2024-11-21 - PostgreSQL 17.2, 16.6, 15.10, 14.15, 13.18, and 12.22 Released!

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of PostgreSQL, including 17.2, 16.6, 15.10, 14.15, and 13.18. Additionally, due to the nature of one of the issues in the previous update release, the PostgreSQL Global Development Group is also releasing a 12.22 release for PostgreSQL 12. PostgreSQL 12 is now EOL and will not receive more fixes.

This is the final release of PostgreSQL 12. PostgreSQL 12 is now end-of-life and will no longer receive security and bug fixes. If you are running PostgreSQL 12 in a production environment, we suggest that you make plans to upgrade to a newer, supported version of PostgreSQL. Please see our versioning policy for more information.

For the more information about this release, please review the release notes. You can download PostgreSQL from the download page.
