Crunchy Data is planning its final scheduled releases of Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, and 6.0 on or about December 31, 2026 (the "Final Release Date"). Crunchy Data is providing this notice to Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes subscription customers at this time in order to facilitate planning around the final releases.
More specifically, Crunchy Data anticipates making available the following minor version update releases of Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes on or before the Final Release Date:
- Crunchy Data will provide minor releases of Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes incorporating the minor releases of PostgreSQL scheduled by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group (PGDG) as follows:
- On or before the end of February 2026 (PostgreSQL 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
- On or before the end of May 2026 (PostgreSQL 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

- Crunchy Data will continue to provide monthly rebuilds of Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes containers up until the final release date in accordance with the Monthly Container Rebuild documentation.
- Crunchy Data will provide such unscheduled releases of Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes as Crunchy Data determines is necessary to address currently unplanned PostgreSQL upstream releases or to address other material breakages of functionality identified prior to the Final Release Date.
Crunchy Data does not plan to make available any additional releases of Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes, including future major releases of Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes, after the Final Release Date.
