## :up: UPGRADE

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.19.0-rc5/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

> IMPORTANT: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

Thank you for all the issues created, ideas, and code contributions by the StackGres Community!

# :rocket: Release 1.19.0-rc4 (2026-07-17)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.19.0-rc4 is out! :confetti_ball: :champagne: 

> This release candidate change the supported Kubernetes version range to 1.25 onwards (previously 1.18 onwards). On Kubernetes 1.25 to 1.27 make sure the ProbeTerminationGracePeriod feature gate is not disabled (it is enabled by default); it is GA from 1.28.
> The default Patroni ttl changed from `30` to `45` seconds. This also affects existing clusters that have not set an explicit ttl value, and applies to them immediately after the operator upgrade (it is Patroni dynamic configuration). It may add up to approximately 15 seconds to TTL-driven failover after a hard primary loss. If you have copied the previous default ttl 30 explicitly into your SGCluster spec, remove it or raise it to at least 45: with the new probe timings it no longer guarantees fencing before leader-lock expiry.
> The liveness probe defaults are tighter (periodSeconds 5, timeoutSeconds 2, failureThreshold 3, probe-level terminationGracePeriodSeconds 3). A false-positive liveness failure (highly unlikely, and by itself a red flag, it means Patroni failed three consecutive liveness probes, a nominal worst-case detection latency of about 17 seconds after the fault) now allows only 3 seconds for clean termination and may therefore cause Postgres crash recovery (which is safe). Clusters running under tight CPU limits with sustained saturation should consider relaxing the liveness probe timings and raising ttl accordingly (see https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/administration/patroni/fencing/).
> The patroni container liveness probe now always starts with initialDelaySeconds 0: the startup probe owns the startup window, so any initialDelaySeconds set in SGCluster.spec.pods.livenessProbe is ignored (a non-zero value would reopen an unprotected post-start window and break the fencing margin).
> Probe changes modify the Pod template but do not restart any Pod automatically (the StatefulSet uses the OnDelete update strategy): they apply on the next restart of each cluster (pending-restart flow or an SGDbOps restart). The upgrade ordering is favorable: the increased ttl applies immediately while the tighter probes apply only after a restart, and that intermediate state is conservative.

So, what you are waiting for to try this release and have a look to the future of StackGres! 

## :sparkles: NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES

* Bump minimum supported Kubernetes version to 1.25
* Update components
* Update base images
* Probe Patroni's /liveness endpoint directly from the liveness probe of the patroni container, removing the cluster controller proxying, and add a startup probe to cover Patroni's startup window
* Expose the patroni container startup probe through SGCluster.spec.pods.startupProbe (and the equivalent SGShardedCluster pods sections), defaulting to the values StackGres already used
* Retune the patroni container liveness probe defaults and the default Patroni ttl so that fencing completes before leader-lock expiry

# :rocket: Release 1.19.0-rc1 (2026-06-19)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.19.0-rc1 is out! :confetti_ball: :champagne: :fireworks: 

This release brings a big revamp of SGShardedCluster: the CRD version is bumped to `stackgres.io/v1beta1`, shards are now called workers and Citus query routers support has been added. Mutation and validation of resources are now also performed in the reconciliation cycle, allowing to disable webhooks, and operator locking now relies on the Kubernetes Leases API. Patroni can now be configured to use Pods FQDN instead of Pod IP with extra network and scheduling configuration, and new storage options allow to set `volumeAttributesClassName` and I/O throttling (`io.max`) for the data persistent volume. Reconciliation is now faster and more observable thanks to new ConfigMap, Secret and endpoints watchers, configurable caching with metrics and an optional deployed SSA snapshot. Day-2 operations are also improved: restart of an SGCluster no longer requires a direct connection to Patroni instances, a replica can be restored from a backup with `patronictl reinit` and a custom restore method can be set when replicating from an external instance. Finally, the SGCluster status now advertises the latest available Postgres and extensions versions.

