vacuum updated...

Almight Webmaster(s)...please propogate the news!!

We are now officially in Beta.

Release date is officially set for May 1st, no new features are to be
added, only bug fixes from here until then.  This time through, I'm going
to be really really harsh...I pull CVS access to anyone adding new
features :)  We're already 2 months late on this release, and I'd like for
it to be *smoother* then the last one :)

On May 1st, v6.5 will be tag'd so that work can resume...

Vadim/Bruce...enjoy your holidays and look forward to seeing you both back
:)

I have some patches contributed by a user corresponding to one of our
TODO list:

* Add version number in startup banners for psql and postmaster

(actually the patches only add banners to psql, not to postmaster)

Also these include tiny  fixes to psql. Do I have any chance to apply
them for 6.5beta?

How will this affect user scripts that use psql?

Nothing except new option "-E" which shows actual queries issued by
some \ commands (Example session follows). Sorry, I forgot to mention
about it. I believe this will greatly reduce beginners questions: "How
can I list tables in my database?":-)

Sounds and looks reasonable...as it doesn't affect the backend at all,
please go for it :)
