TimescaleDB v2.26.3 now on Tiger Cloud

April 14, 2026

🐛 Bug Fix

#

TimescaleDB v2.26.3 now on Tiger Cloud

TimescaleDB v2.26.3 is a bug-fix release focused on operational reliability, with the most important improvement addressing concurrent refreshes of continuous aggregates. It was released on April 14, 2026, and was made available on Tiger Cloud right after release.

Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.26.3

More reliable continuous aggregate refreshes

This release fixes concurrent refresh issues for continuous aggregates, an important improvement for production workloads that run overlapping or adjacent refreshes.

• Fix concurrent refreshes of continuous aggregates: Resolves issues seen when multiple CAgg refreshes run at the same time. The underlying fix replaces the earlier intermediate queue model with a new registration-based approach for refresh windows, adds better overlap detection, uses lock-skipping to avoid deadlocks, and ensures cleanup happens correctly even when refreshes are cancelled or interrupted.

• Why it matters: The previous design could lead to deadlocks between overlapping refreshes and leave stale ranges behind when refreshes were interrupted. The new model makes concurrent refresh behavior safer and more predictable.

Additional bug fixes

• Fix alter_job for retention policies with drop_created_before: Resolves a failure case when updating retention policies with this argument.

• Fix cleanup of orphaned compression_chunk_size entries during extension upgrade: Improves upgrade reliability.

• Fix resource leaks during continuous aggregate refresh: Addresses error-path leaks during CAgg refresh processing.

• Fix gapfill DST bucket ordering issue: Resolves out-of-order bucket creation during DST shifts in gapfill queries.

For complete details, refer to the TimescaleDB 2.26.3 release notes.

Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.26.2

Query correctness and planner fixes

This release improves correctness and stability for a number of query patterns introduced or expanded in recent releases.

• Fix chunk exclusion with mutable expressions: Resolves a wrong-result issue when performing chunk exclusion using a mutable expression.

• Fix chunk skipping with dropped columns: Improves correctness for chunk pruning in schemas that include dropped columns.

• Fix GROUP BY ROLLUP on compressed continuous aggregates: Addresses an issue affecting this query pattern on compressed CAggs.

Reliability and memory-safety fixes

• Fix WAL record tracking in EXPLAIN for direct compress: Corrects WAL tracking shown in EXPLAIN for direct compress workflows.

• Fix several use-after-free issues: Includes fixes for invalidation handling, job owner validation, and reorder_chunk, improving overall runtime safety.

TimescaleDB v2.26 now on Tiger Cloud

March 30, 2026

✨ New Feature

#

TimescaleDB v2.26 now on Tiger Cloud

TimescaleDB v2.26 continues improving how TimescaleDB scales for real-world analytical workloads, with major gains in columnstore query performance, better filtering efficiency on compressed data, and practical query-planning improvements that reduce unnecessary work. TimescaleDB 2.26.0 was released on March 24, 2026, and is available on GitHub and on Tiger Cloud as of March 30, 2026.

Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.26

• Faster analytical queries on the columnstore

  This release expands the vectorized query path so more analytical queries can stay on the high-performance columnar execution engine instead of falling back to slower row-based processing.

  • Vectorized PostgreSQL functions in aggregation paths: Queries that use functions like time_bucket() in grouping or aggregation expressions can now continue running in the columnar pipeline. This delivers significantly faster performance for common analytical patterns, with benchmark examples showing roughly 3.5x faster execution on affected workloads.
  • Faster MIN()/MAX() on text columns: MIN() and MAX() on text columns using C collation now run natively in the vectorized aggregation path, avoiding row-based fallback and improving performance for workloads that use text values as tie-breakers or grouping outputs.

• Faster summary-style queries on compressed data

  TimescaleDB 2.26 enables a new fast path for common aggregate and “latest/earliest value” queries on compressed chunks.

  • ColumnarIndexScan enabled by default: First introduced in 2.25.0 and now enabled by default in 2.26, this execution path allows queries using COUNT, MIN, MAX, and partial FIRST/LAST to read directly from sparse min/max metadata instead of decompressing full batches. This substantially improves performance for common summary queries on the columnstore, with benchmark examples showing speedups of up to 70x+.

• Better filtering and UPSERT performance with composite bloom filters

  This release improves how TimescaleDB prunes compressed batches when queries or conflict checks involve multiple columns.

  • Composite bloom filters: Multi-column predicates can now be pushed down directly into compressed scans for both SELECT and UPSERT operations.
  • This helps avoid unnecessary decompression, improving efficiency for workloads with selective multi-column lookups and conflict-heavy writes.
  • Benchmark examples show 2x+ faster performance when composite bloom filters apply.
  • EXPLAIN plans now surface more details to help you understand pruning effectiveness.

• Smarter chunk exclusion

  This release improves query planning so TimescaleDB can skip more irrelevant chunks earlier.

  • Runtime chunk exclusion on nested loop joins: Chunk exclusion now applies on the inner side of nested loop joins, reducing unnecessary scans for join-heavy workloads.
  • Chunk exclusion for IN/ANY on open time dimensions: Queries using these predicate patterns can now benefit from pruning as well, reducing wasted work on large datasets.

