-          for <a href="/download/">download</a>. As a release candidate,
-          PostgreSQL 17 RC 1 will be mostly identical to the initial release of
-          PostgreSQL 17, though some more fixes may be applied prior to the
-          general availability of PostgreSQL 17.
+          The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today announced the release of

-          The planned date for the general availability of PostgreSQL 17 is
-          September 26, 2024.
+          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.
