I'm the author of the Smalltalk PostgreSQL driver, and I'd like to make sure that support for the new protocol is available as soon as possible. Where will the new protocol be documented (& will documentation precede coding?)? At what point should I start making dev-builds of PostgreSQL to test out the new protocol? (A pointer to the docs on how to do that would be nice too). Many thanks, Bruce
