Folks,

Thank you, everyone, for you help with the press release.   The only
thing we're waiting on, I believe, is a quote from Tom Lane on the new
release.   Last-minute copy edits, please, people?

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/Pressrelease73

And can anyone persuade Tom to cough up a quote in the next 36 hours?

-Josh Berkus

FYI. I just tried to add a comment to the page, and I got <hr><b> rather
than the formatting of a hard-return and bolding. (i.e. "<hr><b>2002/11/18
10:22 EST (via web):</b><br>" appeared rather than it formatted.

I'll also ask what I asked there, here:
Are there any new replication/backup features?

I wasn't trying to use any formatting. The CGI did that all on it's own...
It put my comments into the PRE block of the annoucement. Maybe moving the
closing PRE tag is all it will need?

perhaps comments don't allow html formatting? Justin, can you confirm
this?

There haven't been major changes in these areas. There are some
commercial companies that are offering replication solutions you can
look at.  I also know Point In Time Recovery is planned for version 7.4
as well.

BTW - A complete list of changes is included in the source distributions
if you want to check for something specific.

Hi guys,

It's kind of a bit more tricky than that.

The Press Release for PG 7.3 page is being worked on as plain text, and
is stored in Zwiki (the software we're using) that way.  HTML inside it
doesn't work.  :-/

It turns out that the "Add Comments" system automatically adds the
needed seperator, but does so in HTML without checking if that's
appropriate.  Have asked the Zwiki guys if they'd consider altering it,
and think it's been added to the "wishlist" area of their bugs tracker,
but that's it.

If anyone here is good with Python, that could be fixed though.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
