I am not sure if Tom shared yet, but we are planning to package 9.3
beta1 on April 29, with a release on May 2. Those dates might change,
but that is the current plan. I have completed a draft 9.3 release
notes, which you can view here:
http://momjian.us/pgsql_docs/release-9-3.html
I will be working on polishing them for the next ten days, so any
feedback, patches, or commits are welcome. I still need to add lots of
SGML markup.
Some suggestions, perhaps just based on my preference for verbosity:
<para>
Add cache of local locks (Jeff Janes)
</para>
<para>
This speeds lock release at statement completion in transactions
that hold many locks; it is particularly useful for pg_dump.
</para>
I think this is equally important for restoration of dumps, if the restoration is run all in one transaction. (Making the dump and restoring it have similar locking and unlocking patterns)
<para>
Split pgstat file in per-database and global files (Tomas Vondra)
</para>
<para>
This reduces the statistics management read and write overhead.
</para>
Should be "split pgstat file into", not "split pgstat file in"
Also, should it mention that the overhead reduction is particular to when a cluster has a large number of databases?
Cheers,
Jeff
