v0.12.5

Welcome to pgrx v0.12.5. This is a big minor release because it brings support for Postgres v17.0, released on Sept 26th, 2024. Much thanks to the Postgres folks for all their hard work! We'd have to do this for MySQL otherwise!

To upgrade to pgrx v0.12.5, do cargo install cargo-pgrx --version 0.12.5 --locked. Once installed you can run cargo pgrx upgrade in the root of all your extension crates to update their dependencies.

New Features

• Move from pg17rc1 to pg17ga by @eeeebbbbrrrr in #1881

pgrx now supports Postgres v17.0! You'll want to run another cargo pgrx init to get the latest release of all Postgres versions, including 17.

• Stable cargo pgrx schema output by @eeeebbbbrrrr in #1867

diffs between schema versions should be a lot prettier now as cargo pgrx schema should be repeatable from run-to-run and otherwise output in a predictable order.

• use cc to generate cshim by @usamoi in #1854

Regular and cross-compiles should be more reliable now thanks to using cc to compile the tiny bit of C code pgrx includes.

• Allowed CStr to be used as SPI commands by @YohDeadfall in #1864

Made with love to those who don't like allocations!

• Fixed conversion of i64 and f64 to datums on 32-bit machines by @YohDeadfall in #1859
