<p>
- The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces that the
- <a href="/developer/beta/">first release candidate of PostgreSQL 18</a>
- is now available for <a href="/download/">download</a>. As a release
- candidate, PostgreSQL 18 RC 1 will be mostly identical to the initial release of
- PostgreSQL 18, though some more fixes may be applied prior to the general
- availability of PostgreSQL 18.
+ The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today announced the release of
+ <a href="/docs/18/release-18.html">PostgreSQL 18</a>, the latest
+ version of the world's most advanced open source database.
</p>
<p>
- The planned date for the general availability of PostgreSQL 18 is
- September 25, 2025.
+ PostgreSQL 18 improves performance for workloads of all sizes through
+ a new I/O subsystem that has demonstrated up to 3× performance
+ improvements when reading from storage, and also increases the number
+ of queries that can use indexes. This release makes major-version
+ upgrades less disruptive, accelerating upgrade times and reducing the
+ time required to reach expected performance after an upgrade
+ completes. Developers also benefit from PostgreSQL 18 features,
+ including virtual generated columns that compute values at query time,
+ and the database-friendly <code>uuidv7()</code> function that provides
+ better indexing and read performance for UUIDs. PostgreSQL 18 makes it
+ easier to integrate with single-sign on (SSO) systems with support for
+ OAuth 2.0 authentication.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For the full list of features in PostgreSQL 18, please review the
+ <a href="/docs/18/release-18.html">release notes</a>. You can download
+ PostgreSQL 18 from the <a href="/download/">download</a> page.

+ "The efforts of the global open source community shape every

+ continuing to expand the workloads it can support."

<p>
- The planned date for the general availability of PostgreSQL 18 is

+ PostgreSQL, an innovative data management system known for its
+ reliability, robustness, and extensibility, benefits from nearly 30
+ years of open source development from a global developer community and
+ has become the preferred open source relational database for
+ organizations of all sizes.
