June 2026: Key toolkit dependency update and initialization stabilization for timescale/timescaledb-docker-ha, delivering more reliable Postgres provisioning in Docker deployments. Upgraded Rust to 1.90.0 and cargo-pgrx to 0.18.0 to align with the latest toolkit release; fixed a broken version-detection regex to prevent misclassifying cargo-pgrx 0.18.0 as legacy; deferred loading of pg_textsearch into shared_preload_libraries until after installation to avert initdb failures on Postgres 17/18. These changes reduce provisioning errors, improve CI stability, and enhance deployment reliability.

Monthly summary for 2026-05: Delivered feature updates across two repositories with a focus on macOS compatibility and cross-version support. Key features delivered: - Libpq Homebrew integration with readline on macOS: updated the libpq formula to depend on readline, configured the build to link against readline, and added a test verifying psql is linked against libreadline on macOS. Commit 98b537e678b4e95a246ec998a9323deebfbb87e9. - TimescaleDB compatibility update (v2.27.1) in docker-ha: updated versions.yaml to include TimescaleDB 2.27.1 and ensured compatibility with PostgreSQL 15–18. Commit 32cb6e3f69ffae4f88d6fdf21af2acc5838b1b9b. Major bugs fixed: - No explicit user-facing bugs fixed this month; efforts focused on feature delivery and compatibility enhancements that reduce build/configuration issues on macOS and improve cross-version support. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved macOS build reliability and developer experience for libpq by ensuring proper readline linkage and verification tests, reducing future linkage-related regressions. - Expanded compatibility surface for TimescaleDB deployments with the latest v2.27.1, covering PostgreSQL 15–18, aiding smoother upgrade paths and container deployments. - Strengthened release readiness through explicit version management and test coverage across two critical repos. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - macOS build tooling and Homebrew formula maintenance (libpq, readline linkage) - Test-driven validation to verify dynamic library linkage - Version management and compatibility testing across multi-repo projects (Homebrew-core, docker-ha) - Cross-repo collaboration and release discipline
