Typo:

"PostgreSQL 16 continues to give users to the ability grant privileged
..."

Should be:

"PostgreSQL 16 continues to give users the ability to grant privileged
..."

Hmmm, upon re-reading that whole sentence (not just my fragment of it
above)
seems pretty unwieldy. A better one isn't springing to mind though. ;)

Should this:

"Additionally, starting with release, logical replication ..."

Have the word "this" before "release"?

Typo:

"... use the authenticated credentials to connected to other
services."

Should be:

"... use the authenticated credentials to connect to other services."

The sentence after that starts:

"This release also adds ..."

With the one following it starting with "This includes ...". Together,
they a bit unwieldy too. Maybe something like this instead?

"This release also adds several new security-oriented connection
parameters for clients, including ..."

Would this:

"You can now also set `sslrootcert` to `system` to specify that
PostgreSQL can use the trusted certificate authority (CA) store
for that operating system."

Be better as?

"You can now also set `sslrootcert` to `system` to instruct
PostgreSQL to use the trusted certificate authority (CA) store
provided by the operating system."

Nothing else is jumping out at me. It all seems pretty good. :)
