Attached is a draft of the PostgreSQL 18 GA press release. A few comments before the ask for reviewing:
* I still need to write up the theme and the quote, which I'll provide tomorrow after hearing the first round of feedback * The release is a bit long - this is due in part to what I think is a lot of really good features in PostgreSQL 18. "Something for everyone"
Please review for the press release for the following:
* Correctness and accuracy of what's described - we want to be technically correct, but we also need to explain why something matters to our users. * Notable omissions (apologies if I missed something, but also note not everything going to make the cut). * Features to exclude. * How easy phrases are to translate / confusing phrases * Typos.
Like previous years, I won't really look at stylistic remarks, unless it falls into the "making it simpler to translate / confusing phrase" bucket.
After 2025-09-14 0:00 UTC I won't be able to accept more feedback, as we'll need to begin the translation process. Anyone who provides accepted feedback will also get a mention in the press release "thank you" page[1], which stays up for about a year ;)
