Postgres.app with PostgreSQL 13 Beta 1

The first beta of PostgreSQL 13 is now available! This version of Postgres.app includes all currently supported versions of PostgreSQL (9.5-12) and the first beta of PostgreSQL 13.

You can use it to try PostgreSQL 13 next to the version you normally use.

• comes with PostgreSQL 13beta1 and PostGIS 3.1.0alpha1
• this build doesn't include wal2json because it didn't build with PostgreSQL 13
• it also doesn't include plv8, because I didn't have enough time to build it
• it no longer includes PL/tcl and PL/Perl because they don't seem to be available on macOS 10.15
• it still comes with PL/Python2, because I haven't figured out how to add python 3 support

Please note that beta versions are for evaluation purposes only. You are likely to encounter bugs of varying severity.

During the course of the beta, the on-disk data format often changes, so that your data directory might not be compatible with future beta versions. In that case you will have to dump and restore your database when switching to a newer beta version.

Postgres.app January 2020 Releases

This update fixes a few issues:

• plv8 didn't work for PostgreSQL 12 (see #549)
• GDAL was built without PostgreSQL drivers (see #548)

This is also the first release of Postgres.app using the new hardened runtime. The hardened runtime is a new feature of macOS that makes it harder for attackers to exploit macOS software, but it could interfere with some software features. Beginning in February 2020, it will be required for all new software releases on macOS.

Postgres.app December 2019 Update

This release addresses several issues that have been reported:

• we removed support for Kerberos (see issues #537, #538, #539)
