UDR has been deprecated in favor of pglogical, which is based on better code already available on PostgreSQL (and production ready... actually we are using it with customers on production systems). There will not be any BDR release for 9.5. That has been commented may many times on the pgsql-general list. There will most likely be a 9.6 version, but it won't run on stock postgres (you'll still need to have a patched version of postgres). If the rest of the features BDR relies on get in for the PG 10 release, then there will be only a BDR extension which you'd have to install (no patching postgres)

That may be the case, but they need to update the documentation to reflect that. This is what it currently says: "Note: All the new features required have been submitted for inclusion in PostgreSQL 9.5. Many have already been accepted and included. If all the functionality BDR requires is added to PostgreSQL 9.5 then the need for a modified PostgreSQL will go away in the next version." Well, PostgreSQL 9.5 has been out for several months now, and there's no note at all for 9.6. For a 1.0 announcement, that's a pretty strange omission. So we get something that only really works with a patched version of 9.4 when 9.6 is going to be released soon, and talks about 9.5 like it isn't out yet? No thanks.

I'm not on pgsql-general. Or any of the postgres lists besides announce. So, I'm not sure who's fault it is, but I'm listening in one place (your website mainly), and you're talking in another place (pgsql-general apparently), and so we're not communicating effectively. Actually, at least as recently as June, when I emailed you guys directly you didn't say that. Instead I got linked to a blog post from Dec 2015 that didn't answer my question, and then a "Not yet" when I replied to ask my question again.
