Description

The video discusses Postgres's out-of-cycle release and identified regressions that may affect users considering immediate upgrades. It advises against upgrading immediately due to unresolved issues in the latest release.

Key Takeaways:
• Postgres has an out-of-cycle release scheduled for February 26, 2026, with two regressions affecting substring handling and standby functionality 0:34.
• A regression in the substring function causes an invalid byte sequence error for non-ASCII text values, while a standby issue may halt and return a transaction status error 0:47.
• One fix for the substring error was implemented, but the standby issue remains unresolved, raising concerns about stability 1:08.

Users should delay upgrades until the next release cycle to avoid potential issues with these regressions.

And there were two regressions that were identified from the most recent release that happened on February 12th. when involving a substring function raises an invalid bite sequence for encoding error for non-asky text values and also a standby…
