Обсуждение: 8.4 backpatching
Hello,
This question mainly addressed to PG core developers.
Today in "PostgreSQL 9.0 Beta4 Released" article on postgresql.org I read (amongst other things):
"Allow full SSL certificate verification when host and hostaddr are both specified, backpatched to 8.4;"
There were similar notes about backpatching 8.4, when 9.0 Beta3 was released.
So, "backpatched to 8.4" - does it mean that we can expect new 8.4 release (8.4.5) that will include these patches in near future?
And if yes, then - when? Will it coinside with 9.0 release?
Thank you in advance,
Igor Neyman

Will it coinside with 9.0 release? 8.4.5 will be released whenever it seems appropriate (ie, whenever the number and severity of accumulated bugs justifies it). We don't normally synchronize back-branch updates with release of a new major version --- it'd be a poor strategy both in terms of managing PR and likely load on the project's servers. regards, tom lane
