Release Notes Published

This release adds major new features since the 2.0.2 release. We deem it moderate priority for upgrading.

This release adds the long-awaited support for PostgreSQL 13 to TimescaleDB. The minimum required PostgreSQL 13 version is 13.2 due to a security vulnerability affecting TimescaleDB functionality present in earlier versions of PostgreSQL 13.

This release also relaxes some restrictions for compressed hypertables; namely, TimescaleDB now supports adding columns to compressed hypertables and renaming columns of compressed hypertables.

Major Features * #2779 Add support for PostgreSQL 13

Minor features * #2736 Support adding columns to hypertables with compression enabled * #2909 Support renaming columns of hypertables with compression enabled

The music for this release was Rush's 2112.
