[Bizgres-general] Bizgres 0.9 Out Momentarily

[Josh Berkus]

Folks,

Just wanted to let you know that Bizgres 0.9 has been bundled and will very 
soon be available from the Bizgres web site.  Currently we're being held up 
by a DNS problem which prevents access to the new web site.

The new Bizgres includes:
Jie Zhang's bitmap-on-disk indexes, which reduce the size of indexes on large 
tables by 95% compared to B-trees;
Simon Riggs's (with help from Tom Lane) faster external sorts, at least 
doubling the speed of large sort operations;
More copy enhancements from Alon Goldshuv;
Merging of the 8.1  source code tree with Bizgres.

Please note that the last improvement means a dump & reload for those of you 
who are upgrading.  We have not yet solved the upgrade-in-place issue for 
Bizgres.

More tommorrow when you can actually access and download the new code!
