Morning ...

	Just to let ppl know what I'm using as milestones for beta
releases:

beta2 - vadim finishes WAL stuff he's currently working on
beta3 - vadim incorporates LAZY extension to VACUUM
beta4 - a week later to clean out any bugs as a result of beta3
beta5 - first release candidate, a week after beta4

assuming no bugs with beta5, no more beta's, just release ...

Vadim hopes to have WAL completed by ~Friday, and the LAZY stuff is
already written, he just doesn't want to divert time from WAL right now as
its going to need the most testing ... so, if we are lucky, beta3 will be
Jan 1st(ish) and release for the 1st of February ...

... there abouts ...

I think the TOAST-table-vacuuming issue is a "must fix for beta2", also.
I'm on it now...

Agreed ... that list wasn't a "beta2 happens as soon as Vadim commits",
more a "when Vadim commits, I'll ask the list if there is anything left
outstanding" :)  Sort of a personal trigger ...

Re: Future beta releases ... 
I'd like to get into some beta release with GiST changes.
I want people who use GiST (not so much expected) to test
changes. I've posted a list of changes.

Regards,

Oleg, the correct answer at this point is always "yes Marc it is just
bug fixes" ;)

The GiST stuff is *really great*, but as you've noticed was also sorely
neglected. It will be A Good Thing to get this stuff active again.
