+The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces that the first release
+candidate of PostgreSQL 15 is now available for download. As a release
+candidate, PostgreSQL 15 RC 2 will be mostly identical to the initial release of
+PostgreSQL 15, though some more fixes may be applied prior to the general
+availability of PostgreSQL 15.
+
+The planned date for the general availability of PostgreSQL 15 is still
+October 13, 2022, but may be pushed to October 20, 2022 based on what issues are
+reported. Please see the "Release Schedule" section for more details.
+
+Upgrading to PostgreSQL 15 RC 2
+-------------------------------
+
+To upgrade to PostgreSQL 15 RC 2 from earlier versions of PostgreSQL, you will
+need to use a major version upgrade strategy, e.g. `pg_upgrade` or
+`pg_dump` / `pg_restore`. For more information, please visit the documentation
+section on [upgrading](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/static/upgrading.html):

+
+Changes Since 15 RC 1

+* Fix behavior for the `\g` command in `psql` with multi-command strings.
+* Fix memory leak in single-column sorts.
