PostgreSQL 9.0 is here! The PostgreSQL Global Development Group
announces the availability of our most eagerly awaited release.
PostgreSQL 9.0 includes built-in, binary replication, and over a dozen
other major features which will appeal to everyone from web developers
to database hackers.

9.0 includes more major features than any release before it, including:

• * Hot standby


• * Streaming replication


• * In-place upgrades


• * 64-bit Windows builds


• * Easy mass permissions management


• * Anonymous blocks and named parameter calls for stored procedures


• * New windowing functions and ordered aggregates

... and many more. For details on the over 200 additions and
improvements in this version, developed by over a hundred contributors,
please see the release notes.

"These kinds of feature additions continue to make a strong case for why
mission-critical technology tasks can continue to depend on the power,
flexibility and robustness of PostgreSQL," said Afilias CTO Ram Mohan.
