If you want the changes to the server between releases see the Release notes in the documentation. 8.0.1 release notes contain all changes back to the 1.0 release. If you want to know the documentation changes between releases, we don't track that except via CVS logs. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org      |

I think his point is that those notes aren't up on the website. We should make a regular practice of updating the on-line docs to match each minor release, even if nothing changed except the release notes (which is often not the case, anyway). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster |

I assume we are saying I have to download them to view them. This may be correct now, but in the past that doesn't seem to have been the case. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/i...e/release.html Has all releases, including 7.4.6 and the changes to 7.4.5, but none of these appear to be available for the most recent release (eg 7.4.7, 7.3.9 and 8.0.1) I know they may have been only security release, but I assumed that the release notes would say what security bugs those versions fixed. But I could be all wrong about this too.

Uh, my next question is why isn't the documentation updated on the web site for each minor release? We update the tarball HTML for each release. This seems like a pretty large omission. Is it the web comments that prevent it? -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org |

Also thanks to Bruno for the link to the developer docs, where the 8.0.1 release information is.
