v0.5.0-rc.1

v0.5.0 - 2025-11-04

Added

• Added support for Postgres 18.0.
• Added a new "client-only" Etcd mode to enable larger clusters and clusters with an even number of hosts.
• Added access logging.
• Added ability to run the Control Plane on Docker Swarm worker nodes.

Changed

• Moved the cluster ID configuration setting to be an optional parameter on the init-cluster endpoint.
• Changed the default behavior when adding a node. Instead of initializing to an empty state, new nodes will always be populated from an existing node unless the new node has a restore_config.
• Changed the shape of the return type for list-hosts, restart-instance, stop-instance, and start-instance.
• Renamed Etcd server and client configuration options.

Removed

• Removed cohort ID from host API endpoints.

Fixed

• Fixed unknown host status and missing component status in host API endpoints.
• Fixed a bug that prevented users from using Service Accounts for pgBackRest credentials in GCS.
• Fixed missing replication sets after restoring from backup.
• Fixed incorrect response in update-database when a non-existent host ID is specified.
• Fixed a bug with scheduled instance restarts.

v0.4.0

v0.4.0 - 2025-10-06

Added

• Introduced stop-instance and start-instance APIs to allow users to manually trigger a stop/start of a specific Postgres instance.
• Added support for adding new database nodes with zero downtime.
• Added stopped state for instances
• Added switchover support via the control plane API
• Added a "cancel database task" API endpoint
• Added validation to update-database to reject requests that update the database name.
• Added support for mTLS to the Control Plane API via user-managed certificates.
• Implemented the "get host" and "get cluster" endpoints.
• Added Failover support via the control plane API

Changed

• Switched to the new images from github.com/pgEdge/postgres-images.
• Added the postgres minor version to the postgres_version fields in the database and host APIs.
• Changed the database creation behavior so that the first host in host_ids gets the primary instance for a node.
• Database update process so that nodes are processed one at a time. Within a node, replicas are always updated before the primary.
• Added automated switchovers before and after an instance is restarted as part of an update.
• Added validation to the update database API to reject requests that update the Postgres major version.
• Changed MQTT interface in client library to take an endpoint. This removes the need to generate unique client IDs per server. Callers are responsible for calling Connect() and Disconnect() on the endpoint.
• Enable fast basebackup for new nodes. This noticeably speeds up the creation process for a node with replicas.
• Changed patroni configuration to use pg_rewind for faster recovery after a switchover.

Fixed

• Fixed join cluster timeouts when requests were submitted to a member other than the raft leader.
• Ensure that join and init cluster calls only return once the server is ready to take requests. Any errors during the initialization process will now be returned to callers.

v0.3.0

v0.3.0 - 2025-08-19

Added

• Added ability to override 'database modifiable state' check via force parameters on several endpoints.
• Added a client package that wraps the generated client code in a friendlier interface.

Changed

• Merged separate Go modules into single top-level github.com/pgEdge/control-plane module.

Fixed

• Fixed high CPU usage from Etcd after recovering from some network partition scenarios.
• Fixed error in restore database workflow when the request is submitted to a host that is not running the target instance.
• Fixed client-side validation errors from missing enum values in our generated client code.
• Fixed timing issue where a new database operation could not be started immediately after the task was marked as completed.
• Fixed a bug in the restore database workflow where, sometimes, the restore would start before Postgres had finished shutting down.
