Versions
PostgreSQL releases a major version once a year (usually in September). Major versions are supported for 5 years after release, with minor versions released every quarter (Nov, Feb, May, Aug) to apply security fixes.
Since version 10, the major version has been a single number. Before this, it was 2 numbers e.g. 9.6.
