July 2025: Delivered TDE key management UX improvements and internal maintenance across Percona Postgres and pg_tde, with safer default key removal when WAL keys are in use, clearer error messages, and explicit error codes to improve reliability and operator guidance. Refactoring included renaming a helper function for clarity and aligning messages between repos to reduce misconfiguration risk. These changes enhance data integrity, reduce support escalations, and accelerate secure key lifecycle operations.
