Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.28.0

Faster first() and last() queries on compressed data. TimescaleDB derives first(value, time) and last(value, time) aggregates straight from the columnstore's batch metadata, skipping batch decompression entirely. For the "latest reading per series" lookups that time-series workloads run constantly, that means meaningfully faster recency queries with no changes to your SQL queries.
Lighter, less disruptive continuous aggregate refreshes. refresh_continuous_aggregate() can now run incrementally in batches — the same behavior refresh policies already use — enabling breaking large manual refreshes into smaller chunks (tunable via buckets_per_batch, max_batches_per_execution, and refresh_newest_first) instead of one heavy operation. Refreshes also now take a lighter lock while processing the invalidation log, so they no longer block unrelated concurrent operations on the same continuous aggregate, improving behavior for concurrent workloads.
Vectorized execution now covers CASE expressions. TimescaleDB's columnar executor can now evaluate CASE ... WHEN expressions directly on compressed data, so queries using conditional logic stay on the fast vectorized path instead of falling back to slower row-by-row decompression. This speeds up a common pattern — conditional aggregations and computed columns over compressed history — with no query changes needed.
Add new aggregations to a continuous aggregate without rebuilding it. You can now run ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW <cagg> ADD COLUMN <name> <type> GENERATED ALWAYS AS (<aggregate>) STORED to add a new computed aggregate to an existing continuous aggregate in place — no more dropping and recreating the whole aggregate just to track one more metric. New data populates the column going forward, letting your rollups evolve alongside your application. (Existing rows start as NULL; a forced refresh backfills them when you need historical values.)

Deprecation Notice: PostgreSQL 15 Support
This release marks the final minor version of TimescaleDB that will support PostgreSQL 15. Starting with our next release, version 2.29.0, we will officially drop support for Postgres 15, and only support Postgres 16, 17, and 18; however, all future patch releases within the current 2.28 version cycle will continue to fully support it. We recommend planning your PostgreSQL upgrades accordingly to ensure a smooth transition.

Deprecation Notice: chunk_constraint Catalog Table
Please note that the _timescaledb_catalog.chunk_constraint table has been dropped and temporarily replaced by a view, which introduces a change to the underlying objects while maintaining current query behavior. However, this compatibility view will be completely removed in a future release. To ensure your queries remain compatible moving forward, we strongly advise transitioning to the stable contracts provided by our informational views.

Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.27.0

The Hypercore engine now supports a vectorized implementation of filters by evaluating them inline through the standard Postgres function path. This expands the set of queries (including continuous aggregate refreshes) that can take the faster path through the columnstore, yielding speedups ranging from 30% up to 2x in benchmarks.
UPDATE and DELETE statements with equality predicates can now use bloom filters to skip decompressing batches whose compressed rows can't match. When multiple bloom filters apply, they are evaluated in decreasing order of column count (most selective first), and EXPLAIN now reports filtering activity via the new "Compressed batches filtered" and "Batches filtered after decompression counters". The query performance increases in some case up to 160 times.
UPSERT queries can now leverage bloom filters (including composite ones) to skip decompressing batches when the arbiter values are guaranteed not to be present, with the most-selective filter chosen automatically when multiple apply. EXPLAIN output adds new statistics — batches checked by bloom, batches pruned by bloom, batches without bloom, and bloom false positives — for visibility into pruning effectiveness.

Upcoming PostgreSQL 15 EOL announcement
As a reminder, the upcoming TimescaleDB release in June 2026 will officially be the last version with support for PostgreSQL 15. This deprecation was initially announced in the v2.23.0 changelog on October 29, 2025, to provide users ample time to prepare. To ensure uninterrupted access to new features, bugfixes and performance enhancements, all instances must be upgraded to PostgreSQL 16 or greater.

Backward-Incompatible Changes

#9579 The bloom filter sparse indexes on compressed int2 columns could lead to SELECT queries not returning the rows that actually match the WHERE condition. The upgrade is blocked for the affected databases, and the incorrect indexes have to be dropped manually before the upgrade.
This release introduces a new naming convention for composite bloom filter metadata. While this change will not disrupt query processing, v2.27 cannot automatically utilize composite bloom filters generated in v2.26. To convert your existing v2.26 composite bloom filters, the legacy metadata columns must be renamed. This is a lightweight, catalog-only operation requiring zero data recompression, which can be done with this migration script.

Features

#8868 Use PG_MODULE_MAGIC_EXT for PG18
#8967 Rewriting queries with continuous aggregates exactly matching query aggregation
#9192 Push down scalar array operations into the columnar metadata scan by transforming them into an OR/AND clause.