> IMPORTANT: SGShardedCluster fields have been renamed (in particular `shards` is now `workers`, among other field name changes). You will have to update your SGShardedCluster YAML manifests accordingly when upgrading. See the [upgrade documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/administration/upgrade/deprecated-fields/) where those changes are explained in details.

So, what you are waiting for to try this release and have a look to the future of StackGres!

* operator/dbops scripts: pass the configured options to `pg_repack`; fix double-counted sharded backup sizes (missing trailing newline); write valid-JSON status patches; replace 100% CPU busy-wait loops with sleeps; fix `to_char` month-as-minutes timestamps; parenthesize the WAL segment computation; honor the configured lease lock renewal interval; report the psql output when `pg_backup_stop` fails; export environment variables without `eval` in `exec-with-env`; remove stale extension files when relocating binaries; correct the malformed `start-pgbouncer.sh` shebang; format the pgbench sampling rate locale-independently; escape embedded quotes in pgbouncer auth file entries
* Kubernetes hardening: add hardened container security contexts (drop ALL, no privilege escalation, RuntimeDefault seccomp) to the cluster StatefulSet containers, web console, collector, extensions cache StatefulSet and helm helper Jobs (the operator Deployment was already hardened), plus resources for the extensions cache and the cluster restart Job

## Web Console

* Backups may be restored with inconsistencies when performed with a Postgres instance running on a different architecture ([#1539](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1539))

## :up: UPGRADE

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.18.4/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

> IMPORTANT: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

Thank you for all the issues created, ideas, and code contributions by the StackGres Community!

# :rocket: Release 1.18.0 (2025-11-28)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.18.0 is out! :confetti_ball: :champagne: 

Among other features this release will allow you to upgrade your clusters using a strategy and with a renewed rollout implementation that no longer relies on Jobs but is handled directly by the operator. You can still rely on SGDbOps to perform restarts, security upgrades and minor version upgrades operations or configure the clusters to preform them in an automatic fashion.

Another important change is the ability to set the version of your SGCluster or SGShardedCluster directly in the cluster resource. The final Postgres version (and the final extensions versions too) will no longer be changed by the operator, instead it will be set in the status and will be updated by the operator. This change will allow a much better integration with DevOps tools!

So, what you are waiting for! Upgrade now and have a look at the future of StackGres! 

## :sparkles: NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES

* Improved metadata and added useIAMRole to SGObjectStorage for S3
* Allow to set patroni failsafe_mode and check_timeline
* Allow to remove primary keys and not null constraints on snapshot and set metadata on Pod for SGStream
* Updated default citus versions for sharded cluster
* PostgreSQL versions 17.5, 16.9, 15.13, 14.18, 13.21 should not be advertized as bugged
* Support to re-creating the SSL cluster certificate before it expires

 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.17.3/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

> IMPORTANT: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

# :rocket: Release 1.16.0 (2025-04-14)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.16.0 reached GA! :muscle_tone1: :rocket: :rainbow: :sunny:

Less containers is better. Now you can reduce your SGCluster's Pod to only 2 containers (and just 1 init container) if you want leaner (but with less functionalities) Pods. :muscle:

A long waited functionality that removes the validation of referenced resources in Webhooks. You will no more receive messages about missing resources opening the door to a much more pleasant DevOps experience. We also tried to reduce the friction with tools like ArgoCD (still not officially supported though, please, be patient :sweat_smile:) by avoiding setting the infamous caBundle and other small changes that should improve the situation. Last but not least the creation of default resources is now handled by the operator reconciliation cycle and will not be created in the Webhook as we did before.

Setting a configuration parameter without having to create a separate SGPostgresConfig now is possible, and not only for Postgres configuration, we included setting directly Pod's resources, pooling and, now, you have the ability to modify postgres_exporter queries!

Improvements on SGStream should allow to fix some issues and make this component more useful for CDC use cases. We wait for your feedback!

Also much more functionalities and fixes where added to this release that comes strong, hoping you will enjoy it.

So, what you are waiting for? Try this release and have a look at the future of StackGres!

