Thread: Draft release notes are up

First cut at release notes for next week's minor releases is up at

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=488ccfe40a865e3f3c6343e2de026c37ba5a7d50

If you prefer not to read XML markup, they should appear in the devel docs
on the website after guaibasaurus's next run, a couple hours from now.

            regards, tom lane

This will only be part of release-9.5.sgml in the final version, right?

Right, each item is only for the branch(es) indicated in its comment.
I'll reassemble them once people have vetted the text.
