Hi

I think the PostgreSQL homepage is going to cause confusion for anyone
checking it for news of the upcoming security release.

There's a big splash box titled "PostgreSQL minor versions released!"
which mentions fixes including "a security issue", however the announcement
does not have a date and it's not obvious that the releases listed
(9.2.3 etc) are
already a few weeks old.

The "Upcoming PostgreSQL Security Release" announcment, which is
tucked away unter "Latest news", also doesn't specify the upcoming
release numbers.

It might be worth updating the "splash box".

Just my 2 cents...

Regards

Ian Barwick