# :rocket: Release 1.16.0-rc1 (2025-03-19)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.16.0-rc1 has landed! :rocket: :rainbow: :sunny:

Less containers is better. Now you can reduce your SGCluster's Pod to only 2 containers (and just 1 init container) if you want leaner (but with less functionalities) Pods. :muscle:

A long waited functionality that changes a bit the validation of referenced resources in Webhooks. You will no more receive messages about missing resources opening the door to a much more pleasant DevOps experience. We also tried to reduce the friction with tools like ArgoCD (still not officially supported though, please, be patient :sweat_smile:) by avoiding setting the infamous caBundle and other small changes that should improve the situation. Last but not least the creation of default resources is now handled by the operator reconciliation cycle and will not be created in the Webhook as we did before.

Setting a configuration parameter without having to create a separate SGPostgresConfig now is possible, but not only for Postgres configuration, we included setting directly Pod's resources, pooling and, now, you have the ability to modify postgres_exporter queries!

Improvements on SGStream should allow to fix some issues and make this component more useful for CDC use cases. We wait for your feedback!

Also much more functionalities and fixes where added to this release that comes strong, hoping you will enjoy it.

So, what you are waiting for? Try this release and have a look at the future of StackGres! 

## :sparkles: NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES

* Generate default configs using reconciliation cycle
* Removed reference validation on webhook calls
* Allow to override SGInstanceProfile, SGPostgresConfig and SGPoolingConfig
* Support for Grafana v10 and v11

* Store the status of annotation signal in the PersistentVolume for SGStream
* Set the SGStream as Completed when running with a Deployment
* Support to update SGStream spec when locked or when maxRetries is not set (when using a Deployment).
* Support for skipping drop of replication slot and publication on tombstone for SGStream

* Allow to change the operator listening port, Service port and to set hostNetwork
* Added memory limiter and set resources for OTEL collector
* Avoid setting caBundle in webhooks
* Follow webhooks original ordering
* Avoid usage of nullable in CRDs

# :rocket: Release 1.15.0 (2025-02-03)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.15.0 has been released! :confetti_ball: :champagne: :soap: :tools:

## :up: UPGRADE

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.15.0-rc1/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

> IMPORTANT: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.12.0 has made it! :space_invader: :sparkles: :confetti_ball: :champagne: 

This release comes with a new shiny feature that allows to do change data capture (CDC) of your Postgres instances in an easy way with SGStream CRD! CDC provides real-time or near-real-time movement of data by moving and processing data continuously as new database events occur. In particular SGStream offer two main functionality: streaming Postgres CDC events to a CloudEvent service or moving data to another SGCluster instance. The feature is in an alpha stage so your feedback will be a great way to make it more stable.

This release also brings fixes and security features. In particular Envoy has been updated to 1.30.4 solving a bug that was haunting us for some time preventing the new version to be included. Sadly we can not upgrade to latest version of PgBouncer due to a [regression found in version 1.23.0](https://github.com/pgbouncer/pgbouncer/issues/1103), we hope to be able to include a newer version as soon as it is released.

Go on and have a look to this new release of StackGres, we hope you envoy it!

* Support SGStream from Postgres or SGCluster to SGCluster
* Allow to set Patroni callbacks, pre_promote and before_stop
* Allow to overwrite postgres binaries using customVolumeMounts under /usr/local/bin
* Add warning on setting manually backups paths in documentation

## Web Console

* SGShardedCluster REST API endpoint was overlapping managed sql sections
* pg_stat_progress_vacuum and pg_stat_progress_cluster metric is missing schema and table names
* Broken storageclasses permissions for Web Console ClusterRoles

## Web Console

* Make sure sgdbop status conditions exist before requesting its data
* Remove fixed sgconfig name
* Include default case on isDeletable header method
* Show "loading data" message while processing rest api info
* Do not use deprecated fields for envoy config

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.11.0/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

> IMPORTANT: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

# :rocket: Release 1.11.0-rc1 (2024-06-06)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.11.0-rc1 brings namespaces scoped operator! :confetti_ball: :champagne: 

You will be able to install the operator under OLM (OperatorHub / OpenShift) or with helm specifying the list of namespaces where the operator will be able to work with. It also offers the ability to disable ClusterRoles for the operator completely (with limitations in functionalities). With the exception of a ClusterRole for the Web Console / REST API if you want to still enable it.

