After more than a year of hard work, the PostgreSQL Global Development Group proudly announces the release of version 8.0.0 of the PostgreSQL ORDBMS. This release involves possibly more major changes than any prior version of PostgreSQL since 6.3, including:
Native Windows port
Savepoints/nested transactions
Exception handling inside functions
Tablespaces
Point in time recovery
Improved shared buffer management
Background writer process to reduce checkpoint impact
Tunable delays to reduce the impact of VACUUM
