Re: [Postgres-xc-developers] Commit 52a8aea4290851 (Merge with 9.2.3)

[Ahsan H. <ahs...@en...>]

Hi Pavan,

Thanks for raising this. Just to make sure i understand the problem, the
next release of postgres-xc will be 1.1. The 1.1 release will be based on
PG 9.2, when we create the branch for 1.1 we will continue to do further
development for the next release and merges in the master branch.  Any
future PG 9.2 point releases will be committed in the 1.1 branch going
forward. The next major release after 1.1 will be based on PG 9.3.

Thanks,
Ahsan
