+ time of release are listed in the installation instructions.

1.4) What non-unix ports are available?
It is possible to compile the libpq C library, psql, and other
There is also an IRC channel on EFNet, channel #PostgreSQL. I use the
unix command irc -c '#PostgreSQL' "$USER" irc.phoenix.net.
- Commercial support for PostgreSQL is available at
