Back in Jan 2008 that same page stated that 8.3 "would" come out in July 2007: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-advocacy/2008-01/msg00235.php But that's not nearly as sad as the Chinese FAQs that state that the latest version of Postgres is 8.2.1 or 8.2.3 depending on whether you prefer traditional or simplified writing styles. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_chinese_simp.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_chinese_trad.html And for german speakers, their newest is 8.2.5 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_german.html Basically for all the languages you get a different "lateset" release. Surely these FAQ entries are doing more harm than good. Can we please just update all of these to link to some page where the actual latest version is instead; and replace the forward-looking expectations with something that is less misleading? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
