Well, the problem is that everybody's going to have their own ideas on what is most important. A release announcement that said partitioning, logical replication, and improved parallel query could sound dreadfully boring to someone who cares about SCRAM, better query planning when RLS is in use, and the default configuration allowing replication. I don't suppose there's a whole lot we can do about that - we can't list everything - but we're blessed (or cursed) with needing to promote a release that really has a ton of great stuff in it, and we don't want people to tune out because the stuff they care about isn't listed. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-advocacy mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-advocacy