And another load of small features and bugfixes! Do not wait, try this release and help us improve StackGres!

# :rocket: Release 1.6.0 (2023-11-13)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.6.0 is out! :confetti_ball: :champagne: 

With great pleasure and apologizing for the unexpected long wait, we are proud of this release that brings among
 other features stability and a much better installation experience thanks to the ability of the operator to
 reconfigure dynamically without the need of helm, by just modifying the new SGConfig CRD.

Pods resources configuration is quite hard and our approach was not very neat. So we decided to change it by making
 easy to know the total amount of CPU and memory that will be requested by the Pod using `SGInstanceProfile.spec.requests.cpu`
 and `SGInstanceProfile.spec.requests.memory` as the total where other sidecars will subtract their respective amounts in order
 to leave the rest for the postgres (patroni) container. Existing resources will still use the previous method to calculate the
 requests (we provided the flag `SGCluster.spec.pods.resources.disableResourcesRequestsSplitFromTotal` if you still want to use
 such method). Limits will still works as expected with `SGInstanceProfile.spec.cpu` and `SGInstanceProfile.spec.memory`
 targeting the patroni container only.

We could not leave the sharded clusters without backups and 2 day operation so we created a bunch of them in order to deal with
 restarts, resharding and be able to restore from a backup.

And this is yet not over do not wait any more and try out this new shining release of StackGres to find out many other new features,
 stability improvements and bug fixes!

# :rocket: StackGres 1.5.0 GA (2023-07-03)

The Postgres You Love :heart_eyes:, At Any Scale :sparkles:

We are thrilled to announce the release of StackGres 1.5.0! This update brings a host of new features, enhancements, and optimizations, further solidifying StackGres as the go-to solution for running your mission-critical Postgres workloads on Kubernetes. Let's dive into the exciting highlights of this release:

1. :fire: Sharding Cluster Support:

    StackGres 1.5.0 introduces seamless integration with Citus and Patroni, empowering you to scale your Postgres database horizontally. Now you can effortlessly shard your clusters, distributing data across multiple nodes for improved performance, scalability, and fault tolerance.

    Citus uses a technique called sharding to divide your data into smaller, manageable pieces called shards. Each shard contains a subset of your data and is stored on a separate node within the cluster. Sharding allows for parallel processing of queries and efficient data storage across multiple machines.
    When you execute a query, Citus intelligently routes the query to the relevant shards. It analyzes the query and determines which shards hold the necessary data to process the request. By distributing the workload across multiple nodes, Citus enables parallel query execution, leading to faster query performance.

    Citus provides a scalable and distributed database solution by leveraging PostgreSQL's powerful extensibility. It enables you to handle large datasets, process complex queries, and achieve high performance by harnessing the capabilities of a distributed cluster architecture, as you can add more nodes to your cluster to accommodate increasing data volumes or user traffic.

    A new CRD called `SGShardedCluster` will bring you the power of sharding by creating multiple SGClusters that will behave like a single one. This also features an automated SSL/TLS support by default on sharded clusters.

    StackGres provides with the `SGShardedCluster` a fault tolerance HA solution on each shard (as well as the coordinators) so that any failed node will be automatically recovered as if one node goes down, the other nodes can still continue serving your application.

    The Web Console has also been updated with first-class support for this feature, try it out :wink:.

    | :warning: WARNING          |
    |:---------------------------|
    | The feature is still in alpha so you might expect breaking changes in the CRD, if you encounter any issue please report it and we will provide a fix. Also, 2 day operations are currently not supported and will be implemented in 1.6 release. |

2. :elephant: Updated Postgres and components:

    In this release, we have updated the Postgres engine to the latest minor versions supported up to 15.3, 14.8, and 13.11, incorporating the latest advancements and bug fixes from the PostgreSQL community. This upgrade brings improved performance, enhanced security features, and better compatibility with the latest Postgres ecosystem. Also, we have updated Babelfish for PostgreSQL to the latest release 2.3.0 so you can continue experimenting with this SQL Server alternative with expanded language support, improved compatibility and bug fixes and stability improvements.

