- general availability of PostgreSQL 17.
+ The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today announced the release of
+ <a href="/docs/17/release-17.html">PostgreSQL 17</a>, the latest

+ PostgreSQL 17 builds on decades of open source development, improving
+ its performance and scalability while adapting to emergent data access
+ and storage patterns. This release of PostgreSQL adds significant
+ overall performance gains, including an overhauled memory management
+ implementation for vacuum, optimizations to storage access and
+ improvements for high concurrency workloads, speedups in bulk loading
+ and exports, and query execution improvements for indexes.
+ PostgreSQL 17 has features that benefit brand new workloads and
+ critical systems alike, such as additions to the developer experience
+ with the SQL/JSON <code>JSON_TABLE</code> command, and enhancements to
+ logical replication that simplify management of high availability
+ workloads and major version upgrades.
