Hi, Attached is a copy of the PostgreSQL 17 Beta 1 release announcement draft. This contains a user-facing summary of some of the features that will be available in the Beta, as well as a call to test. I've made an effort to group them logically around the different workflows they affect. A few notes: * The section with the features is not 80-char delimited. I will do that before the final copy * There is an explicit callout that we've added in the SQL/JSON features that were previously reverted in PG15. I want to ensure we're transparent about that, but also use it as a hook to get people testing. When reviewing: * Please check for correctness of feature descriptions, keeping in mind this is targeted for a general audience * Please indicate if you believe there's a notable omission, or if we should omit any of these callouts * Please indicate if a description is confusing - I'm happy to rewrite to ensure it's clearer. Please provide feedback no later than Wed 2024-05-22 18:00 UTC. As the beta release takes some extra effort, I want to ensure all changes are in with time to spare before release day. Thanks, Jonathan
