Also, I've added an archive of past update releases, as well as templates for future releases, to the "press" repository on git.postgresql.org. Let me know if any of you need permissions on that repo.
This release is a bugfix release with no security issues, which is why it's a good one to start with.
Thank you for putting this together, it is super helpful.
I thought templates + documentation would be much better than talking just one person through it.
Where is the starting point for compiling information about what is going into the release, i.e. the “1 to 2 weeks out” step in the guide?
That's where we are now. Tarballs will be bundled on Monday.
Oh, also: 9.1 is EOL as of this release.
There are several big fixes in this release, including a data-corruption one for 9.6.
Sounds like it will be a fun writeup. Looking forward to getting the specific feature list.
