Monthly summary for 2024-12 focusing on business value and technical achievements in the dbeaver/dbeaver project. Key deliverable: a critical bug fix in the PostgreSQL plugin related to default privileges identification for new roles. Root cause was SQL queries using role IDs instead of role names, which led to inaccurate retrieval and management of privileges. The fix replaces IDs with role names, improving accuracy and reliability of privilege handling. Commit f019028aef511398c4b5d3e55fc810bbfb3943dd accompanied the change (reference: #36355 #36358).
