Hi,
Attached is a draft of the PostgreSQL 18 Beta 1 release announcement.
The goal of this announcement is to introduce the new capabilities
planned for PostgreSQL 18 and give users an idea of areas we'd like to
see tested.
Please check for accuracy and if there are glaring omissions (happy to
have the discussion on what to include in here, though note it's not
possible to list everything in here). If a description is unclear or
there are typos, I'm also happy to modify it; that said, for these
suggestions I'm looking for recommendations that bring better clarity to
a description vs. nitpicking over phrasing.
While I can make changes up until 2025-05-08 12:00 UTC, I won't be able
to make anything substantive past 2025-05-08 02:00 UTC (especially
because there's also the regular release this week!), so please have all
feedback in by 2025-05-08 02:00 UTC.
Thanks - and thanks to everyone for their hard work on this release -
I'm very excited for PostgreSQL 18!
Jonathan