3. :anchor: Compatibility with Kubernetes 1.27 and 1.26:

    StackGres is now fully compatible with Kubernetes versions 1.27 and 1.26. This means you can confidently deploy and manage StackGres in Kubernetes clusters running these specific versions, taking advantage of their features and improvements.

4. :arrows_counterclockwise: Transition from Docker.io to Quay.io Container Registry:

     Due to Docker.io imposing lower download rate-limits, we are transitioning from Docker.io to Quay.io as our preferred container registry.

5. :bug: Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements:

    As part of our commitment to delivering a reliable and stable database solution, we have addressed reported issues and incorporated bug fixes in StackGres 1.5.0. The update offers enhanced stability, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted experience for your critical workloads.

### Call to action

We encourage all users to upgrade to StackGres 1.5.0 to take advantage of these exciting new features and enhancements. We value your feedback and suggestions, so please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team with any questions or comments. Join us on our [Slack](https://slack.stackgres.io/)/[Discord](https://discord.stackgres.io/) to share any comments or to get help from [StackGres Community](https://stackgres.io/community/). 

Thank you for choosing StackGres as your trusted Postgres database stack. We remain dedicated to providing top-notch performance, security, and scalability for your data needs.

Thank you for all the issues created, ideas, and code contributions by the StackGres Community!

Enjoy the power of StackGres 1.5.0!

The StackGres Team

## :up: Upgrade

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) Helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.5.0/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

#### :exclamation: IMPORTANT
After each operator upgrade, remember to perform a security upgrade SGDbOps on each existing SGCluster after the operator has been upgraded.

Example:
```yaml
apiVersion: stackgres.io/v1
kind: SGDbOps
metadata:
  name: secupgr
spec:
  sgCluster: my-cluster
  op: securityUpgrade
  maxRetries: 1
  securityUpgrade:
    method: InPlace
```

> :warning: NOTE: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

# :rocket: Release 1.5.0-rc2 (28-06-2023)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.5.0-rc2  open the door to horizontal scaling by leveraging [Citus support from Patroni](https://patroni.readthedocs.io/en/master/citus.html).

A new CRD called SGShardedCluster will bring you the power of sharding by creating multiple SGClusters that will behave like a single one.
 The feature is still in alpha so you might expect breaking changes in the CRD.

* Backups may be restored with inconsistencies when performed with a Postgres instance running on a different architecture ([#1539](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1539))

## :up: UPGRADE

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.5.0-rc2/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

> IMPORTANT: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

Thank you for all the issues created, ideas, and code contributions by the StackGres Community!

# :rocket: Release 1.4.0 (2022-11-23)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.4.0 is out, prepared to help in recovering from a disaster and to hook into the cluster by adding your own custom containers. :confetti_ball: :sos: :alien: :gift_heart:

This release also introduce more support for typical Kubernetes scheduling configuration by adding support for node labels, tolerations, node affinity, pod affinity, pod anty affinity and topology spread constraints on all the Pods generated by the operator.

Also, major version upgrade include the most wanted best-effort rollback feature so you will not have to recover a crashed major version upgrade manually if you do not specify any destructive option like using clone or link. The check option also changes the operation so that the upgrade will not be performed at all but only checks will run. And, last but not least, the operation now also performs a cleanup so that the old data will be wiped out when the operation completes successfully and the primary Pod reach the Ready state.

So, what you are waiting for to try this beta release and have a look to the future of StackGres!

## :up: UPGRADE

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.4.0/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

> IMPORTANT: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

Thank you for all the issues created, ideas, and code contributions by the StackGres Community!

## :twisted_rightwards_arrows: [FULL LIST OF COMMITS](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/commits/1.4.0)

# :rocket: Release 1.4.0-RC2 (2022-11-22)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.4.0-RC2 is out, prepared to help in recovering from a disaster and to hook into the cluster by adding your own custom containers. :confetti_ball: :sos: :alien: :gift_heart:

This release also introduce more support for typical Kubernetes scheduling configuration by adding support for node labels, tolerations, node affinity, pod affinity, pod anty affinity and
 topology spread constraints on all the Pods generated by the operator.

