| 2 | + |
| 3 | +--8<-- "release-notes-intro.md" |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This release of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is based on Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17.10.2 - a binary compatible, open source drop in replacement of [PostgreSQL Community 17.10](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/release-17-10.html). |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Release Highlights |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +This release continues to deliver Percona’s open source value-add components for enterprise use cases, including `pg_tde` 2.2.1 for Transparent Data Encryption and more. See the full component list below for details. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +!!! note |
| 12 | + `pg_tde` 2.2.1 requires Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 17.10 at minimum. Earlier versions of PPG are not supported with this release of `pg_tde`. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +To upgrade from earlier versions (e.g. Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 16.x), follow the steps in [Upgrading Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL](../major-upgrade.md). |
| 15 | + |

| 38 | +## Known Issues |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### For minor & major upgrades (RHEL only) |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +During an upgrade on RHEL, you may encounter the following error: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```bash |
| 45 | +Unknown Error occurred: Transaction test error: |
| 46 | + file /usr/share/postgresql-common/server/postgresql.mk from install of percona-postgresql-common conflicts with file from package percona-postgresql-common-dev |
| 47 | + file /usr/share/postgresql-common/t/040_upgrade.t from install of percona-postgresql-common conflicts with file from package percona-postgresql-common-dev |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +To resolve this, remove the `percona-postgresql-common-dev` package and reinstall it with the new intended upgraded PPG/PSP server. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## MD5 Authentication Deprecated |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +The md5 password authentication is deprecated now and will be removed in a future release. |
