Обсуждение: PostgreSQL 13 Release Timeline

Hi,

First, on behalf of the PostgreSQL 13 RMT, thank you everyone for your
hard work not only building all of the features that are going into
PostgreSQL 13, but for the diligence and work in stabilizing the
release. We have now reached the point of the release cycle where we can
start making decisions about GA (general availability).

Based on the current state and progress of the open items[1], the RMT
with consultation from the release team has decided to forgo a Beta 4
release. Instead, we propose the following schedule:

* PostgreSQL 13 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) will be released on September
17, 2020.

* In absence of any critical issues, PostgreSQL 13 will become generally
available on September 24, 2020.

The aim is to have all outstanding open items committed before RC1.
Please ensure everything is committed by September 16, 2020 AoE. We will
send out a reminder prior to that date.

We're very excited that we are in the final phase of the PostgreSQL 13
launch. Thank you again for making this possible.

Sincerely,

Alvaro, Peter, Jonathan

As a friendly reminder, RC1 is one week away. I also realized I made an
error in the commit date above for RC1. Sorry :( Corrected date below.

Please ensure you have all of your commits in by **September 13, 2020
AoE** so we can wrap RC1 and get it out the door.

Presuming RC1 is successful, commits for GA must be in by **September
20, 2020 AoE**.

Please try to close out open items[1] before RC1.

Thanks!

Jonathan

I'm not sure if there was a "release announcement draft" thread
(searching my folder didn't find one for GA, but it's also easily
possible I missed it): I'm wondering if the link for incremental sort
[1] should instead/also point to the examples in [2] which actually
explain what incremental sort does.

Actually, should the GUC page link there? There's not an obvious
anchor tag on the page (that I can tell) to use for such a link
though...

If it'd be better to split off this to a new thread, I can do that too.

Yes, there always is[1]

When researching it, I believe I chose the GUC because it was anchorable.

Probably, because it will trigger discussion ;)
