Release date: 2017-07-12
This release is based on PostgreSQL 9.5.7 and Postgres Pro 9.5.7.1.
Major enhancements over Postgres Pro 9.5.7.1 include:
Added upstream patches that fix potential data corruption during freeze.
Added distribution for Debian 9.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.5.7.1.
However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 9.5.x.x or vanilla PostgreSQL 9.5.x, some catalog changes should be applied.
If you use binary packages, and your database is in the default
location, this upgrade should be performed automatically. If you've
compiled Postgres Pro from source or create your database in a
non-default location, running initdb manually, you
should run pgpro_upgrade script provided in this
distribution.
Before running the script, you should stop postgres service. Script should be run on behalf of the user owning the database (typically postgres) and PGDATA environment variable should be set to the directory where database resides.
