The CloudNativePG Community is excited to announce the second release candidate of CloudNativePG 1.26.0!

This release addresses a couple of issues identified during the first round of large-scale testing—particularly in the areas of major upgrades and the Barman Cloud plugin. You can find the complete list of changes in the 1.26.0 RC2 release notes.

We’d like to thank everyone who participated in the preview program and provided valuable feedback. Your input has been instrumental in shaping this release.

We kindly ask for your continued support in testing 1.26.0 RC2 in your non-production environments. Your feedback will help us finalise a robust and stable release and ensure that CloudNativePG 1.26 continues to set the standard for PostgreSQL on Kubernetes.

Learn more about testing and contributing.

Testing

The stability of every CloudNativePG release depends on active community involvement. By testing this release candidate against your workloads, you help us catch bugs and regressions early.
