Обсуждение: Should the "what is the lastest version" FAQ be removed?
I notice that the FAQs tend to give conflicting answers regarding the latest version of postgres; none of them matching the home page: "The latest release of PostgreSQL is version 8.3.3." [1] "Die neueste Version von PostgreSQL ist 8.2.5." [2] "A última versão do PostgreSQL é a versão 8.2.5." [3] "PostgreSQL 最新的版本是版本 8.2.1" [4] "PostgreSQL 最新的版本是版本 8.2.3" [5] Do those reflect the last time the product was released in the corresponding languages? If not, can whatever generates/publishes the website have some global search&replace for version numbers? If it's hard to set up a global search&replace, perhaps that FAQ entry should just be removed, since it seems to be misleading more often than helpful.

No, the FAQs should be changed into a pointer to the main website which has the up-to-date information. There is no point in duplicating the information - it will just lead to further mistakes just like these. //Magnus
