+summary: The CloudNativePG community is thrilled to unveil the release of version 1.25.0, packed with exciting new features, along with the maintenance update 1.24.2 for the 1.24.x series.
+---
+
+The **CloudNativePG Community** is delighted to announce the release of
+**CloudNativePG Operator** versions **1.25.0** and **1.24.2**!
+
+Additionally, we have released **1.23.6** as the final patch for the
+now-unsupported 1.23.x series to ensure a smooth transition for remaining
+users.
+
+---
+
+## What’s New in CloudNativePG 1.25.0?
+
+Version 1.25.0 introduces groundbreaking features to simplify PostgreSQL
+operations and enhance data durability.
+
+### Major Highlights
+
+- **Declarative Database Management**: Streamline the lifecycle of PostgreSQL
+  databases with the new `Database` Custom Resource Definition (CRD).
+- **Logical Replication Made Easy**: Manage logical replication with new
+  `Publication` and `Subscription` CRDs. Ideal for online migrations, major
+  version upgrades, and more.
+- **Fine-Tuned Data Durability**: Optimize synchronous replication strategies
+  with the `dataDurability` option for a balanced approach to data safety and
+  self-healing.
+
+### Introducing CloudNativePG Interface (CNPG-I)
+
+This release marks a pivotal moment for CloudNativePG with the experimental
+introduction of **CNPG-I**. This new standard framework enables users to extend
+CloudNativePG with external plugins, unlocking vast possibilities for
+customization.
+
+The [Barman Cloud Plugin](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/plugin-barman-cloud)
+demonstrates CNPG-I's potential, showcasing how backup and recovery plugins can
+be developed independently of the operator’s source code. We invite community
+feedback and contributions to refine this innovative capability!
+
+For a comprehensive overview, read the
+[1.25 release notes](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/1.25/release_notes/v1.25/).
+
+---
+
+## Additional Enhancements in 1.25.0
+
+Explore even more improvements in this release:
+
+- **Enhanced `pg_dump` and `pg_restore` Controls**: Accelerate data migrations
+  with object exclusions and parallel processing options.
+- **Parallel Reconcilers**: Boost cluster management efficiency through
+  parallel operations in the cluster controller.
+
+Check the complete list of changes in the
+[release notes](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/1.25/release_notes/v1.25/).

+[upgrade documentation](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/1.25/installation_upgrade/#upgrades).

+version 1.24 will continue until **March 23, 2025**.

+# About CloudNativePG
+
+[CloudNativePG](https://cloudnative-pg.io) stands as a groundbreaking
+open-source Kubernetes Operator designed explicitly for PostgreSQL workloads.
+Seamlessly orchestrating the entire life cycle of a PostgreSQL cluster,
+CloudNativePG takes charge from bootstrapping and configuration to ensuring
+high availability, connection routing, and comprehensive backup and disaster
+recovery mechanisms.
+Leveraging PostgreSQL's native streaming replication, CloudNativePG efficiently
+distributes data across pods, nodes, and zones, utilizing standard Kubernetes
+patterns. This enables seamless scaling of replicas in a Kubernetes-native
+manner, with the operator autonomously and safely reconfiguring replication as
+needed.
+Originally conceived and supported by [EDB](https://www.enterprisedb.com/),
+CloudNativePG represents a paradigm shift in managing PostgreSQL workloads
+within Kubernetes environments.
