Is the last 9.1 release planned?

Hello,

(Please point me to the appropriate ML if this is not the right one.)

According to the following mail, I thought one more release for 9.1 (9.1.24) was scheduled in September.  Is there any
releaseplan for the 9.1 last release?  If there's, I want to wait for it, and apply 9.1.23 otherwise.

[Excerpt]
PostgreSQL version 9.1 will be End-of-Life in September 2016.  The project expects to only release one more update for
thatversion.

9.1.24 will be the last in the 9.1 series as far as I know. And it is
still to come at the beginning of November:

But the release note for 9.1.23 says:

"The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates for the 9.1.X release series in September 2016. Users are
encouragedto update to a newer release branch soon."
 


OTOH, the 9.0.22 release note said:

"The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates for the 9.0.X release series in September 2015. Users are
encouragedto update to a newer release branch soon."
 

and the 9.0.23, which is the last release for 9.0 said:

"This is expected to be the last PostgreSQL release in the 9.0.X series. Users are encouraged to update to a newer
releasebranch soon."
 

and 9.0.23 was released in October 8.  So I guessed 9.1.24 will be released in a week or so.

Well, no. We normally don't give special treatment to any minor
release not even if it is going to die.
What normally happens is that all minor releases are released the same day.

Taken your example, that same day were released: 9.0.23, 9.1.19,
9.2.14, 9.3.10 and 9.4.5

Thanks for clarification.  Then, I understood that the expression "stop releases in September" in the release note and
apgsql-announce mail was not correct.

I see.  I simply took the phrases in pgsql-announce "September is EOL" and "only expects one more release" as meaning
"onlyexpects one more release in September", because I didn't imagine a minor version is released after EOL.
 

If possible, I was happy if I saw "only expects one more release in November" or "on a regular schedule".
