EDB Postgres for Kubernetes 1.18.11 release notes v1
We are in the process of migrating the documentation from the previous EDB Postgres for Kubernetes name to the new EDB CloudNativePG Cluster name. You may see references to both names in this documentation.
Released: 22 Mar 2024
EDB Postgres for Kubernetes version 1.18.11 is an LTS release of EDB Postgres for Kubernetes; there is no corresponding upstream release of CloudNativePG.
This release of EDB Postgres for Kubernetes includes the following:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Allow customization of the wal_level GUC in PostgreSQL (#4020). |
| Enhancement | Added the cnpg.io/skipWalArchiving annotation to disable WAL archiving when set to enabled (#4055). |
| Enhancement | Enriched the cnpg plugin for kubectl with the publication and subscription command groups to imperatively set up PostgreSQL native logical replication (#4052). |
| Enhancement | Allow customization of CERTIFICATE_DURATION and EXPIRING_CHECK_THRESHOLD for automated management of TLS certificates handled by the operator (#3686). |
| Enhancement | Now retrieves the correct architecture's binary from the corresponding catalog in the running operator image during in-place updates, enabling the operator to inject the correct binary into any Pod with a supported architecture (#3840). |
| Security | Now uses Role instead of ClusterRole for operator permissions in OLM, requiring fewer privileges when installed on a per-namespace basis (#3855, #3990). |
| Security | Now enforces fully-qualified object names in SQL queries for the PgBouncer pooler (#4080). |
| Bug fix | Now properly synchronizes PVC group labels with those on the pods, a critical aspect when all pods are deleted and the operator needs to decide which Pod to recreate first (#3930). |
| Bug fix | Now disables wal_sender_timeout when cloning a replica to prevent timeout errors due to slow connections (#4080). |
| Bug fix | Now ensures that backups are ready before initiating recovery bootstrap procedures, preventing an error condition where recovery with incomplete backups could enter an error loop (#3663). |
| Bug fix | Resolve a corner case in hibernation where the instance pod has been deleted, but the cluster status still has the hibernation condition set to false (#3970). |
| Bug fix | Correctly detect Google Cloud capabilities for Barman Cloud (#3931). |
| Update | Set the default operand image to PostgreSQL 16.2 (#3823). |
