Is it just selection bias from posted links on HN, or has the PostgreSQL team been doing many (feature) releases lately?

Sounds good!

I think more like the former -- as I recall, the recent articles have mostly been about specific work going on for the 9.6 release, prereleases of 9.6, and now the actual release of 9.6.

There's still only one major PostgreSQL release per year. There were a few posts about cool stuff built on top of PostgreSQL, a few posts about progress of the 9.6 development (e.g. when the parallel query got committed) etc.

Well, due to the delayed 9.5 release (January 7th), there have been two this year ;)

Well, that really depends on where exactly you place start of a year ;-)

Chinese New Year was February 8, 2016. Orthodox New Year was January 14, 2016. So it's 2:1 for me.

Well, to the best of my knowledge I think PostgreSQL currently only supports Gregorian calendar system ... ;)
