5.3.4

Changes

  • PostgreSQL versions 15.4, 14.9, 13.12, 12.16, and 11.21 are now available.
  • Patroni is now at version 3.1.0.
  • pgBackrest is now at version 2.47.
  • pgBouncer is now at version 1.19.1.

Fixes

  • PostgresClusters that do not request huge pages can now be restored on nodes with huge pages.

5.3.3

Changes

  • The pgaudit_analyze tool is deprecated and may be removed in a future release.

Fixes

  • Backup jobs for S3-compatible object storage repositories would fail with a message about config hash mismatch. This is now fixed.

5.3.2

Fixes

  • PostgresClusters that do not request huge pages can now initialize on nodes with huge pages. Kubernetes container runtimes still configure cgroups incorrectly in these cases, but initdb no longer crashes.

5.3.1

This release contains new component and Postgres versions, but no additional fixes or changes.

5.3.0

Features

  • PostgreSQL 15 support.
  • Enable TLS for the PostgreSQL exporter using the new spec.monitoring.pgmonitor.exporter.customTLSSecret field.
  • Configure pgBackRest for IPv6 environments using the postgres-operator.crunchydata.com/pgbackrest-ip-version annotation.
  • Configure the TTL for pgBackRest backup Jobs.
  • Use Helm's OCI registry capability to install Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes.

Changes

  • JIT is now explicitly disabled for the monitoring user, allowing users to opt-into using JIT elsewhere in the database without impacting exporter functionality. Contributed by Kirill Petrov (@chobostar).
  • PGO now logs both stdout and stderr when running a SQL file referenced via spec.databaseInitSQL during database initialization. Contributed by Jeff Martin (@jmartin127).
  • The pgnodemx and pg_stat_statements extensions are now automatically upgraded.
  • The postgres-startup init container now logs an error message if the version of PostgreSQL installed in the image does not match the PostgreSQL version specified using spec.postgresVersion.
  • Limit the monitoring user to local connections using SCRAM authentication. Contributed by Scott Zelenka (@szelenka)
  • Skip a scheduled backup when the prior one is still running. Contributed by Scott Zelenka (@szelenka)
  • ThedataSource.volumes migration strategy had been improved to better handle PGDATA directories with invalid permissions and a missing postgresql.conf file.

Fixes

  • A psycopg2 error is no longer displayed when connecting to a database using pgAdmin 4.
  • With the exception of the --repo option itself, PGO no longer prevents users from specifying pgBackRest options containing the string "repo" (e.g. --repo1-retention-full).
  • PGO now properly filters Jobs by namespace when reconciling restore or data migrations Job, ensuring PostgresClusters with the same name can be created within different namespaces.
  • The Major PostgreSQL Upgrades API (PGUpgrade) now properly handles clusters that have various extensions enabled.
