announces the availability of our most eagerly awaited release.
PostgreSQL 9.0 includes built-in, binary replication, and over a dozen
other major features which will appeal to everyone from web developers
to database hackers.
9.0 includes more major features than any release before it, including:
* Hot standby
* Streaming replication
* In-place upgrades
* 64-bit Windows builds
* Easy mass permissions management
* Anonymous blocks and named parameter calls for stored procedures
* New windowing functions and ordered aggregates
... and many more. For details on the over 200 additions and
improvements in this version, developed by over a hundred contributors,
please see the release notes.
"These kinds of feature additions continue to make a strong case for why
mission-critical technology tasks can continue to depend on the power,
flexibility and robustness of PostgreSQL,â said Afilias CTO Ram Mohan.

PR: 150430, Add dtrace
I think we're a little bit over-conservative by keeping the
default PostgreSQL version on 7.4. Let's move it to 8.1.

allow OPTIONS to be able to influence dependencies. This is still
experimental [1]
* Teach bsd.gcc.mk about gfortran [2]
* Remove the outdated emulators/linux_base; the new default has been
linux_base-fc4. This will allow the outdated port to be removed [3]
* Add USE_FIREBIRD macros to bsd.database.mk [4]

forms are retained for compatibility but deprecated [1]

* Remove some whitespace [2]
* Add USE_SCONS and bsd.scons.mk for the Python-based SCons build system [3]
* Fix USE_LDCONFIG with non-default PREFIX [4]

* Update default PHP version from 4 to 5 [2]
* Update default LDAP version from 2.2 to 2.3 [3]
* Add support for LDAP version 2.4 [4]
* Update default linux_base from '8' (Redhat 8) to 'fc4' (Fedora Core 4) [5]
* Switch default Linux X implementation from XFree86 to xorg to track the
above [5]
* Deprecate INSTALLS_SHLIB and replace it by USE_LDCONFIG. If set to "yes",
the old behavior is preserved. Otherwise, it can be set to a list of
directories to be added to ${PREFIX}/libdata/ldconfig/${UNIQUENAME}.
Note that this directory is used by ldconfig startup script, it is meant
to replace ldconfig scripts installed by some ports as (sometimes
000.${UNQUENAME}.sh) [6]
* Adds USE_LDCONFIG32 which is like USE_LDCONFIG but the target file is
${PREFIX}/libdata/ldconfig32/${UNIQUENAME} instead. (Note: this should
only be used on 64-bit architectures) [6]
* Set the default LANG for tr to be C to avoid some build problems [7]
* Include bsd.java.mk in both pre and post sections [8]
* Get rid of remnants of FORCE_PKG_REGISTER [9]
* Always print options with make showconfig [10]
