We have twelve days until July 1, feature freeze.

Looking at our list:

Win32 - need service manger code, installer is outside project

Tablespaces - patch installed; discussing implementation and
administration details.

Nested transactions - submitted, with phantom xids; only needs trigger
and guc work. Tom is going to review it in the next few days. We need
to determine that we can complete all the needed nested transaction work
by July 1, and we need to give Alvaro feedback so he can complete any
needed items. I feel bad we haven't given him feedback sooner, but the
patch is difficult to review because it is so large, and Alvaro has been
continuing to improve it. With phantom xids done, he is almost
complete so we need to give him feedback soon.

PITR - Simon is working on doing restores by calling an external program
to transfer one file at a time into the pg_xlog directory, processing
it, then deleting it. I think he will be done in a few days, and we
will review his patch soon.

The only good thing about the delay in applying these patches is that
the CVS tree isn't moving very much.

We are also looking to get pg_autovacuum in the backend done and there
are a number of almost-finished patches floating around that I hope we
can get in.

I will have sporatic connectivity after Monday while I am in Europe so
will only be able to help occasionally. Tom will be doing most of the
heavy lifting to get us to feature freeze. Thanks, Tom!
