Test Release

These are test releases for testing new builds.

August 2022 Bugfix Releases

This release contains the latest bugfixes for PostgreSQL.

• PostgreSQL 10.22 with PostGIS 2.4.10
• PostgreSQL 11.17 with PostGIS 2.5.7
• PostgreSQL 12.12 with PostGIS 3.0.6
• PostgreSQL 13.8 with PostGIS 3.1.6
• PostgreSQL 14.5 with PostGIS 3.2.2
• PostgreSQL 15beta3 with PostGIS 3.3.0rc1

It also includes a bugfix for an issue where the app can fail to launch if Rosetta is uninstalled (see #672)

June 2022 Bugfix release

This release comes with PostgreSQL 14.4

This is an unscheduled release that fixes a bug in PostgreSQL 14 where indexes can become corrupted if you build them concurrently.

The only thing that's different is PostgreSQL 14. The other PostgreSQL versions have not been changed.

May 2022 Bugfix Releases + PostGIS 3.2 upgrade

This release contains the latest bugfix releases of PostgreSQL and PostGIS:

• PostgreSQL 10.21 with PostGIS 2.4.10
• PostgreSQL 11.16 with PostGIS 2.5.6
• PostgreSQL 12.11 with PostGIS 3.0.5
• PostgreSQL 13.7 with PostGIS 3.1.5
• PostgreSQL 14.3 with PostGIS 3.2.1

The PostgreSQL release notes say you have to reindex GiST indexes on columns of type ltree in PostgreSQL 13 and 14.

We've upgraded the version of PostGIS that ships with PostgreSQL 14. If you want to make use of the new features in PostGIS 3.2, make sure to execute SELECT postgis_extensions_upgrade();

The GUI now shows a warning if we believe that you have to reindex your databases due to a collation change. See issue #665 for details.

Postgres.app now also uses a different method for starting the helper app. I hope this fixes #604 ("PostgresMenuHelper.app is not open anymore")

PostgreSQL February 2022 Bugfix Release

This release contains the latest bugfix releases of PostgreSQL and PostGIS:

• PostgreSQL 10.20 with PostGIS 2.4.9
• PostgreSQL 11.15 with PostGIS 2.5.5
• PostgreSQL 12.10 with PostGIS 3.0.5
• PostgreSQL 13.6 with PostGIS 3.1.5
• PostgreSQL 14.2 with PostGIS 3.1.5

We no longer include PostgreSQL 9.6, since it has reached end of life in November. If you still have a PostgreSQL 9.6 database running, please update it to a newer version before installing this update.

Besides the PostgreSQL bug fixes, this release also fixes two issues with the Postgres.app GUI itself:

• we fixed issue #639 (Postgres.app shouldn't crash when launching from somewhere other than /Applications).
• we added -Os to the build flags, which should greatly improve the performance of PostgreSQL (see issue #654)

Postgres.app Performance Improvements

We've accidentally been building Postgres.app without compiler optimisations. This release is now built with -Os, making PostgreSQL much faster, and also making the downloads slightly smaller.

It also fixes an OpenSSL compatibility issue which allows us to upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1m.

Postgres.app bugfix release (Take 2)

This preview release is another attempt to fix issue #639: Postgres.app should be able to start directly from the disk image, or from any other location, without Gatekeeper complaining.

It looks like this release finally accomplishes that goal!

Currently, all this build does is to show a warning when it isn't launched from /Applications

In my opinion that is a huge improvement, but ideally it should be possible to do something with the app, even when it isn't in /Applications

Postgres.app bugfix release

This release fixes issue #639: Postgres.app no longer crashes when you launch it from somewhere other than the Applications folder. It's still not relocatable, but at least it shows an error message now.

If you are already using Postgres.app, you do not need to update to these builds. This fix is mostly useful to help people who are new to Postgres.app.

Postgres.app November 2021 Bugfix Release

The latest and greatest version of PostgreSQL!

Fixes:

• We include address_standardizer extension again for all versions of PostgreSQL (see #641 for details).
• PostgreSQL 13 and 14 now work again on macOS 10.12 (see #643 for details)

This release includes the following versions of PostgreSQL and PostGIS:

• PostgreSQL 9.6.24 with PostGIS 2.3.11
• PostgreSQL 10.19 with PostGIS 2.4.9
• PostgreSQL 11.14 with PostGIS 2.5.5
• PostgreSQL 12.9 with PostGIS 3.0.4
• PostgreSQL 13.5 with PostGIS 3.1.4
• PostgreSQL 14.1 with PostGIS 3.1.4

This is the last release of PostgreSQL 9.6. If you still have databases running on PostgreSQL 9.6, you should consider upgrading your database after installing this update.

Rosetta Bug Fix

This is a bugfix release of Postgres.app that fixes a crash when trying to start Intel binaries on Macs with Apple Silicon if Rosetta is not installed (#638)

This fix is only relevant for older versions of PostgreSQL. If you just need PG 14, you can continue using Postgres.app 2.5
