Amazon Aurora now supports PostgreSQL 14

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition now supports PostgreSQL major version 14 (14.3). [PostgreSQL 14](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/release-14.html) includes performance improvements for parallel queries, heavily-concurrent workloads, partitioned tables, logical replication, and vacuuming. PostgreSQL 14 also improves functionality with new capabilities. For example, you can cancel long-running queries if a client disconnects and you can close idle sessions if they time out. Range types now support multiranges, allowing representation of non-contiguous data ranges, and stored procedures can now return data via OUT parameters. This release includes new features for [Babelfish for Aurora PostgreSQL](/rds/aurora/babelfish/) version 2.1\. Please refer to [Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL updates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraPostgreSQLReleaseNotes/AuroraPostgreSQL.Updates.html#AuroraPostgreSQL.Updates.20180305.143X) for more information.
