PostgreSQL 8.0 has been released and is available for download.
SUSE is now making RPMs available for current PostgreSQL versions (7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.0rc builds):
Well, the previous prediction doesn't seem to have been quite accurate. A number of last-minute bug-fixes, including the solution for a hard-to-reproduce table definition problem (more info) have been added, bringing the Release Candidate total up to 5.
An initdb is not required.

The anticipated December 15th release obviously didn't happen for a variety of reasons. PostgreSQL 8.0 is now at Release Candidate 3, and the latest target is now January 15th, with this being the final Release Candidate.
This release contains mainly documentation changes. An initdb
is not required.

The recent outage seems to have ended (announcement) and all sites now seem to be working. Mail is coming through too.
The lastest Weekly News indicates that 8.0 will be released around the 15th of December. With no more catalogue changes likely, this site is now running on 8.0rc1.
