== PostgreSQL Weekly News - July 24 2005 ==

8.1 feature freeze is on.  Now it's time to work out implementation
details, stamp out bugs, and test, test, test.

EnterpriseDB, Neil Conway and (earlier) Sean Chittenden worked with
Coverity to do static code analysis of PostgreSQL.  They found 20 bugs
in 3/4 million lines of code.
