+
+<p>
+10 SEPTEMBER 2012: The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces PostgreSQL 9.2, the latest release of the leader in open source databases. Since the beta release was announced in May, developers and vendors have praised it as a leap forward in performance, scalability and flexibility. Users are expected to switch to this version in record numbers.
+</p><p>
+"PostgreSQL 9.2 will ship with native JSON support, covering indexes, replication and performance improvements, and many more features. We are eagerly awaiting this release and will make it available in Early Access as soon as it’s released by the PostgreSQL community," said Ines Sombra, Lead Data Engineer, EngineYard.
+</p>
+<h3>Improved Performance and Scalability</h3>
+<p>
+"With the release of PostgreSQL 9.2, the PostgreSQL Project has significantly advanced scalability and developer flexibility to provide our customers a highly performant database for their most demanding workloads," Beverly Quarles, Solutions Manager, Business Critical Solutions Marketing at HP, said. "We are especially happy with the addition of linear scalability to 64 cores, index-only scans and reductions in CPU power consumption."
+</p><p>
+HP has adopted PostgreSQL for their remote support software and to power their HP-UX/Itanium solutions.
+</p><p>
+Improvements in vertical scalability increase PostgreSQL's ability to efficiently utilize hardware resources on larger servers. Advances in lock management, write efficiency, index-only access and other low-level operations allow PostgreSQL to handle even larger-volume workloads. Numerically, this means:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Up to 350,000 read queries per second (more than 4X faster)</li>
+<li>Index-only scans for data warehousing queries (up to 20X faster)</li>
+<li>Up to 14,000 data writes per second (5X faster)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Also, the addition of cascading replication enables users to run even larger stacks of horizontally scaled servers under PostgreSQL 9.2.
+</p><p>
+"NewsBlur, a social news reader, relies on Postgres for storing millions of sites and subscriptions. Solid and reliable for years," said Samuel Clay, founder of NewsBlur.com. "We're consistently on the bleeding edge (9.1 now, moving to 9.2 soon for the cascading replication alone) and it's been a pleasure since 8.4."
+</p>
+<h3>Flexible Developer Support</h3>
+<p>
+The flexibility of PostgreSQL is reflected in the diversity of organisations that have adopted it. For example NASA, the FAA, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Instagram all rely on it to perform mission-critical applications. Version 9.2 extends this flexibility even further by including support for Range Types and JSON, allowing developers to use PostgreSQL in completely new ways.
+</p><p>
+Range Types allow developers to create better calendaring, scientific, and financial applications. No other major SQL database supports this feature, which enables intelligent handling of blocks of time and numbers.
+</p><p>
+With PostgreSQL 9.2, query results can be returned as JSON data types. Combined with the new PL/v8 Javascript and PL/Coffee database programming extensions, and the optional HStore key-value store, users can now utilize PostgreSQL like a "NoSQL" document database, while retaining PostgreSQL's reliability, flexibility and performance.
+</p><p>
+"Native JSON support in PostgresSQL provides an efficient mechanism for creating and storing documents for web APIs. We use front-end libraries like jQuery to request tabular and tree-structured data; and the new features make it convenient and provide performance advantages in retrieving that data as JSON, " said Taras Mitran, Senior Architect, IVC Inc.

+<p>
+PostgreSQL uses the <a href="/about/licence">PostgreSQL License</a>, a BSD-like license which only requires that the licensed source code maintain its copyright and licensing information. This
+<a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/postgresql">OSI-certified license</a> is widely appreciated as flexible and business-friendly, since it does not restrict the use of PostgreSQL with commercial and proprietary applications. Together with multi-company support and public ownership of the code, our license makes PostgreSQL very popular with vendors wanting to embed a database in their own products without fear of fees, vendor lock-in, or changes in licensing terms.

