    Jonathan S. Katz <jkatz@postgresql.org> — 2023-06-27T14:32:27Z

    Hi,

Please see the attached draft of the PostgreSQL 16 Beta 2 release 
announcement.

I used the open items list[1] to build the draft. If there are any 
notable please omissions, please let me know.

Please leave all feedback by June 29, 0:00 AoE.

Thanks,

Jonathan

I noticed that ldap_password_hook [1] was omitted from the release
notes. I believe it should be included if nothing else so that it's
written somewhere that it's there. AFAIK there's no other
documentation about it.

Andrew Dunstan and John Naylor can add comments here, but a paragraph
like this could be added:

"A hook for modifying the ldapbind password was added to libpq. The
hook can be installed by a shared_preload library. This will allow
users who have to work with LDAP authentication to create their own
methods of dealing with ldap bind passwords. An example is provided at
test/modules/ldap_password_func/ldap_password_func.c"

Thanks,

Roberto

Was this discussed on the release notes thread?[1]. It can always be 
added to the release notes -- those aren't finalized until GA.

After Beta 1, the announcements are either about new feature 
additions/removals since the last beta release, or bug fixes. I don't 
think it makes sense to include this here.

Thanks,

Jonathan

It wasn't. I'll add it to that thread.

Thank you,
