I am following the link to download PG19 provided in release notes (https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-19-beta-1- released-3313/ <https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-19- beta-1-released-3313/>) , however can't see PG19 listed in the list 'Select Version' list. See screenshot.

Is the download link in release notes correct or we have not added version 19 yet on download page  ?
Historically, we haven't put the beta packages in the download page dropdowns to reduce the risk of people installing the beta in production (and possibly other reasons). Info on installing the beta packages is available on the package repo homepages[1][2]. From the main downloads page there's a section called "Beta/RC releases" that goes to a page with more specific instructions on how to get there[3].

That said, I wouldn't be opposed to adding a line on the yum/apt postgresql.org download pages that says something like "if you're looking for beta/rc packages, click here" that goes to [3]. I don't know if I'd want to keep it up past the beta period, since that portion fo the download pages is to drive stable downloads, but I'm fine w/making it less confusing.

Thanks,

Jonathan
