+This release bumps both the Postgres JDBC driver and Flyway versions. This should better support Postgres version 17, and as of version 10 Flyway no longer requires a paid subscription to support older versions of Postgres.
+
+While we don't encourage the use of older Postgres versions, this flexibility may benefit some of our long-standing installations in their upgrade paths. Postgres 13 remains the version used with automated testing.
+
+As part of this update, the containerized development environment now uses Postgres 17 instead of 16. Developers must delete their data (`rm -rf docker-dev-volumes`) and start with an empty database. They can rerun the quickstart in the dev guide.
+
+The Docker compose file used for [evaluations or demos](https://dataverse-guide--10912.org.readthedocs.build/en/10912/container/running/demo.html) has been upgraded from Postgres 13 to 17.
