After a few enhancements and pushing the replication system through a 
series of tests, including 48+ hours of heavy load and other tortures, 
the Slony-I project team is presenting the Release Candidate 1 for the 
1.0.0 release.

The system performed very well under even extreme conditions. Taking 
down a replica for 8 hours and let it catch up against a loaded system 
was as little a problem as overloading the master server until it 
started to swap with over 100 processes runnable.

All signals are go and RC1 should be the last pre-release download that 
requires a reinstallation of the replication software. The release date 
is scheduled for July 1st, Canada Day.

Please visit the Slony-I homepage to download the rc1 tarball for your 
own tests.
