As a release +candidate, PostgreSQL 15 RC 1 will be mostly identical to the initial release of +PostgreSQL 15, though some more fixes may be applied prior to the general +availability of PostgreSQL 15. + +The planned date for the general availability of PostgreSQL 15 is +October 13, 2022. Please see the "Release Schedule" section for more details. + +Upgrading to PostgreSQL 15 RC 1 +------------------------------- + +To upgrade to PostgreSQL 15 RC 1 from earlier versions of PostgreSQL, you will +need to use a major version upgrade strategy, e.g. `pg_upgrade` or +`pg_dump` / `pg_restore`. For more information, please visit the documentation +section on [upgrading](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/static/upgrading.html): + +[https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/static/upgrading.html](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/static/upgrading.html) + +Changes Since 15 Beta 4 +----------------------- + +Several bug fixes were applied for PostgreSQL 15 during the Beta 4 period. These +include: + +* The syntax for publishing all tables in a schema using logical replication +is changed to `CREATE PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA ...`. +* Logical replication publications can now publish tables that are within a +schema if both schema and table are specified. +* Disallow publishing a schema if a table with column-lists is specified. +* Fix issue with `pg_publication_tables` view where it would display dropped +columns. +* Disallow creating a new database with an unsupported ICU locale. +* Fix behavior issue with the `--gzip` option for `pg_basebackup` where the +contents of the WAL directory were not compressed. +* Fix issue with recovery prefetching when `maintenance_io_concurrency` was set +to a low value (e.g. `0`). +* Log errors when replaying WAL files when `wal_compression` is specified as +either `lz4` or `zstd` but the server does not support it. +* Move several files generated by `pg_upgrade` to an internal subdirectory. +* Clear the display from the `ps` command when the recovery process finishes. + +For a detailed list of fixes, please visit the +[open items](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_15_Open_Items#resolved_before_15rc1) +page. + +Release Schedule +---------------- + +This is the first release candidate for PostgreSQL 15. Unless an issue is +discovered that warrants a delay or to produce an additional release candidate, +PostgreSQL 15 should be made generally available on October 13, 2022. + +For further information please see the +[Beta Testing](https://www.postgresql.org/developer/beta/) page. + +Links +----- + +* [Download](https://www.postgresql.org/download/) +* [Beta Testing Information](https://www.postgresql.org/developer/beta/) +* [PostgreSQL 15 RC 1 Release Notes](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/static/release-15.html) +* [PostgreSQL 15 Open Issues](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_15_Open_Items) +* [Submit a Bug](https://www.postgresql.org/account/submitbug/) +* [Follow @postgresql on Twitter](https://www.twitter.com/postgresql) -- 2.39.5
