PostgreSQL 19 official release postponed to November 19

The PostgreSQL team announced that PostgreSQL 19, originally scheduled for release on October 29, has been postponed to November 19, and an additional RC2 candidate version will be added on November 12 to verify the relatively many fixes recently added to the various maintenance branches. Core committer Peter Eisentraut explained that about 8 to 10 important features were withdrawn during the Beta phase, and many of these issues were discovered in a concentrated manner by large-model-assisted code review and fuzz testing, and might otherwise have gradually surfaced only over the next 5 years. He said that most of these issues were not caused by vibe coding, but rather that the new review capabilities raised the effective quality threshold, and that when developers face dozens of defect reports, the time for human confirmation and fixing has become the bottleneck.
