PostgreSQL 12 RC 1 Released
===========================

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces that the first release
candidate of PostgreSQL 12 is now available for download. As a release
candidate, PostgreSQL 12 RC 1 should be identical to the initial release of
PostgreSQL 12, though some more fixes may be applied prior to the general
availability of PostgreSQL 12.

The planned date for the general availability of PostgreSQL 12 is October 3,
2019. Please see the "Release Schedule" section for more details.

Upgrading to PostgreSQL 12 RC 1
-------------------------------

To upgrade to PostgreSQL 12 RC 1 from Beta 4 or an earlier version of
PostgreSQL 12, you will need to use a strategy similar to upgrading between
major versions of PostgreSQL (e.g. `pg_upgrade` or `pg_dump` / `pg_restore`).
For more information, please visit the documentation section on
[upgrading](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/static/upgrading.html).

Changes Since 12 Beta 4
-----------------------

There have been many bug fixes for PostgreSQL 12 reported during the Beta 4
period and applied to this release candidate. These include:

* Add additional "leakproof" markings to certain string functions to better support nondeterministic collations. This can positively impact the performance of some query plans
* Removal of the ECPG `DECLARE STATEMENT` functionality
* The ecpglib major version change was reverted
* Fix handling of nondeterministic collations with pattern\_ops opclasses

For a detailed list of fixes, please visit the
[open items](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_12_Open_Items#resolved_before_12rc1)
page.

Release Schedule
----------------

This is the first release candidate for PostgreSQL 12. Unless an issue is
discovered that warrants a delay or to produce an additional release candidate,
PostgreSQL 12 should be made generally available on October 3, 2019.

For further information please see the
[Beta Testing](https://www.postgresql.org/developer/beta/) page.
