For example, the backend crashes with some aggregate queries on views. Example: create table a (x float, id text); create view b as select min(x),id from a group by id; insert into a values (0,'x'); select a0.* from a a0, b b0 where b0.id=a0.id and a0.x=b0.min; This bug has been fixed in 7.0beta3, but won't be fixed for 6.5.3 (development on that branch has ceased completely). Because of this, and because the maintainers say: "No, the 6.5.* releases are done. 7.0 is in beta. Many think 7.0beta* is more stable than the 6.5.* release." I'd like to suggest that 7.0beta should be used for STABLE ports. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
