The PostgreSQL Global Development Group released the long-awaited
first beta of version 8.3. Thanks to an unprecedented number of new
patches, this version introduces more new and improved features than any
previous one. Of course, more new features means that 8.3 needs more
user testing than any previous version, so we're counting on you to
download it and test it with development versions of your applications.
Among the features in the new version are:
-- Greatly improved performance consistency, through HOT, Load Distributed Checkpoint,
JIT bgwriter, Asynchronous Commit, and other features.
-- TSearch2 full text search integrated into the core code with improved syntax and ease of adding custom dictionaries.
-- SQL:XML syntax.
-- Logging to database-loadable CSV files.
-- Automated rebuilding of cached plans.
-- ENUMs, UUIDs and arrays of complex types.
-- GSSAPI and SSPI authentication support.
See the 8.3 Beta Page (http://www.postgresql.org/developer/beta) formore information on downloads, testing, documentation, and reportingbugs.
