Important changes to Community Supported Versions
We've updated our support policy to streamline our focus on one supported minor release at a time, rather than two. Additionally, we've extended the supplementary support period for the previous minor release to 3 months.
Features:
- PostgreSQL Image Catalogs: Introduced
ClusterImageCatalog
andImageCatalog
CRDs to manage operand container images based on PostgreSQL major version. This is facilitated through theCluster
's.spec.imageCatalogRef stanza
. This feature provides an alternative to the imageName option and will eventually replace it as the default method to define operand container images. - User-Defined Replication Slots: Enhanced the synchronization of physical
replication slots to cover user-defined replication slots on the primary,
via the newly introduced stanza
replicationSlots.synchronizeReplicas
. - Configuration of Pod Disruption Budgets (PDB): Introduced the
.spec.enablePDB
field to disable PDBs on the primary instance, allowing proper eviction of the pod during maintenance operations. This is particularly useful for single-instance deployments. This feature is intended to replace the node maintenance window feature.
