There are many features that I’ve been looking forward to for the last few months and I’m excited to see them get into the hands of users. Before we dive into the specific features of this release, let’s discuss what a Postgres major release actually means.

Postgres 16 came out last week - and this year it arrived earlier than the last few years. In addition, Postgres releases minor versions of each major release every 3 months or so with bug fixes and security fixes. No new features are released in minor versions, and that's what makes major version releases so exciting.
