+## TimescaleDB&nbsp;2.15.0 on 2024-05-08
+
+<Highlight type="note">
+This release contains performance improvements and bug fixes introduced since
+TimescaleDB v2.14.2. Best practice is to upgrade at the next available opportunity.
+</Highlight>
+
+#### Highlighted features in this release
+* [Continuous Aggregate](/api/:currentVersion:/continuous-aggregates/create_materialized_view/#sample-usage) now support `time_bucket` with `origin` and/or `offset`.
+* The following improvements have been introduced for [hypertable compression](/api/:currentVersion:/compression/):
+  - Add planner support to check more kinds of WHERE conditions before decompression, therefore reducing the number of rows that have to be decompressed.
+  - You can now use `minmax` sparse indexes when you compress columns with `btree` indexes.
+  - Make compression use the defaults functions.
+  - Vectorize filters in WHERE clause that contain text equality operators and LIKE expressions.
+
+#### Deprecation warning
+* You can no longer create continuous aggregates using `time_bucket_ng`. Best practice is to [migrate your current continuous aggregates to the new format](/use-timescale/:currentVersion:/continuous-aggregates/migrate/), this feature will be completely removed the next release.
+* Recommend users to [migrate their old Continuous Aggregate format to the new one](https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/continuous-aggregates/migrate/) because it support will be completely removed in next releases prevent them to migrate.
+* This is the last release supporting PostgreSQL 13.
+
