+<a name="original_release"></a><h2>Original Press Release</h2>
+
+<p>XX SEPTEMBER 2017 - The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today announced
+ the release of PostgreSQL 10, the latest version of the world's most
+ advanced open source database.</p>
+
+<p>A critical feature of modern workloads is the ability to distribute data
+ across many nodes for faster access, management, and analysis, which is
+ also known as a "divide and conquer" strategy. The PostgreSQL
+ 10 release includes significant enhancements to effectively implement the
+ divide and conquer strategy, including native logical replication,
+ declarative table partitioning, and improved query parallelism.</p>
+
+<p>"Our developer community focused on building features that would take
+ advantage of modern infrastructure setups for distributing workloads,"
+ said Magnus Hagander, a <a href="/developer/core/">core team</a> member of the
+ <a href="/">PostgreSQL Global Development Group</a>. "Features such as
+ logical replication and improved query parallelism represent years of work and
+ demonstrate the continued dedication of the community to ensuring Postgres
+ leadership as technology demands evolve."
+</p>
+
+<p>This release also marks the change of the versioning scheme for PostgreSQL
+ to a "x.y" format. This means the next minor release of
+ PostgreSQL will be 10.1 and the next major release will be 11.</p>
+
+<b>Logical Replication - A publish/subscribe framework for distributing data</b>
+
+<p>Logical replication extends the current replication features of PostgreSQL
+ with the ability to send modifications on a per-database and per-table level
+ to different PostgreSQL databases. Users can now fine-tune the data
+ replicated to various database clusters and will have the ability to perform
+ zero-downtime upgrades to future major PostgreSQL versions.</p>
+
+<p>"We have been heavily using PostgreSQL since 9.3 and are very excited
+ about version 10 since it brings basis for long-awaited partitioning and
+ built-in logical replication. It will allow us to use PostgreSQL in even more
+ services," said Vladimir Borodin, DBA Team Lead at
+ <a href="https://www.yandex.com/" target="_blank">Yandex</a>.</p>
+
+<b>Declarative Table Partitioning - Convenience in dividing your data</b>
+
+<p>Table partitioning has existed for years in PostgreSQL but required a user
+ to maintain a nontrivial set of rules and triggers for the partitioning to
+ work. PostgreSQL 10 introduces a table partitioning syntax that lets users
+ easily create and maintain range and list partitioned tables. The addition of
+ the partitioning syntax is the first step in a series of planned features to
+ provide a robust partitioning framework within PostgreSQL.</p>
+
+<b>Improved Query Parallelism - Quickly conquer your analysis</b>
+
+<p>PostgreSQL 10 provides better support for parallelized queries by allowing
+ more parts of the query execution process to be parallelized. Improvements
+ include additional types of data scans that are parallelized as well as
+ optimizations when the data is recombined, such as pre-sorting. These
+ enhancements allow results to be returned more quickly.</p>
+
+<b>Quorum Commit for Synchronous Replication - Distribute data with confidence</b>
+
+<p>PostgreSQL 10 introduces quorum commit for synchronous replication, which
+ allows for flexibility in how a primary database receives acknowledgement that
+ changes were successfully written to remote replicas. An administrator can
+ now specify that if any number of replicas has acknowledged that a change to
+ the database has been made, then the data can be considered safely written.
+</p>
+
+<p>"Quorum commit for synchronous replication in PostgreSQL 10 gives more
+ options to extend our ability to promote database infrastructure with nearly
+ zero downtime from the application perspective. This allows us to continuously
+ deploy and update our database infrastructure without incurring long
+ maintenance windows," said Curt Micol, Staff Infrastructure Engineer at
+ <a href="https://www.simple.com/" target="_blank">Simple Finance</a>.</p>
+
+<b>SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication - Secure your data access</b>
+
+<p>The Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) defined in
+ <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5802" target="_blank">RFC5802</a>
+ defines a protocol to improve upon the secure storage and transmission of
+ passwords by providing a framework for strong password negotiation.
+ PostgreSQL 10 introduces the SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication method, defined in
+ <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7677" target="_blank">RFC7677</a>, to
+ provide better security than the existing MD5-based password authentication
+ method.</p>

+<p>
+PostgreSQL uses the <a href="/about/licence/">PostgreSQL License</a>, a BSD-like
+"permissive" license. 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.
