What I was surprised to see was no changes that make it easier to upstream the changes that neon and others have to upstream each release. Anyone have insights on this?
Compiled. Install. Very nice. Let's see some of those features.
Sadly one of the most interesting features, Async I/O, is going to take some work at the file system level for us to support. For now all operations are still sync. And we'll keep updating on our progress there.
