pg_vault_tde v1.7.2: Critical crash fixes, new on-disk format, and stability improvements
What happened
Version 1.7.2 of pg_vault_tde is now available. This update focuses on critical stability, security, and correctness fixes: New On-Disk Tuple Layout (v5) : Introduces a walkable structure to fix a critical segmentation fault on UPDATE operations for tables with indexed variable-length columns (PSQLE-165).
tde_btree Hardening : The tde_btree index now strictly answers equality queries only, preventing incorrect row returns on range operators, ORDER BY , or merge joins (PSQLE-173). This is a binary patch release where extension version stays at 1.7, but users can distinguish the build at runtime using pg_vault_tde_build_version() .
TOAST Crash Resolved : Fixes a segfault triggered when values crossed the TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD only after being encrypted. Furthermore, a bug where an all-NULL row made its table unreadable has been fixed.
