Upgrading within version 5
EDB Postgres Distributed uses semantic versioning. All changes within the same major version are backward compatible, lowering the risk when upgrading and allowing you to choose any later minor or patch release as the upgrade target.
You can upgrade from any version 5.x release to a later 5.x release.
Upgrading from version 4 to version 5
We generally recommend you upgrade your cluster to the latest PGD 4 release before upgrading to the latest PGD 5 release.
Upgrades from PGD 4 to PGD 5 are supported from version 4.3.0 or later.
