Postgres 11.6-2 to 11.7 worth the upgrade?

Would upgrading from 11.6-2 to 11.7-current give us any performance advantages?  We are seeing intermittent performance problems that come and go.  Also are there any fixes for the wal_sender and pg_basebackup between the versions?

It doesn't seem like it. Always best to run the most current minor version though.

You can peruse the release notes online but regardless the project policy is that you should never not apply a minor release update (though we also don't use 11.6-2 version numbering...).
