PostgreSQL 9.3 Beta 1 released
The first PostgreSQL 9.3 beta is out for testing. There are plenty of new
features in this release, including writable foreign tables, automatically
updatable VIEWs, lateral joins, indexed regular expression searches,
checksums to detect filesystem-induced data corruption, and more. "In 9.3, PostgreSQL has greatly reduced its requirement for SysV shared
memory, changing to mmap(). This allows easier installation and
configuration of PostgreSQL, but means that we need our users to
rigorously test and ensure that no memory management issues have been
introduced by the change."