Also, major version upgrade include the most wanted best-effort rollback feature so you will not have to recover a crashed major version upgrade manually if you do not specify any destructive
 option like using clone or link. The check option also changes the operation so that the upgrade will not be performed at all but only checks will run. And, last but not least, the operation
 now also performs a cleanup so that the old data will be wiped out when the operation completes successfully and the primary Pod reach the Ready state.

So, what you are waiting for to try this beta release and have a look to the future of StackGres!

## :twisted_rightwards_arrows: [FULL LIST OF COMMITS](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/commits/1.3.3)

# :rocket: Release 1.3.2 (2022-10-14)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.3.2 brings some security improvements and fixes. In particular it comes to fix an issue related to how SGInstanceProfile custom resource works for version 1.3 by applying resource requirements and limits to all the StackGres generated Pods. Due to some default settings that were too conservative for containers some functionalities were broken for some users (in particular for backups and postgres exporter memory was set too low making some Pods getting killed by the OOM killer).
Also a bug in the Web Console that, when editing a StackGres custom resource (and other resources), changed some fields that are not yet implemented there. In particular, the latter bug removed a non production option flag set during operator upgrade that prevented existing cluster from from avoiding following the new behavior of resources requirements for the StackGres Pod's that apply to sidecars increasing the actual requirements of a Pod following the new `.spec.containers` and `.spec.initContainers` section of the SGInstanceProfile resource. If you had upgraded to 1.3.0 or 1.3.1 and your SGCluster's Pods can not restart due to resources not being available consider setting to `true` the field `.spec.nonProductionOptions.disableClusterResourceRequirements` to revert to the same behavior prior version 1.3 where resource requirements only affect the patroni container.

## :sparkles: NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES

* Increased default memory limits and requests requirements for some Pod and sidecars
* Lower the resource requirements for containers other than patroni to only set resource requests and not limits by default (resource limits can still be set for those containers by configuration)

### Web Console

Nothing new here! :eyes: 

## :bug: FIXES

* Default SGScript is not created for SGCluster with version previous to 1.3
* Event of missing SGBackupConfig is sent even if backup is working as expected
* Avoid errors for old versions of a SGBackup, SGDbOps and SGScript
* Field `.spec.pods.managementPolicy` is not implemented in the REST API
* Cluster crash-Loop due to permission change in data dir

### Web Console

*  Babelfish Compass had a cross site script issue that prevent it from functioning
*  When editing a resource unknown fields values are not preserved

# :rocket: Release 1.3.0 (2022-08-23)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.3.0 is out and something is changed!! Thanks to all our growing community for all the feedback they are providing, StackGres is better also thanks to you!! :tada: :cyclone: :top: :heartpulse: 

*IMPORTANT*: PostgreSQL 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and 14.3 had an issue with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY that could cause silent data corruption of indexes. 
 Please upgrade to PostgreSQL 14.5 as soon as possible to avoid any corruption of your data. For more info see https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-144-released-2470/.

*IMPORTANT*: We have introduced a possible breaking change for your deployment since we replaced the `SGBackupConfig` CRD with the `SGObjectStorage` CRD. All your existing clusters will continue to work since the upgrade process
 will take care of converting `SGBackupConfig` CRs to the new `SGObjectStorage` CRs and apply the required changes to the `SGCluster` CRs. The change was needed in order to introduce more functionality in the next releases, but for
 now, the only difference is that `SGObjectStorage` will contain only the `.spec.storage` part of the previous `SGBackupConfig`. Also, the backup configuration in the `SGCluster` is moved to the section `.spec.configurations.backups` where you will be able to set the referenced `SGObjectStorage` and configure the automatic backup properties. Please make sure your deployment code reflects the changes introduced by the upgrade by changing the `.spec.configurations`
 section and converting the `SGBackupConfig` into an `SGObjectStorage`.

