We are excited to announce v26.0.0, our latest major release of Materialize Self-Managed.
This release includes several major improvements:
- In private preview: Source Versioning to allow you to handle schema changes in upstream PostgreSQL sources
- Better security with authentication via SASL/SCRAM
This release also includes updates that we had previously released to Materialize Cloud:
- Improved memory utilization with swap enabled by default
- EXCLUDE COLUMNS support for PostgreSQL sources
- Multi-replica clusters with sources & sinks, so you can make zero downtime updates to source clusters
- Several console bugfixes, including fixing session timeout errors
Starting with v26.0.0, you will be required to provide a license key to use Materialize Self-Managed. Providing a license key is a one time requirement while creating a new environment, or while upgrading an existing environment to v26. We continue to offer a complete free Self-Managed Community License, with a limit of 24 GiB of memory and 48 GiB of disk space. There are no time restrictions on Community License usage. You can obtain your Self-Managed Community license key through our website. If your workload requires more resources, contact our team for an Self-Managed Enterprise license.
