With today being June 16th, we are half-way into the one month extension
of the feature freeze, now scheduled for July 1.  Here is the status on
the various outstanding features:

	Tablespaces -  This has been in the queue since June 1 and should have
	been reviewed and applied by now.  We must give this first priority.
	
	Win32 -   We continue to complete TODO items for this port.  It should
	be all done by July 1.
	
	PITR -  Simon has been working on PITR consistently.   He has recently
	posted a patch we need to review and apply.  We also need to discuss how
	to recover by bringing the WAL files back without exceeding available
	disk space.
	
	Nested Transactions -  Alvaro has continued working continually on this.
	I believe the only two outstanding items are the use of phantom xids and
	guc settings.  This patch needs to be reviewed and we need to determine
	if there are any other missing pieces needed for nested transactions.
	
	pg_autovacuum started by postmaster -  Waiting on final patch from
	Matthew O'Connor.

The delay in applying patches has been difficult for some patchers
because they have had to track changes in the source tree.  Fortunately,
there has not been a lot of new patches recently.  Another problem is
that the longer we delay, the less time people will have to make
adjustments to the patch by July 1.

I have been able to apply small patches, but some of these patches are
so complex I can't be sure they are OK.  I have asked Tom to review
these at his earliest convenience, but I need others to review them too.

I don't want to be dealing with these issues on June 29th!  I would like
to see some additional analysis of each of these patches by the weekend.
They are in the patch queue:

Would there happen to be a newer patch for tablespaces than
tablespace-20.diff.gz?  This one has a couple of rejects against today's
CVS head.

Thanks,
Mark

No.  We will have to merge those in. I am reviewing the patch right now
and will have some comments for Gavin.  I think Tom is looking it over
too.
