What

Adds a Recent minor version rollouts subsection to the Postgres version support policy page, under Minor releases.

That section already notes new minor versions are usually available within a few days of the official Postgres release date. This adds a short, dated table showing when recent community minor releases became available on Neon.

Changes

  • content/docs/postgresql/postgres-version-policy.md — adds the subsection (a four-row table and two clarifying sentences).

Adds a customer-facing page recording how quickly recent PostgreSQL
community minor releases became available on Neon computes, plus a nav
entry under Products > Postgres between "Version support" and "Upgrade".

The page is the evidence behind the fast-minor-adoption promise in the
version support policy; it links to the policy rather than restating it.

Request Review

…meline

Addresses cross-vendor review of #5603:

- Scope the speed claim to the three most recent on-schedule batches
  (within five days), matching the summary frontmatter, and point at the
  notes for the exceptions. The previous wording claimed "recent
  on-schedule releases" landed within a week, which the November 2025 row
  (21 days) contradicts.
- Stop asserting that every community release is independently rebuilt and
  rolled out, which the August 2025 batch contradicts. The no-request /
  no-maintenance-window point is unchanged.
- "typically require no action from you", since the next sentence covers
  the rare application-dependent case.

…olicy page

Adds a "Recent minor version rollouts" subsection to the existing Postgres
version support policy page, inside "Minor releases". It records when recent
community minor releases became available on Neon, as the evidence behind the
section's existing claim that new minors land at or near the official release
date.

This replaces the earlier standalone-page design: the standalone
postgres-minor-version-timeline.md page and its navigation.yaml entry are
removed, so navigation.yaml is back to its original state and the timeline
lives on the policy page instead.

#### Recent minor version rollouts

The table below shows when recent Postgres releases become available on Neon. The three most recent on-schedule community releases each reached Neon within five days of the announcement.

Not sure we want the second sentence...doesn't add much value. If we want to say something beyond the table perhaps "Neon aims to make new minors available within one week of community release."

Minor suggestion but no need to block on me.

Neon does not support skipping minor releases or downgrading to a previous minor release.
