The CloudNativePG Community is pleased to announce the release of CloudNativePG Operator versions 1.27.1, 1.26.2, and 1.25.4.

Version 1.25.4 is the final patch release for the 1.25.x series, which is now unsupported.

These maintenance releases deliver important bug fixes and stability improvements, ensuring your PostgreSQL clusters continue to run reliably in production environments.

While the patch releases focus on stability, the 1.27.1 release introduces a few key changes:

• PostgreSQL 18 Support: Support for PostgreSQL 18 has been introduced, and the default version is now 18.0-system-trixie. This update also adopts the new format for postgres-containers, postgis-containers, and pgbouncer-containers images.
• Barman Cloud Support: The decommissioning of native in-core support for Barman Cloud has been delayed until at least version 1.29.
• Monitoring Deprecation: The monitoring.enablePodMonitor field in the Cluster and Pooler resources has been deprecated. If you rely on PodMonitor resources, you should start planning to create them manually, as this field will be removed in a future release.

We encourage all users to upgrade to benefit from these enhancements.

Upgrade guidance

We recommend upgrading to 1.27.1 to benefit from the latest features, enhancements, and long-term stability.

If you’re on 1.26.x, upgrade to 1.26.2 to get the latest fixes in that series. Users on the 1.25.x series should plan an upgrade to a supported version.

Follow the upgrade instructions for a smooth transition.
