0.4.0 (2017-08-21)

High-level changes

  • Exclude chunks when constraints can be constifyed even if they are considered mutable like NOW().
  • Support for negative values in the dimension range which allows for pre-1970 dates.
  • Improve handling of default chunk times for integral date times by forcing it to be explicit rather than guessing the units of the time.
  • Improve memory usage for long-running COPY operations (previously it would grow unbounded).
  • VACUUM and REINDEX on hypertables now recurse down to chunks.

Notable commits

  • [139fe34] Implement constraint-aware appends to exclude chunks at execution time
  • [2a51cf0] Add support for negative values in dimension range
  • [f2d5c3f] Error if add_dimension given both partition number and interval length
  • [f3df02d] Improve handling of non-TIMESTAMP/TZ timestamps

  • [953346c] Make VACUUM and REINDEX recurse to chunks
  • [55bfdf7] Release all cache pins when a transaction ends

0.3.0 (2017-07-31)

High-level changes

  • "Upserts" are now supported via normal ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE/ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING syntax. However, ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT is not yet supported.
  • Improved support for user-defined triggers on hypertables. Now handles both INSERT BEFORE and INSERT AFTER triggers, and triggers can be named arbitrarily (before, a _0_ prefix was required to ensure correct execution priority).
  • TRUNCATE on a hypertable now deletes empty chunks.

Notable commits

  • [23f9d3c] Add support for upserts (ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE)
  • [1f3dcd8] Make INSERTs use a custom plan instead of triggers
  • [f23bf58] Remove empty chunks on TRUNCATE hypertable.

0.2.0 (2017-07-12)

High-level changes

  • Users can now define their own triggers on hypertables (except for INSERT AFTER)
  • Hypertables can now be renamed or moved to a different schema
  • Utility functions added so you can examine the size hypertables, chunks, and indices

Notable commits

  • [83c75fd] Add support for triggers on hypertables for all triggers except INSERT AFTER
  • [e0eeeb9] Add hypertable, chunk, and indexes size utils functions.
  • [4d2a65d] Add infrastructure to build update script files.
  • [a5725d9] Add support to rename and change schema on hypertable.
  • [142f58c] Cleanup planner and process utility hooks

0.1.0 (2017-06-28)

IMPORTANT NOTE

Starting with this release, TimescaleDB will now support upgrading between extension versions using the typical ALTER EXTENSION command, unless otherwise noted in future release notes. This important step should make it easier to test TimescaleDB and be able to get the latest benefits from new versions of TimescaleDB. If you were previously using a version with the -beta tag, you will need to DROP any databases currently using TimescaleDB and re-create them in order to upgrade to this new version. To backup and migrate data, use pg_dump to save the table schemas and COPY to write hypertable data to CSV for re-importing after upgrading is complete. We describe a similar process on our docs.
