Tom Lane 60b1d6c2a7 Doc: in each release branch, keep only that branch's own release notes. 
Historically we've had each release branch include all prior branches'
notes, including minor-release changes, back to the beginning of the
project.  That's basically an O(N^2) proposition, and it was starting to
catch up with us: as of HEAD the back-branch release notes alone accounted
for nearly 30% of the documentation.  While there's certainly some value
in easy access to back-branch notes, this is getting out of hand.

Hence, switch over to the rule that each branch contains only its own
release notes.  So as to not make older notes too hard to find, each
branch will provide URLs for the immediately preceding branches'
release notes on the project website.

There might be value in providing aggregated notes across all branches
somewhere on the website, but that's a task for another day.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
