Palle Girgensohn c6dcf78107 PostgreSQL 9.0 is here! The PostgreSQL Global Development Group
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,” said Afilias CTO Ram Mohan.

This is the port for all stuff that comes in the contrib subtree of
the postgresql distribution. This subtree contains porting tools,
analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core
PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or
are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does
not preclude their usefulness.
Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the
module. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators,
or types. After you have installed the files you need to register the
new entities in the database system by running the commands in the
supplied .sql file. For example,
$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql
The .sql files are installed into /usr/local/share/postgresql/contrib
For more information, please see
/usr/local/share/doc/postgresql/contrib/README*
This software is part of the standard PostgreSQL distribution.
