While this looks like an important update, note that it's not a new feature release.
- stingraycharles 9y agoHmm I'm a bit confused. Why did they decide to do this ?
- grzm 9y agoLargely because the previous version numbering was sometimes confusing for the opposite reason: Postgres "major" releases were sometimes interpreted as point releases. For example, 9.1 to 9.2 was major version jump. While that was understood by those who already understood the versioning scheme, it was often confusing to those outside the community.
