Major changes in this release:
|
||||
This release adds many improvements to commands and database
|
||||
facilities that were requested by users. Rather than add a
|
||||
few large new features, this release makes many features from
|
||||
previous releases easier to use. For example, it is now much
|
||||
easier to create standby point-in-time-recovery (PITR) servers.
|
||||
Many performance bottlenecks have been eliminated, allowing
|
||||
more functionality to be enabled by default. Various additions
|
||||
will make porting from other databases easier. The changes
|
||||
in this release continue the <productname>PostgreSQL</>
|
||||
tradition of not only being the most advanced open source
|
||||
database, but also the easiest to use.
