Well, I ran 'make' in the /doc/src/sgml/ directory. The Makefile has:

version.sgml: $(top_srcdir)/configure
{ \
echo "<!ENTITY version \"$(VERSION)\">"; \
echo "<!ENTITY majorversion \"$(MAJORVERSION)\">"; \
} > $@

and version.sgml has:

<!ENTITY version "9.6beta2">
<!ENTITY majorversion "9.6">

That tells me that the Makefile VERSION is already "9.6beta2". I
checked index.html too:

$ grep -i beta index.html
>PostgreSQL 9.6beta2 Documentation</TITLE
>PostgreSQL 9.6beta2 Documentation</A

and when I run 'make' I see:

$ make
{ \
echo "<!ENTITY version \"9.6beta2\">"; \
echo "<!ENTITY majorversion \"9.6\">"; \
} > version.sgml

What am I missing? I don't see a "9.6beta" anywhere.