Before this release, you had to set SQL scripts at initialization, but now you will be able to change and add them live. Also, scripts will be re-usable since they are now stored in the new SGScript CRD.

When a new cluster is created you will be able to set resource requirements for all the StackGres Pod's containers using the new sections `.spec.containers` and `.spec.initContainers`. Those sections are pre-filled with default values
 and you may disable this behavior by setting to `true` the field `.spec.nonProductionOptions.disableClusterResourceRequirements` in the `SGCluster` and `SGDistributedLogs` CRs.

## :up: UPGRADE

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.1 version or above) helm chart issue the following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

`helm upgrade -n "stackgres" "stackgres-operator" https://stackgres.io/downloads/stackgres-k8s/stackgres/1.3.0/helm/stackgres-operator.tgz`

> IMPORTANT: This release is incompatible with previous `alpha` or `beta` versions. Upgrading from those versions will require uninstalling completely StackGres including all clusters and StackGres CRDs (those in `stackgres.io` group) first.

Thank you for all the issues created, ideas, and code contributions by the StackGres Community!

# :rocket: Release 1.3.0-RC1 (2022-08-16)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

StackGres 1.3.0-RC1 is out and something is changed!! Thanks to all our growing community for all the feedback they are providing, StackGres is better also thank to you!! :tada: :cyclone: :top: :heartpulse: 

*IMPORTANT*: PostgreSQL 14.0, 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 had an issue with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY that could cause silent data corruption of indexes. 
 Please upgrade to PostgreSQL 14.4 as soon as possible to avoid any corruption to your data. For more info see https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-144-released-2470/.

*IMPORTANT*: We have introduced a possible breaking change for your deployment since we replaced the `SGBackupConfig` CRD with the `SGObjectStorage` CRD. All your existing clusters will continue to work since the upgrade process
 will take care of converting `SGBackupConfig` CRs to the new `SGObjectStorage` CRs and apply the required changes into the `SGCluster` CRs. The change was needed in order to introduce more functionality in next releases, but for
 now the only difference is that `SGObjectStorage` will contain only the `.spec.storage` part of the previous `SGBackupConfig`. Also the backup configuration in the `SGCluster` is moved to the section `.spec.configurations.backups`
 where you will be able to set the referenced `SGObjectStorage` and configure the automatic backup properties. Please, make sure your deployment code reflect the changes introduced by the upgrade by changing the `.spec.configurations`
 section and converting the `SGBackupConfig` into an `SGObjectStorage`.

Before this release you had to set SQL scripts at initialization, but now you will be able to change and add them live. Also scripts will be re-usable since they are now stored in the new SGScript CRD.

# :rocket: Release 1.2.0-beta1 (2022-03-23)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

Here comes StackGres 1.2.0-beta1 the brings more fishy stuffs and let you be the first by not letting you lose even a bit of info!! :first_place: :fishing_pole_and_fish: :tada: :bottle_with_popping_cork:

The day has come, never more lose a single commit by enabling synchronous replication and add dedicated instances to be readonly. Also try out the Babelfish Compass application from StackGres Web UI and check if your SQLServer schema is compatible with Babelfish for Postgres!

## :sparkles: NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES

* Support for synchronous replication
* Support for replication groups
* New Babelfish Compass application integrated in the Web UI
* Removed support for StackGres 0.9
* When SGCluster requires upgrade PendingUpgrade will be set
* Backups are now restored by name to avoid security issues
* Backups can now be copied across namespaces requiring the `.spec.sgCluster` field to be prepended the cluster name with the cluster namespace plus the `.` character so that it still points to the original cluster.
* Set `restore_command` when backup is enabled to allow replica to catch up from backup storage
* Deep validation of postgresql parameters

## Web Console

* Enhance the date picker to filter cluster logs
* Suggest default names for manual Backups and DbOps

## :bug: FIXES

* SGDbOps pgbench benchmark is not setting correctly TPS
* When SGCluster requires upgrade PendingRestart should not be set

