PostgreSQL Weekly News - December 11 2005
8.1.1, 8.0.5, 7.4.10 and 7.3.12 are coming out this week. Be sure to upgrade to at least the latest minor revision.
Commandprompt has hired Devrim Gunduz to do community work. Kudos to both.
There were lively discussions on caching and the lock manager. Per the latter discussion, Tom Lane committed a patch to -HEAD that divides the lock manager's state into 16 partitions, although the performance improvement past 4 needs further investigation.
