please download and continue testing. Testing is the only way to help ensure that any issues you find will be resolved. As always, our community is the first line of defense to help us find any "corner cases" of possible issues.
