+ PostgreSQL 9.6 Beta 1, the first beta release of the upcoming 9.6 version of PostgreSQL.
</p>
<p>
- This is an update release that fixes two security issues in
- version 9.5 as well as several bugs in all current releases.
- In particular, the 9.5.2 release disables an optimization
- present in 9.5 and newer that can lead to corruption of
- text indexes in non-C locales. Users of 9.5 should update
- as soon as convenient and REINDEX potentially corrupt indexes.
+ Please download and test the beta code with your applications, and report any issues
+ you may find.

-PostgreSQL 9.5 is now released, so there will be no additional alpha
-releases until PostgreSQL 9.6.
+There are no alpha releases in the PostgreSQL 9.6 version. The developers have
+chosen to proceed directly to <a href="/developer/beta">9.6 beta</a>.
</p>
+<!--
<p>We depend on our large community of users to test the features in alpha
releases and report issues. If you are able to contribute to PostgreSQL by
doing alpha testing, please see our
<a href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/HowToBetaTest">Alpha/Beta Testing Page.</a></p>

<p>However, betas and release candidates are meant for everyone who uses PostgreSQL to test before the full release. The process of testing these betas will help the community to identify and fix bugs prior to release.</p>
+<!--
<p>PostgreSQL 9.5.0 has been released. The first alpha or beta of 9.6 is not yet released for beta testing. Beta testing 9.6 is likely to begin in late 2016.</p>
