Upgrading to PostgreSQL 15 Beta 2
---------------------------------

To upgrade to PostgreSQL 15 Beta 2 from an earlier version of PostgreSQL,
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/15/static/upgrading.html).

Is the major version upgrade still needed if they are upgrading from 15 Beta 1?

No, but it would be required if you a upgrading from a different
version. The language attempts to be a "catch all" to account for the
different cases.

Actually, I think you do need the hard-way upgrade, because there was a
catversion bump since beta1.

Oh -- I didn't see that when I scanned the commit logs, but good to know.

Hi,

Attached is a draft of the release announcement for PostgreSQL 15 Beta
2. Please provide feedback on technical accuracy and if there are
glaring omissions.

Hardly 'glaring' but still:

'Multiples fixes' should be
'Multiple fixes'

I think this could make or break the announcement :)

Thanks for the catch -- fixed in the local copy. I'll read through again
for other typos prior to release.
