Thread: PostgreSQL 16 RC1 + GA release dates

Hi,

The date for PostgreSQL 16 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is August 31, 2023. 
Please ensure all open items[1] are completed and committed before 
August 26, 2023 12:00 UTC.

This means the current target date for the PostgreSQL 16 GA release is 
September 14, 2023. While this date could change if the release team 
decides the candidate release is not ready, please plan for this date to 
be the GA release.

Thanks,

Jonathan

FYI, I moved the "Oversight in reparameterize_path_by_child leading to
executor crash" open item to the "Older bugs affecting stable branches"
section, because it is in fact an old bug: the given test case crashes
in every branch that has enable_partitionwise_join.  I'll still look
at getting in the fix before RC1, but we should understand what we're
dealing with.
