2ndQuadrant today announced the release of Postgres-XL 10R1
[https://www.postgres-xl.org/], now available for download here:
https://www.postgres-xl.org/downloads/postgres-xl-10r1.tar.gz

Postgres-XL is a massively parallel database built on top of - and
very closely compatible with - community PostgreSQL. It supports both
Business Intelligence workloads and high-volume transactional
read/write workloads, all on the same platform.

Postgres-XL is fully open source. As we begin to move towards a fully
parallel, sharded version of core PostgreSQL, many parts of
Postgres-XL will be fed into later releases of PostgreSQL.

This major release includes most of the new features added in the
latest major PostgreSQL releases such as query parallelism (PostgreSQL
9.6) and declarative partitioning (PostgreSQL 10), now both available
in Postgres-XL 10R1. Additionally, Postgres-XL 10R1 includes several
significant performance enhancements that have been made to PostgreSQL
in the last few years.

This release introduces the following enhancements from major
PostgreSQL releases:

PostgreSQL 10

-Declarative table partitioning.
-Improved query parallelism.
-Significant general performance improvements.
-Improved monitoring and control.

PostgreSQL 9.6

- Parallel execution of sequential scans, joins, and aggregates.
- Avoid scanning pages unnecessarily during vacuum freeze operations.
- Substantial performance improvements, especially in the area of
scalability on multi-CPU-socket servers.
- Full-text search can now search for phrases (multiple adjacent words).

This new release also includes several bug fixes and enhancements that
are Postgres-XL specific. The distributed planner code has been
rewritten to utilize advances in the PostgreSQL code.
