It's PostgreSQL Beta Time Again   
Monday, August 29 2005 @ 10:56 PM EDT
Contributed by: glosser

The PostgreSQL team is looking for help beta testing the new release.

Now, after spending the past few weeks processing through outstanding patches applicable to 8.1, we now enter our beta testing period, where we need help from the community at large.

PostgreSQL 8.1 will bring in alot of fairly large features, including:

      - Improve concurrent access to the shared buffer cache
      - Add in-memory bitmaps which allows multiple indexes to be merged in
        a single query
      - Add two-phase commit
      - Create a new role system that replaces users and groups
      - Move /contrib/pgautovacuum into the main server
      - Add shared row level locks using SELECT ... FOR SHARE
      - many many others listed in the HISTORY file
