PostgreSQL is a robust relational database system with more than 20 years of active development that runs on all major operating systems. It is fully ACID compliant, and has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL92 and SQL99 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, and ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.

Changes: GROUP BY processing has been improved by using hash buckets. There is a new multikey hash join capability. Queries using the explicit JOIN syntax are now better optimized. There is faster and more powerful regular expression code, full support for IPv6 connections and IPv6 address data types, and major improvements in SSL performance and reliability. The free space map efficiently reuses empty index pages. There is an SQL-standard information schema, a new client-to-server protocol, a new version of full-text indexing, and a new autovacuum tool. libpq and ECPG applications are now fully thread-safe.

pydance is a dancing game written in Python, formerly named pyDDR. The
idea is simple. There’s a floor mat with arrows, and the game scrolls
arrows up the screen to the beat while playing a song. When the arrows
reach the top of the screen (not sooner and not later), the player
hits the corresponding arrow on the pad, and given that it’s hit on
time with the beat, points are scored. Based on how well the dance is
put together, s/he is graded at the end of the song. Both keyboard and
mat play are supported.

Changes: Animated arrow support was added, and most of the themes were updated with new graphics to take advantage of this. CRS (nonstop course) file support was added. Input (keyboard and joystick) remapping is now available, from the options screen. All the crashing bugs introduced in 0.8.1 were fixed, as were some minor graphical glitches.
