2.0.0

8781edb

2.0.0 (2020-12-21)

With this release, we are officially moving TimescaleDB 2.0 to GA,
concluding several release candidates.

TimescaleDB 2.0 adds the much-anticipated support for distributed
hypertables (multi-node TimescaleDB), as well as new features and
enhancements to core functionality to give users better clarity and
more control and flexibility over their data.

Multi-node architecture: In particular, with TimescaleDB 2.0, users
can now create distributed hypertables across multiple instances of
TimescaleDB, configured so that one instance serves as an access node
and multiple others as data nodes. All queries for a distributed
hypertable are issued to the access node, but inserted data and queries
are pushed down across data nodes for greater scale and performance.

Multi-node TimescaleDB can be self managed or, for easier operation,
launched within Timescale's fully-managed cloud services.

This release also adds:

Support for user-defined actions, allowing users to define,
customize, and schedule automated tasks, which can be run by the
built-in jobs scheduling framework now exposed to users.
Significant changes to continuous aggregates, which now separate the
view creation from the policy. Users can now refresh individual
regions of the continuous aggregate materialized view, or schedule
automated refreshing via policy.
Redesigned informational views, including new (and more general)
views for information about hypertable's dimensions and chunks,
policies and user-defined actions, as well as support for multi-node
TimescaleDB.
Moving all formerly enterprise features into our Community Edition,
and updating Timescale License, which now provides additional (more
permissive) rights to users and developers.

Some of the changes above (e.g., continuous aggregates, updated
informational views) do introduce breaking changes to APIs and are not
backwards compatible. While the update scripts in TimescaleDB 2.0 will
upgrade databases running TimescaleDB 1.x automatically, some of these
API and feature changes may require changes to clients and/or upstream
scripts that rely on the previous APIs. Before upgrading, we recommend
reviewing upgrade documentation at docs.timescale.com for more details.

Major Features

TimescaleDB 2.0 moves the following major features to GA:

#1923 Add support for distributed hypertables
#2006 Add support for user-defined actions
#2125 #2221 Improve Continuous Aggregate API
#2084 #2089 #2098 #2417 Redesign informational views
#2435 Move enterprise features to community
#2437 Update Timescale License

2.0.0-rc1

7a4975c

2.0.0-rc1 (2020-10-05) Pre-release

Pre-release

This release adds major new features and bugfixes since the 1.7.4 release.
We deem it moderate priority for upgrading.

This release adds the long-awaited support for distributed hypertables to
TimescaleDB. With 2.0, users can create distributed hypertables across
multiple instances of TimescaleDB, configured so that one instance serves
as an access node and multiple others as data nodes. All queries for a
distributed hypertable are issued to the access node, but inserted data
and queries are pushed down across data nodes for greater scale and
performance.

This release also adds support for user-defined actions allowing users to
define actions that are run by the TimescaleDB automation framework.

In addition to these major new features, the 2.0 branch introduces breaking changes
to APIs and existing features, such as continuous aggregates. These changes are not
backwards compatible and might require changes to clients and/or scripts that rely on
the previous APIs. Please review our updated documentation and do proper testing to
ensure compatibility with your existing applications.

The noticeable breaking changes in APIs are:

Redefined functions for policies
A continuous aggregate is now created with CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
instead of CREATE VIEW and automated refreshing requires adding a policy
via add_continuous_aggregate_policy
Redesign of informational views, including new (and more general) views for
information about policies and user-defined actions

This release candidate is upgradable, so if you are on a previous release (e.g., 1.7.4)
you can upgrade to the release candidate and later expect to be able to upgrade to the
final 2.0 release. However, please carefully consider your compatibility requirements
before upgrading.

Major Features

#1923 Add support for distributed hypertables
#2006 Add support for user-defined actions
#2435 Move enterprise features to community
#2437 Update Timescale License

Minor Features

#2011 Constify TIMESTAMPTZ OP INTERVAL in constraints
#2105 Support moving compressed chunks

Bugfixes

#1843 Improve handling of "dropped" chunks
#1886 Change ChunkAppend leader to use worker subplan
#2116 Propagate privileges from hypertables to chunks
#2263 Fix timestamp overflow in time_bucket optimization
#2270 Fix handling of non-reference counted TupleDescs in gapfill
#2325 Fix rename constraint/rename index
#2370 Fix detection of hypertables in subqueries
#2376 Fix caggs width expression handling on int based hypertables