+Greetings, RCs and translators!
+
+The PostgreSQL 9.2 release is coming up very very soon. As every year, it's up to you to give us the tremendous attention we get in the non-English press and blogs. This is the way that we're able to advocate PostgreSQL against companies with million-dollar marketing budgets. So thank you for making our open source PR work.
+
+Also, let me apologize in advance. This is going to be a really short deadline for translating the press releases -- I need translated versions by September 5. I'm sorry for the short notice; I've had a great deal of difficulty rounding up the quotes, which delayed getting the final release together. It's possible that the September 10 release date will get pushed back, in which case I'll let you know immediately. But right now we need to plan on a Sept. 10 release.
+
+Yes, really. Please return translations by September 5.
+
+I've attached a zip file with two files to translate:
+release.txt - plain text release for the RCs to send out in email
+presskit92.html - xhtml block for translating for the PostgreSQL.org website
+
+For those of you who are comfortable using the Git version control system, I strongly urge you to edit using git instead. We will not be using the CVS repository this year. See the document I sent eariler for instructions on how to use Git for this (and don't translate that document). If you really don't want to use Git, then please simply email me your final translated versions.
+
+presskit92.html contains places where you need to put in appropriate Regional Contact information for your language. This is under <a name="contact"></a><h2>Contacts</h2>, and the text you need to replace is the text in ALL CAPS.
+
+As usual, the beginning of the presskit is identical text to the release.txt file, just with HTML markup. Please avoid modifying any HTML tags in presskit.html, as it will be difficult for me to find and fix them in the translated versions.
+
+Many of you are translating languages where there are muliple regional contacts and translators: Spanish, German, French, Portuguese. On the Git repository, I've provided the English PR files at:
+
+
+
+... as an example of how to handle multiple RCs: all of the RCs for a language go into the presskit, and each RC has their own release.
+
+Important: all translated releases MUST be encoded in UTF8. We cannot use other encodings for the web site.
+
+Feel free to use this list to coordinate translating efforts, and to use Git to version-control your translations. Definitely use this list if you have any questions on how to translate something -- other translators will probably have it too!
+
+Also, if you are a regional contact, and have not checked/updated your contact information for 2012, please do so now by emailing me.
+
+Thanks again for helping with press translations on this short deadline, and helping make a big splash with 9.2.

+<li>Index-only scans for data warehousing queries (up to 20X faster)</li>
+<li>Up to 14,000 data writes per second (5X faster)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Also, the addition of cascading replication enables users to run even larger stacks of horizontally scaled servers under PostgreSQL 9.2.
+</p><p>
+"NewsBlur, a social news reader, relies on Postgres for storing millions of sites and subscriptions. Solid and reliable for years," said Samuel Clay, founder of NewsBlur.com. "We're consistently on the bleeding edge (9.1 now, moving to 9.2 soon for the cascading replication alone) and it's been a pleasure since 8.4."
+</p>
+<h3>Flexible Developer Support</h3>
+<p>
+The flexibility of PostgreSQL is reflected in the diversity of organisations that have adopted it. For example NASA, the FAA, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Instagram all rely on it to perform mission-critical applications. Version 9.2 extends this flexibility even further by including support for Range Types and JSON, allowing developers to use PostgreSQL in completely new ways.
+</p><p>
+Range Types allow developers to create better calendaring, scientific, and financial applications. No other major SQL database supports this feature, which enables intelligent handling of blocks of time and numbers.
+</p><p>
+With PostgreSQL 9.2, query results can be returned as JSON data types. Combined with the new PL/v8 Javascript and PL/Coffee database programming extensions, and the optional HStore key-value store, users can now utilize PostgreSQL like a "NoSQL" document database, while retaining PostgreSQL's reliability, flexibility and performance.
+</p><p>
+"Native JSON support in PostgresSQL provides an efficient mechanism for creating and storing documents for web APIs. We use front-end libraries like jQuery to request tabular and tree-structured data; and the new features make it convenient and provide performance advantages in retrieving that data as JSON, " said Taras Mitran, Senior Architect, IVC Inc.

+10 SEPTEMBER 2012: The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces PostgreSQL 9.2, the latest release of the leader in open source databases. Since the beta release was announced in May, developers and vendors have praised it as a leap forward in performance, scalability and flexibility. Users are expected to switch to this version in record numbers.
+
+"PostgreSQL 9.2 will ship with native JSON support, covering indexes, replication and performance improvements, and many more features. We are eagerly awaiting this release and will make it available in Early Access as soon as it’s released by the PostgreSQL community," said Ines Sombra, Lead Data Engineer, EngineYard.
+
+Improved Performance and Scalability
+
+"With the release of PostgreSQL 9.2, the PostgreSQL Project has significantly advanced scalability and developer flexibility to provide our customers a highly performant database for their most demanding workloads," Beverly Quarles, Solutions Manager, Business Critical Solutions Marketing at HP, said. "We are especially happy with the addition of linear scalability to 64 cores, index-only scans and reductions in CPU power consumption."
+
+HP has adopted PostgreSQL for their remote support software and to power their HP-UX/Itanium solutions.
+
+Improvements in vertical scalability increase PostgreSQL's ability to efficiently utilize hardware resources on larger servers. Advances in lock management, write efficiency, index-only access and other low-level operations allow PostgreSQL to handle even larger-volume workloads. Numerically, this means:
+
+* Up to 350,000 read queries per second (more than 4X faster)
+* Index-only scans for data warehousing queries (2–20X faster)
+* Up to 14,000 data writes per second (5X faster)
+
+Also, the addition of cascading replication enables users to run even larger stacks of horizontally scaled servers under PostgreSQL 9.2.
+
+"NewsBlur, a social news reader, relies on Postgres for storing millions of sites and subscriptions. Solid and reliable for years," said Samuel Clay, founder of NewsBlur.com. "We're consistently on the bleeding edge (9.1 now, moving to 9.2 soon for the cascading replication alone) and it's been a pleasure since 8.4."
+
