These are just of beta quality, but we're only at beta ... the section about parallel query, in particular, could doubtless use more work.

<title>Release Notes</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The release notes contain the significant changes in each
|
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</> release, with major features and migration
|
|
issues listed at the top. The release notes do not contain changes
|
|
that affect only a few users or changes that are internal and therefore not
|
|
user-visible. For example, the optimizer is improved in almost every
|
|
release, but the improvements are usually observed by users as simply
|
|
faster queries.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
A complete list of changes for each release can be obtained by
|
|
viewing the <link linkend="git">Git</link> logs for each release.
|
|
The <ulink
|
|
url="http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/"><literal>pgsql-committers</literal>
|
|
email list</ulink> records all source code changes as well. There is also
|
|
a <ulink url="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=summary">web
|
|
interface</ulink> that shows changes to specific files.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The name appearing next to each item represents the major developer for
|
|
that item. Of course all changes involve community discussion and patch
|
|
review, so each item is truly a community effort.

To add a new major-release series, add an entry here and in filelist.sgml.
|
|
|
|
The reason for splitting the release notes this way is so that appropriate
|
|
subsets can easily be copied into back branches.
