Percona Transparent Data Encryption (`pg_tde`) 2.1 has been released

pg_tde is an open source extension for PostgreSQL that brings native data-at-rest encryption, now with production-ready WAL encryption.

Added support for PostgreSQL 18.1

pg_tde is fully supported with the Postgres 18.1 version.

Starting with PostgreSQL 18, pg_tde is distributed as a standalone package and is no longer bundled with the server package.

For more information on the availability by PostgreSQL version, please see the Install pg_tde topic.

Added support for asynchronous I/O (AIO) which is now the default I/O mechanism.

Reorganized the project into a multi-repository structure to support several PostgreSQL versions more efficiently.