• Quality of life and operability

  • Safer extension re-creation in-session: CREATE EXTENSION timescaledb now works correctly after DROP EXTENSION in the same session.
  • More reliable chunk creation in replication edge cases: Fixes a failure mode tied to replica identity invalidation.
  • Improved background worker reliability: Advisory locks were removed from background worker job coordination and replaced with graceful cancellation logic, reducing contention and deadlock risk under concurrency.
  • Internal catalog cleanup: Removes a dropped column from _timescaledb_catalog.chunk; if you query internal catalog tables directly, update any dependencies.

For complete details, refer to the TimescaleDB 2.26.0 release notes.

Automated chunk tuning (beta)

March 6, 2026

✨ New Feature 🧪 Beta

#

Automated chunk tuning (beta)

Tiger Cloud now offers automated chunk tuning in beta, taking the guesswork out of setting and maintaining chunk intervals for your hypertables. When enabled, the tuner monitors your workload and adjusts chunk intervals automatically, no manual intervention required.

• Per-hypertable opt-in: disabled by default, automated chunk tuning can be enabled for individual hypertables in the Explorer.
• Recommendations for all users: even without enabling automated tuning, you can view the recommended chunk interval for any hypertable in the Explorer.
• Gradual, safe adjustments: the tuner moves chunk intervals incrementally to avoid disruptive jumps, and will never increase an interval beyond your configured compression lookback.
• Activity log integration: chunk interval changes are recorded in the Activity log for a full audit trail.
• No instance overhead: all calculations run outside your service via Schemata.

If you experience any negative impact, you can opt out at any time and manually reset the interval via the UI or SQL. Learn more about automated chunk tuning.

TimescaleDB v2.25 now on Tiger Cloud

March 5, 2026

✨ New Feature 🏎️ Performance

#

TimescaleDB v2.25 now on Tiger Cloud

TimescaleDB v2.25 continues improving how PostgreSQL scales for time-series workloads, with major wins in query performance on compressed data, smoother continuous aggregate refresh behavior, and practical operational improvements as datasets and chunk counts grow. TimescaleDB 2.25 was released on January 29, 2026, and is now available to all users on Tiger Cloud.

Release highlights

This release includes the following highlights:

• Faster queries on compressed data

  A new ColumnarIndexScan execution path uses columnar metadata to accelerate common aggregates and FIRST/LAST queries on compressed chunks. The feature is currently disabled by default due to a known issue with partial aggregations, but can be enabled by setting the GUC enable_columnarindexscan to true. It will be enabled by default in 2.26.

  • MIN/MAX/FIRST/LAST on compressed data can take fast paths and avoid scanning full chunks (reported up to 289× faster in the example).
  • COUNT(*) with time filters can often skip reading the time column entirely (reported up to 50× faster in the example), reducing CPU and memory pressure.

• Continuous aggregates

  This release reduces contention and refresh overhead for continuous aggregates, especially when using the columnstore.

  • Direct compress on continuous aggregate refresh (GUC, off by default) writes refresh results directly to the columnstore, bypassing the rowstore step that can cause policy contention and temporary storage overhead. This also reduces WAL activity, and will be enabled by default in an upcoming release.
  • Direct batch delete restores a key columnstore optimization for DELETEs on compressed hypertables: when conditions allow, it can delete whole batches without decompressing and deleting row-by-row. Previously, this path was disabled for tables with continuous aggregates because it didn’t emit the invalidation details needed to trigger the right refresh ranges. In 2.25, that support is added, so hypertables using the columnstore and continuous aggregates can benefit from faster, lower-I/O deletes.
  • Smaller, steadier refresh transactions by default: continuous aggregate refreshes can be broken into smaller “batches,” where each batch refreshes a portion of the overall time range. This keeps materialization results (and transactions) smaller, reducing stress on the service and improving predictability under heavy refresh/backfill patterns. The default buckets_per_batch is now 10 (previously 1, effectively no batching).
  • Safer defaults for continuous aggregates using the columnstore: we’ve seen cases where columnstore-backed CAggs can time out during refresh due to suboptimal defaults. This release removes the automatic assignment of segmentby for columnstore CAggs (effectively using no segmentby) and sets the orderby column to the bucketing timestamp to improve refresh behavior.

• Quality of life/operability

  • Estimate original size for columnstore chunks to support workflows that depend on pre-compression sizing (for example, tiering/billing and Console reporting), especially as direct compress becomes more common and raw-size stats may not exist. This also improves accuracy versus older “frozen” compression stats that didn’t reflect subsequent DML (like deletes).

    Example:

    SELECT _timescaledb_functions.estimate_uncompressed_size('<schema>.<chunk_name>');

  • Option to auto-add newly created chunks to a publication (GUC, off by default) to simplify logical replication workflows.

  • Configurable work_mem for background worker jobs when jobs need more memory to avoid spooling to disk. You can set it per job via the job config JSON.

    Example:

    SELECT add_job('my_proc', '1 hour', config => '{"work_mem": "256MB"}'::jsonb);

    Update an existing job:

    SELECT alter_job(id, config := jsonb_set(config,'{work_mem}','"256MB"')) FROM _timescaledb_catalog.bgw_job WHERE id = <job_id>;
