Support and Devel Targets

["Joshua D. Drake" <..hidden..>]

Hello,

Chris and I were talking tonight and we came up with the brilliant idea 
of documenting our supported versions of PostgreSQL. We wanted to see 
what the community thinks so here ya go:

Support target for 1.2 is PostgreSQL 8.0.x+
Devel target for 1.3+ is PostgreSQL 8.1.x+

We will support PostgreSQL 8.1.x+ for an extended period easily pushing 
into 1.4,1.5/2.0.

There are several reasons for this. PostgreSQL 8.1.x is quite a bit 
faster than 8.0.x. It also supports some larger enterprise features such 
as table partitioning and better procedure development. Also from a 
commercial standpoint, 8.1 is what shipped with RHEL5 (and subsequently 
Centos5) and will likely be the most largely deployed version of 
PostgreSQL for the foreseeable future.

Any thoughts?

Joshua D. Drake