## Web Console

* Support SGDistributedLogs retention spec on SGCluster form
* Namespace link on web console's breadcrumbs point to wrong path on SGInstanceProfile listings
* The disableClusterPodAntiAffinity config is not shown on SGDistributedLogs details
* Main dashboard does not validate user permissions
* Sidebar shows top level CRDs when user has no permissions
* Error message do not include details coming from the REST API
* Fix "go to default dashboard" link on not-found page
* Repeated names when creating restart SGDbOps
* Prevent input of invalid runAt values for SGDbOps
* Empty notification when toggling twice between timezones
* Selected extensions are not disabled when changing flavor

## :construction: KNOWN ISSUES

* Installation fails in EKS 1.21+ due to CSR not returning the certificate ([#1358](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1358)) 
* Major version upgrade fails if some extensions version are not available for the target Postgres version ([#1368](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1368)) 
* After major version upgrade continuous archiving and backups may hang ([#1383](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1383)) 
* Backups may be restored with inconsistencies when performed with a Postgres instance running on a different architecture ([#1539](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1539))

## :up: UPGRADE

To upgrade from a previous installation of the StackGres operator's helm chart you will have to upgrade the helm chart release.
 For more detailed information please refer to [our documentation](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/install/helm/upgrade/#upgrade-operator).

To upgrade StackGres operator's (upgrade only works starting from 1.0 version or above) helm chart issue following commands (replace namespace and release name if you used something different):

# :rocket: Release 1.1.0 (2022-02-01)

## :notepad_spiral: NOTES

Here comes StackGres 1.1.0 the awaited gift of this Christmas with a new tasty and fishy flavor ARMed to the teeth!! :christmas_tree: :fishing_pole_and_fish: :bomb: :tada: :bottle_with_popping_cork:

We have listened to you. Did you want ARM? Here it comes! Finally, you can run Postgres on Kubernetes on ARM64 nodes. This release brings support ARM64 architecture in order to run StackGres even on a Raspberry Pi (and of course on cool ARM hardware, like AWS Graviton 2/3). And the new experimental Postgres for Babelfish flavor allows you to connect to Postgres using the SQLServer protocol! (which is also available on ARM).

## :sparkles: NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES

* Add support for ARM64 architecture
* New Postgres versions 14.1, 13.5 and 12.9
* Support for [Postgres for Babelfish](https://babelfishpg.org/) version 13.4, both for AMD64 and ARM64
* Completely redesigned cluster creation form: it is now implemented wizard-style, with separate steps for each major relevant function
* Patroni 2.1.2
* PgBouncer 1.16.1
* Prometheus Postgres Exporter 0.10.1
* Check for Postgres timeline when failing or switching over a replica to avoid data loss as much as possible.
* Support to specify external IPs for Postgres services
* Support to configure resources in operator helm chart
* Support Kubernetes 1.23
* Suggest default names for manual backups and dbops in the Web UI

## :bug: FIXES

* Configuration does not include shared_preloaded_libraries when performing pg_upgrade
* Support allowing restart when primary pod is unavailable
* When deleting primary Pod cluster may become unresponsive
* Restart not restarting the cluster
* Internal DNS for services not using configured search names
* If backup used in initialData is removed the reconciliation cycle crashes
* Infinite running state when restarting Pod after invalid configuration
* Some resources are continuously patched
* Major version upgrade cannot be performed now if not all installed extensions are not available in the new postgres major version
* Init reconciliation cycle should fail for any error
* Support migration from Client Side Apply to Server Side Apply
* Error in endpoints stats from REST API

## :construction: KNOWN ISSUES

* Installation fails in EKS 1.21+ due to CSR not returning the certificate ([#1358](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1358)) 
* Major version upgrade fails if some extensions version are not available for the target Postgres version ([#1368](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1368))

* Backups may be restored with inconsistencies when performed with a Postgres instance running on a different architecture ([#1539](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1539))
* After upgrading StackGres operator newer Postgres versions that can not be used for a not upgraded SGCluster may be erroneously presented in the Web UI ([#1540](https://gitlab.com/ongresinc/stackgres/-/issues/1540))
