# Pigsty v4.2.1 > Maintenance release: 3 new extensions, drop PG13, bug fixes --- LLMS index: [llms.txt](/llms.txt) --- **v4\.2\.1 · 2026-03-06** - [View release](https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/releases/tag/v4.2.1) - [Source · tar\.gz](https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/archive/refs/tags/v4.2.1.tar.gz) - [Source · zip](https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/archive/refs/tags/v4.2.1.zip) - [pgsty\/pigsty](https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty) A maintenance release that adds 3 new extensions. ## Major Changes - **New Extensions**: `pg_eviltransform` is added to the GIS package group, `pg_pinyin` to the FTS group, and `pg_qos` to the admin group — all for PG 14–18. - **PG13 Removed**: All `pgdg13`, `pgdg13-nonfree` repo entries and PG13 package aliases (`pg13-*`) are removed from every platform variant (EL7/8/9/10, Debian 12/13, Ubuntu 22/24/26, both x86_64 and aarch64). - Config templates (`fat.yml`, `pro.yml`, `dev.yml`, `el.yml`, `debian.yml`) no longer reference PG13 packages or repos. Extension version comments are updated to reflect PG 14–18 coverage only. - **Percona Repo**: Origin URL updated from `ppg-18.1` to `ppg-18.3` to track the latest Percona PostgreSQL distribution. - **Nginx Repo**: Module tag for the Nginx upstream APT repo corrected from `infra` to `nginx` on Debian/Ubuntu platforms. - **UV Venv Fix**: `roles/node/tasks/pkg.yml` now checks for an existing virtualenv before running `uv venv`, preventing redundant re-creation and potential errors on re-provisioning. - **Docker Image**: `less` is added to the Pigsty Docker image base packages. - **Demo Config**: Default firewall rules in `el.yml` and `debian.yml` demo configs now include port `5432` for direct PostgreSQL access. ## Compatibility Notes PostgreSQL 13 reached its [end of life](https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/) on 2025-11-13. The PGDG YUM repository has archived and removed the [pg13](https://yum.postgresql.org/news/pg13-end-of-life/) / [pg12](https://yum.postgresql.org/news/pg12-end-of-life/) directories. If you install Pigsty on EL systems (even without using PG 13), repo access failures may cause installation or update errors. You can either upgrade directly to Pigsty v4.2.1, or manually edit the `repo_upstream_default` variable in your corresponding OS file under `roles/node_id/vars/` and remove the pg13 repo line. Additionally, EL8 remains in the Pigsty compatible OS list, but starting from this release, offline packages for EL8 will no longer be published. No other breaking API or configuration changes in this release. **7 commits**, 84 files changed, +4,925 / -5,351 lines (`v4.2.0..v4.2.1`, 2026-03-04 ~ 2026-03-06) ## PostgreSQL Package Updates | Package | Old Version | New Version | Notes | |:-----------------|:------------|:------------|:----------------------------------------| | timescaledb | 2.25.1 | 2.25.2 | | | vchord | 1.1.0 | 1.1.1 | Added clang build dependency, bug fixes | | vchord_bm25 | 0.3.0-1 | 0.3.0-2 | Fix the CI version injection issue | | aggs_for_vecs | 1.4.0 | 1.4.1 | | | pg_search | 0.21.9 | 0.21.12 | | | pg_pinyin | - | 0.0.2 | New extension | | pg_eviltransform | - | 0.0.2 | New extension | | pg_qos | - | 1.0.0 | New extension, QoS resource governance | ## Infrastructure Package Updates | Name | Old Version | New Version | Notes | |:-----------------------------|:---------------|:---------------|:------| | `asciinema` | 3.1.0 | 3.2.0 | | | `grafana-infinity-ds` | 3.7.2 | 3.7.3 | | | `victoria-metrics` | 1.136.0 | 1.137.0 | | | `victoria-metrics-cluster` | 1.136.0 | 1.137.0 | | | `vmutils` | 1.136.0 | 1.137.0 | | | `hugo` | 0.155.3 | 0.157.0 | | | `opencode` | 1.2.15 | 1.2.17 | | | `rustfs` | 1.0.0-alpha.83 | 1.0.0-alpha.85 | | | `seaweedfs` | 4.13 | 4.15 | | | `tigerbeetle` | 0.16.74 | 0.16.75 | | | `uv` | 0.10.4 | 0.10.8 | | | `codex` | 0.105.0 | 0.110.0 | | | `claude` | 2.1.59 | 2.1.68 | | | `xray` | - | 26.2.6 | New | | `gost` | - | 2.12.0 | New | | `sabiql` | - | 1.6.2 | New | | `agentsview` | - | 0.10.0 | New | ## Checksums ```bash 262b7671424a38b208872582fe835ef8 pigsty-v4.2.1.tgz 62edcca1d1e572a247be018e1c26eda8 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.d12.aarch64.tgz 1d55367e2fd9106e6f18b7ee112be736 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.d12.x86_64.tgz f122b1e5ba8a7ae8e3dc6e6dd53eba65 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.d13.aarch64.tgz 617a76bfc8df8766e78abf24339152eb pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.d13.x86_64.tgz 908509b350403ad1a4a27a88795fee06 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.el10.aarch64.tgz 70cb4afd90ed7aea6ab43a264f8eb4a8 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.el10.x86_64.tgz 98fbd67334f5c674b12e6af81ef76923 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.el9.aarch64.tgz 687fa741ccd9dcf611a2aa964bcf1de8 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.el9.x86_64.tgz a2a30f4b1146b3e79be91d5be57615b6 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.u22.aarch64.tgz 7a1f571bd8526106775c175ba728eee1 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.u22.x86_64.tgz a5574071bac1955798265f71ad73c3d4 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.u24.aarch64.tgz 59a7632c650a3c034f1fe6cd589d7ab5 pigsty-pkg-v4.2.1.u24.x86_64.tgz ``` ## Sources - [GitHub release](https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/releases/tag/v4.2.1) - [Pigsty v4.2 release article](https://pigsty.io/blog/pigsty/v4.2/) - [Historical About / Release Note](https://pigsty.io/docs/about/release/#v421) - [Source comparison: `v4.2.0...v4.2.1`](https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/compare/v4.2.0...v4.2.1)
