cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg v1.18.1

on GitHub

Release date: Dec 21, 2022

Important announcements:

• Alert on the impending deprecation of postgresql as a label to identify the CNPG cluster. In the remote case you have used this label, please start using the cnpg.io/cluster label instead (#1130)
• Recognizing Armando Ruocco (@armru) as a new CloudNativePG maintainer for his consistent and impactful contributions (#1167)
• Remove ARMv7 support (#1092)
• FINAL patch release for 1.16: 1.16.5. Release 1.16 reaches end of life.

Enhancements:

• Customize labels and annotations for the service account: add a service account template that can be used, for example, to make authentication easier via identity management on GKE or EKS via IRSA (#1105)
• Add nodeAffinity support (#1182) - allows for richer scheduling options
• Improve compatibility with Istio: add support for Istio’s quit endpoint so that jobs with Istio sidecars do not run indefinitely (#967)
• Allow fields remapping in JSON logs: helpful for use cases where the level and ts fields might interfere with the existing logging (#843)
• Add fio command to the kubectl-cnpg plugin (#1097)
• Add rpm/deb package for kubectl-cnpg plugin (#1008)
• Update default PostgreSQL version for new cluster definitions to 15.1 (#908)
• Documentation
  • Remove references to CNPG sandbox (#1120) - the CNPG sandbox has been deprecated, in favor of instructions on monitoring in the Quickstart documentation
  • Link to the "Release updates" discussion (#1148) - the release updates discussion will become the default channel for release announcements and discussions
  • Document emeritus status for maintainers in GOVERNANCE.md (#1033) - explains how maintainers should proceed if they are not ready to continue contributing
  • Improve instructions on creating pull requests (#1132)
  • Troubleshooting emergency backup instructions (#1184)

Fixes:

• Ensure PGDATA permissions on bootstrap are properly set to 750 (#1164)
• Ensure the PVC containing WALs is deleted when scaling down the cluster (#1135)
• Fix missing ApiVersion and Kind in the pgbench manifest when using --dry-run (#1088)
• Ensure that we create secrets and services only when not found (#1145)
• Respect configured pg-wal when restoring (#1216)
• Filter out replicas from nodeToClusters map (#1194)

Technical enhancements:

• Use ciclops for test summary (#1064): rely on the ciclops GitHub action to provide summaries of the E2E suite, inheriting improvements from that project
• Add backport pull request workflow (#965) - automatically backport patches to release branches if they are so annotated
• Make the operator log level configurable in e2e test suite (#1094)
• Enable test execution based on labels (#951)
• Update Go version from 1.18 to 1.19 (#1166)
