anybody know how quickly does RDS upgrade to newer versions of Postgres.

I'm really, really keen to use 9.5 jsonb with its insert/update changes.

While you wait, check out http://stackoverflow.com/a/23500670/229006

My plan is to rely on these functions for now, and switch to the native implementations once 9.5 is production ready on RDS.

this is so cool... thanks!!

They have a policy not to say anything or make any promises. That said, using history as a guide, it seems to take them about 2.5 months after a major release to add support.
