[Excerpt]
PostgreSQL version 9.1 will be End-of-Life in September 2016. The project expects to only release one more update for that version.

9.1.24 will be the last in the 9.1 series as far as I know. And it is
still to come at the beginning of November:

9.1.24 will be the last in the 9.1 series as far as I know. And it is still
to come at the beginning of November:
https://www.postgresql.org/developer/roadmap/

But the release note for 9.1.23 says:

"The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates for the 9.1.X release series in September 2016. Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon."

OTOH, the 9.0.22 release note said:

"The PostgreSQL community will stop releasing updates for the 9.0.X release series in September 2015. Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon."

and the 9.0.23, which is the last release for 9.0 said:

"This is expected to be the last PostgreSQL release in the 9.0.X series. Users are encouraged to update to a newer release branch soon."

and 9.0.23 was released in October 8. So I guessed 9.1.24 will be released in a week or so.

Well, no. We normally don't give special treatment to any minor
release not even if it is going to die.
What normally happens is that all minor releases are released the same day.

Taken your example, that same day were released: 9.0.23, 9.1.19,
9.2.14, 9.3.10 and 9.4.5

Thanks for clarification. Then, I understood that the expression "stop releases in September" in the release note and a pgsql-announce mail was not correct.

It basically means stop guaranteeing that we do. As of a couple of days
ago, bug fixes won't necessarily be back ported to 9.1 if they are
difficult. But there will be one wrap-up release in November with any
patches that have already been applied but have not yet been in a release.
And after November, we will stop doing that as well.

I see. I simply took the phrases in pgsql-announce "September is EOL" and "only expects one more release" as meaning "only expects one more release in September", because I didn't imagine a minor version is released after EOL.

If possible, I was happy if I saw "only expects one more release in November" or "on a regular schedule".
