Add new instructions for PostgreSQL news and include a sample.
It is no longer possible to pull news source from the PostgreSQL website so add a sample in the doc directory. Update the release instructions to reflect this change. Also note that it is no longer necessary to post separately to pgsql-announce.

**May 3, 2021**: [Crunchy Data](https://www.crunchydata.com) is pleased to announce the release of [pgBackRest](https://pgbackrest.org/) 2.33, the latest version of the reliable, easy-to-use backup and restore solution that can seamlessly scale up to the largest databases and workloads.
|
||||
|
||||
pgBackRest has recently introduced many exciting new features including multiple repository support, GCS support for repository storage, automatic temporary S3 credentials, repository list/get commands, and page checksum error reporting.
|
||||
|
||||
pgBackRest supports a robust set of features for managing your backup and recovery infrastructure, including: parallel backup/restore, full/differential/incremental backups, multiple repositories, delta restore, parallel asynchronous archiving, per-file checksums, page checksums (when enabled) validated during backup, multiple compression types, encryption, partial/failed backup resume, backup from standby, tablespace and link support, S3/Azure/GCS support, backup expiration, local/remote operation via SSH, flexible configuration, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
You can install pgBackRest from the [PostgreSQL Yum Repository](https://yum.postgresql.org/) or the [PostgreSQL APT Repository](https://apt.postgresql.org). Source code can be downloaded from [releases](https://github.com/pgbackrest/pgbackrest/releases).
|
||||
|
||||
## Major New Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple Repository Support
|
||||
|
||||
Backups already provide redundancy by creating an offline copy of a PostgreSQL cluster that can be used in disaster recovery. Multiple repositories allow multiple copies of backups and WAL archives in separate locations to increase redundancy and provide even more protection for valuable data. See [User Guide](https://pgbackrest.org/user-guide.html#multi-repo) and [Blog](https://blog.crunchydata.com/blog/introducing-pgbackrest-multiple-repository-support).
|
||||
|
||||
### GCS Support for Repository Storage
|
||||
|
||||
Repositories may now be located on Google Cloud Storage using service key authentication. See [User Guide](https://pgbackrest.org/user-guide.html#gcs-support) and [Blog](https://blog.crunchydata.com/blog/announcing-google-cloud-storage-gcs-support-for-pgbackrest).
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Temporary S3 Credentials
|
||||
|
||||
Temporary credentials will automatically be retrieved when a role with the required permissions is associated with an instance in AWS. See [User Guide](https://pgbackrest.org/user-guide.html#s3-support).
|
||||
|
||||
### Repository List/Get Commands
|
||||
|
||||
The `repo-ls` and `repo-get` commands allow the contents of any repository to be listed and fetched, respectively, regardless of which storage type is used for the repository. See [Command Reference](https://pgbackrest.org/command.html).
|
||||
|
||||
### Page Checksum Error Reporting
|
||||
|
||||
Page checksum errors are included when getting detailed information for a backup using the `--set` option of the `info` command. See [Command Reference](https://pgbackrest.org/command.html#command-info).
