Awesome advancements, yet, the only thing I’m (personally) really waiting the fix for is the compaction process, if it’s aborted.

I tried to install this on my RaspberryPI, but it errored out with unknown compression "control.tar.zst". Please find more details on the below thread:

zstd is already installed though.

Seems that the latest canary also broke the disk i/o optimization which could be previously used to reduce unnecessary disk i/o.

Is that a PR that needs to be merged?

Yep, this version doesn’t install on Debian 11. @kenkendk can we switch the deb package back to the other compression method? Not sure if there was a good reason it was changed for this release.

Unfortunately no. It happens when it happens. No need to rediscuss it here.
