| 12 | +Pig `v1.6.2` is a feature and catalog release on top of [v1.6.1](/release/pig-1.6.1/). It grows the packaged extension catalog from 562 to 572, adds native Grafana dashboard schema v2 support, and improves local repository generation. The embedded Pigsty version remains locked at `4.5.0`. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Highlights |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- `pig sty grafana` now accepts both legacy dashboard JSON and native `dashboard.grafana.app/v2` Dashboard resources. Loading a v2 dashboard uses Grafana's resource API so tabs and section variables survive the round trip; dumping preserves an existing v2 destination while new dumps keep the legacy format by default. |
| 17 | +- `pig repo create` now prefers `sow create --pigsty --timeout 10m -- <dir>` when SOW is available, requires the resulting `repo_complete` marker to exist as a regular file, and falls back to `createrepo_c` / `dpkg-scanpackages` on Linux. |
| 18 | +- Local repository creation now works on macOS through SOW, defaults to the current directory there, and does not require `sudo`. The Linux default remains `/www/pigsty`. |
| 19 | +- Release metadata is bumped to `1.6.2`; the embedded Pigsty version stays at `4.5.0`. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Extension Catalog |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +- Packaged extensions: **562 -> 572**, with no removals. |
| 24 | +- 10 new extensions: `pg_turbovec`, `pg_disorder`, `pg_mentat`, `plruby`, `jsonb_plruby`, `hstore_plruby`, `ltree_plruby`, `pg_describe`, `cat_tools`, and `pg_vault_tde`. |
| 25 | +- 12 version refreshes: `timescaledb 2.29.1`, `q3c 2.0.5`, `pgmnemo 0.16.1`, `pg_search 0.25.1`, `citus 14.2.0`, `citus_columnar 14.2.0`, `provsql 1.12.0`, `plpgsql_check 2.10.4`, `pg_rational 0.0.3`, `pgbson 2.1.0`, `pg_readme 0.7.1`, and `pg_readme_test_extension 0.7.1`. |
| 26 | +- Package metadata and availability matrices are refreshed. Run `pig ext reload` to replace the embedded release snapshot with the latest online catalog. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Compatibility Notes |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- No commands or global flags are removed in this release. |
| 31 | +- When SOW is installed, `pig repo create` now prefers it over the legacy Linux generators and checks that the completion marker exists before reporting success. |
| 32 | +- The catalog count is not a promise that every package is available on every PostgreSQL / OS / architecture combination; use `pig ext avail NAME` on the target host. |
| 33 | +- Package-manager and install-script upgrades use the newest version published by the configured Pigsty repository, which may lag GitHub. Use the GitHub assets when you need this exact release. |
