PostgreSQL Weekly News - Dec 25th 2002

== PostgreSQL Weekly News - Dec 25th 2002 ==

Over the weekend v7.3.1 was packaged up as the latest stable release.
Purely meant to be a bug fix release, this one does have one major change,
in that the major number of the libpq library was increased, which means
that everyone is encouraged to recompile their clients along with this
upgrade.

This release can be found on all the mirrors, and on the root ftp server,
under: ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v7.3.1

Please report any bugs to pgsql-bugs(at)postgresql(dot)org(dot)
