Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 17.10.2 (2026-07-06)

Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is a solution that includes PostgreSQL server and the collection of tools from PostgreSQL community. These tools are tested to work together and serve to assist you in deploying and managing PostgreSQL.

The aim of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is to address the operational issues like High-Availability, Disaster Recovery, Security, Observability, Spatial data handling, Performance and Scalability, and others that enterprises are facing.

This release of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is based on Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17.10.2 - a binary-compatible, open source drop-in replacement of PostgreSQL Community 17.10.

Release Highlights

Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 17.10.2 is an out-of-cycle maintenance release that addresses an issue where TimescaleDB and Citus were not compilable with earlier Percona Server for PostgreSQL versions, and fixes high-severity CVEs for which fixes were available.

This release also updates bundled components, including pg_tde 2.2.1, and refreshes Docker images with fixes for high-severity CVEs where available.

Warning

Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17.10.2 and pg_tde 2.2.1 are only supported together. Combining either with an earlier version of the other is not supported.

To upgrade from an earlier version of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL, follow the steps in Upgrading Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL.

Docker image updates

Docker images have been rebuilt to address high-severity CVEs where fixes were available.

Known Issues

  file /usr/share/postgresql-common/t/040_upgrade.t from install of percona-postgresql-common conflicts with file from package percona-postgresql-common-dev

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and compatible derivatives, Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL also includes the supplemental python3-etcd 0.4.5 packages, which are used for setting up Patroni clusters.

Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is also shipped with the libpq library. It contains a set of library functions that allow client programs to pass queries to the PostgreSQL backend server and to receive the results of these queries.
