• K8SPG-226: A new build and testing guide allows user to easily experiment with the source code of the Operator

Bugs Fixed

• K8SPG-178: Fix the bug in the instruction on passing custom configuration options for PostgreSQL which made it usable for the new cluster only

• K8SPG-193: Fix the bug which caused the Operator crash without pgReplicas section in Custom Resource definition

• K8SPG-197: Fix the bug which caused the Operator to make connection requests to Version Service even with disabled Smart Update

• K8SPG-207: Fix the bug due to which restoring S3 backup from storage with self-signed certificates didn’t work, by introducing the special backup.storages.verifyTLS option to address this issue

The following platforms were tested and are officially supported by the Operator 1.3.0:

• Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) 1.21 - 1.24
