What's New
Version 9.0.1:
- Everything is now in one installer. 9.0.1 is the default, but you can select the 8.4.5 version from the custom installation option.
- Contrib is now builit in
- The installer now goes to the /Library/PostgreSQL folder instead of /Library/PostgreSQL8. If you would like, you can move your existing folder to that location for an upgrade, or you can leave them in place side by side. Symlinks will work too.
- We have dropped support for 10.4. As we migrate to use the newer features of the Cocoa platform, 10.4 is becoming increasingly difficult to keep in sync. With that in mind, we have dropped support for 10.4. We can support it if needed, but it is time consuming.
- pgAdmin is now installed as part of the installation
- The Automator Query actions are now installed by default.
- JDBC4 is now in the installer, but it is an optional installation.
- Symlinks are now correct with regards to doc and man.
- pg_set_version.sh will no longer create bogus doc and man folder links.

2. If you're going to download or link to this, it's better to do it from their SourceForge page because their web site isn't as speedy:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgsqlformac/

As for download speed, the SourceForge clusters are significantly faster than the druware links. Something about money and bandwidth. SourceForge has large sums of cash behind it. Druware, not so much. More like starving artists.

1) uninstaller is missing
2) query tool installed by default (during the server install) is BAD - it seems to have been compiled as a PPC only, and not as a universal binary, so it won't run on my Intel machine.
3) documentation provided needs urgent updating, including: instructions for manual uninstall (in case the uninstaller goes missing again, or user is unable to run it), instructions for drag-install of client tools, and a basic troubleshooting guide (telling users what to do if the server does not seem to launch)
Your efforts to bring PostgreSQL to the Mac are certainly appreciated. Please, keep up the good work.
