-The development cycle of a PostgreSQL major release alternates between -periods of development and periods of integration work, called commit -fests, normally one month each. Alpha releases are planned to be -produced at the end of every commit fest, thus every two months. -Since the first commit fest starts within a month from the beginning -of development altogether, early alpha releases are not indicative of -the likely feature set of the final release. +PostgreSQL 9.5 will release one alpha, followed by one or more periodic beta releases and +one or more release candidates before the final release in late 2015.
