To my understanding, the "minor version" is the entire version *including* the last number, like 18.4 (and not only .4). In this, I seem to be in agreement with https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ To me, removing the "minor" makes the text less clear. If we change that at all, perhaps a wording like "the full version, including the minor release" would remove any ambiguity. Yours, Laurenz Albe
