The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of PostgreSQL, including 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24, as well as the third beta release of PostgreSQL 19. This release fixes 28 security vulnerabilities and over 110 bugs reported over the last several months.

Sehrope Sarkini along with Claude has written a new JDBC driver from scratch. It's currently in pre-release. Here's an excerpt from his blog

Dasha is an open source performance dashboard for PostgreSQL fleets. It connects to your clusters with a read-only role, shows what the databases are doing right now, and explains what to do about it. Nothing is installed on the database hosts: no agent, no extension beyond the ones you already have.

What plx is

plx is a PostgreSQL extension that lets you write stored functions and triggers in the dialect you already know (the current set is listed below). When you run CREATE FUNCTION, plx transpiles the body to plpgsql and stores that plpgsql in pg_proc.prosrc. At run time the function is executed by PostgreSQL's own plpgsql interpreter. There is no separate language runtime loaded into the backend, and nothing new to run in production.

Dear Community Members,

Autobase 2.10 expands day-to-day PostgreSQL operations with new cluster management capabilities.

PL/Ruby is a procedural-language handler that lets you write database functions in Ruby, stored and executed inside PostgreSQL. You get the expressiveness of Ruby and its standard library with the full power of a native PostgreSQL function: plain functions, set-returning functions, triggers, event triggers, and procedures with transaction control.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces that the second beta release of PostgreSQL 19 is now available for download. This release contains PostgreSQL 19 feature previews ahead of general availability, though some details of the release can change during the beta period.
