Are you going to insert the SetQuerySnapshot between conmmands in a plpgsql
function ?

Is the 'magic_tablespace' variable going to be there?

Likely not :-( ... I've just found about three issues I need to fix,
plus there's the commit-xlog-record-overflow thing ... the pg_dump
business doesn't seem to be blocking other testing so it will have
to wait.

If you have stuff on your list 'to fix', do you want to put off beta2 a 
few extra days, so that its that much cleaner for testers?  Say, put it to 
Wednesday so that you aren't sapping your weekend time?

[ shrug... ] There will always be stuff on my to-fix list.  I think the
real issue is whether CVS tip is enough better than beta1 that we should
push it out.  Considering the number of duplicate reports of
already-fixed bugs we've seen lately, I think we should go ahead with
replacing beta1.

Will we be looking at a re-initdb with beta2?  I didn't notice any changes
that would force it, but just to be clear...

At this point, no initdb, but you will need to be prepared to reset the
xlog if you don't want to initdb.  In short:

	1. clean shutdown of old postmaster.
	2. install new executables.
	3. pg_resetxlog $PGDATA
	4. start postmaster.

If you try to skip step 3 you will get some truly frightening complaints
about "unable to locate a valid checkpoint", but as long as you didn't
skip step 1 you haven't lost any data.