#9443 Enable vectorized aggregation in some cases when the WHERE clause contains filters not handled through the "Vectorized Filters" facility. This includes e.g. filters on time_bucket().
#9458 Remove _timescaledb_functions.repair_relation_acls
#9475 Calculate hashes for bloom filter predicates at planning time.
#9504 Allow ALTER TABLE RESET on materialization hypertables
#9521 Add support for reporting index creation progress

Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.26.0

The vectorized aggregation engine now evaluates PostgreSQL functions directly on columnar arguments and stores the results in a columnar format to preserve the high-speed execution pipeline. For analytical queries that leverage functions like time_bucket() in grouping or aggregation expressions, the function is evaluated natively without falling back to standard row-based processing. This enhancement ensures that the remainder of the query can seamlessly continue using the highly efficient columnar pipeline, yielding performance improvements of 3.5 times faster.
The query execution engine now supports composite bloom filters for SELECT and UPSERT operations, pushing down multi-column predicates directly to compressed table scans. This optimization bypasses costly batch decompression by automatically selecting the most restrictive bloom filter to quickly verify if target values are present. Showing over two times faster query performance when a composite bloom filter is used. Additionally, query profiling now includes detailed EXPLAIN statistics to monitor batch pruning and false-positive rates.
The custom node ColumnarIndexScan adjusts the query plan to fetch values from the sparse minmax indexes, improving query performance on the columnstore by up to 70x. For analytical queries that leverage functions like COUNT, MIN, MAX, FIRST (limited), and LAST (limited), the sparse index is being read instead of decompressing the batch.

This release contains performance improvements and bug fixes since the 2.24.0 release. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available opportunity.

Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.25.0
This release features multiple improvements for continuous aggregates on the columnstore:

Faster refreshes: You can now utilize direct compress during materialized view refreshes, resulting in higher throughput and reduced I/O usage.
Efficiency: The enablement of delete optimizations significantly lowers system resource requirements.
Smaller transactions: Adjusted defaults for buckets_per_batch to 10 reduces transaction sizes, requiring less WAL holding time.
Faster queries: Smarter defaults for segmentby and orderby yield improved query performance and better compression ratio on the columnstore.

Sunsetting announcements

This release removes the WAL-based invalidation of continuous aggregates. This feature was introduced in 2.22.0 as tech preview to use logical decoding for building the invalidation logs. The feature was designed for high ingest workloads, reducing the write amplification. With the upcoming stream of improvements to continuous aggregates, this feature was deprioritized and removed.
The old continuous aggregate format, deprecated in version 2.10.0, has been fully removed from TimescaleDB in this release. Users still on the old format should read the migration documentation to migrate to the new format. Users of Tiger Cloud have already been automatically migrated.

Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.24.0

Direct Compress just got smarter and faster: it now works seamlessly with hypertables generating continuous aggregates. Invalidation ranges are computed directly in-memory based on the ingested batches and written efficiently at transaction commit. This change reduces the IO footprint drastically by removing the write amplification of the invalidation logs.
Continuous aggregates now speak UUIDv7: hypertables partitioned by UUIDv7 are fully supported through an enhanced time_bucket that accepts UUIDv7 values and returns precise, timezone-aware timestamps — unlocking powerful time-series analytics on modern UUID-driven table schemas.
Lightning-fast recompression: the new recompress := true option on the convert_to_columnstore API enables pure in-memory recompression, delivering a 4–5× speed boost over the previous disk-based process.

ARM support for bloom filters
The sparse bloom filter indexes will stop working after upgrade to 2.24. If you are affected by this problem, the warning "bloom filter sparse indexes require action to re-enable" will appear in the Postgres log during upgrade.

In versions before 2.24, the hashing scheme of the bloom filter sparse indexes used to depend on the build options of the TimescaleDB executables. These options are set by the package publishers and might differ between different package sources or even versions. After upgradi

Bug: The build matrix includes PostgreSQL 14, but the updated TimescaleDB version 2.25.2 is incompatible, which will cause the build to fail.
_{Severity: CRITICAL}

Suggested Fix

Either remove PostgreSQL 14 from the build matrix in .github/workflows/build.yaml or, for the PostgreSQL 14 job, pin the TIMESCALE_VERSION to a compatible version like 2.19.3.

Prompt for AI Agent

Review the code at the location below. A potential bug has been identified by an AI agent. Verify if this is a real issue. If it is, propose a fix; if not, explain why it's not valid. Location: .github/workflows/build.yaml#L7 Potential issue: The GitHub Actions workflow in `.github/workflows/build.yaml` includes PostgreSQL 14 in its build matrix. The pull request updates TimescaleDB to version `2.25.2`, which is incompatible with PostgreSQL 14, as support was dropped after TimescaleDB version `2.19.3`. During the build process, the Dockerfile attempts to install the package `timescaledb-2-postgresql-14=2.25.2~debian*`, which does not exist in the package repository. This will result in a "package not found" error, causing the build to fail for the PostgreSQL 14 matrix entry.
