Changes

DescriptionAddresses
Updated the default PostgreSQL version to `18.1-standard-ubi9`.#9178
Updated the default PgBouncer version to **1.25.1**, which carries a fix for **CVE-2025-12819**, for new Pooler deployments.#9367

Bug Fixes

DescriptionAddresses
Fixed the CheckEmptyWalArchive safeguard to run correctly when restoring from a volume snapshot using CNP-I backup/WAL plugins (e.g.,plugin-barman-cloud).

Previously, this check was skipped for plugin-based implementations.

#9306
Fixed TLS certificate verification issues when connecting to CNP-I plugins by adding the k8s.enterprisedb.io/pluginServerName annotation.

This allows customizing the DNS name used for certificate verification in environments where the plugin's certificate uses a different DNS name than the Service name.

#9222
Fixed an issue where the instance manager controller could fail to restart after an error, reporting a "controller already exists" message.

The controller now uses SkipNameValidation for subsequent initialization attempts. Contributed by @mateusoliveira43.

#9123
Fixed incorrect WAL restore path handling in plugins when the destination path is absolute, preventing path duplication issues.

Contributed by @Endevir.

#9093
Fixed the CREATE PUBLICATION SQL generation for multi-table publications to be backward-compatible with PostgreSQL 13+.

The previously generated syntax was only valid for PostgreSQL 15+ and caused syntax errors on older versions.

#8888
Fixed backup failures in complex pod definitions by reliably selecting the `postgres` container by name instead of by index.#8964
cnp plugin: Fixed bugs in cnp report log collection, especially when fetching previous logs.

The collector now correctly fetches previous and current logs in separate requests and gracefully handles missing previous logs (e.g., on containers with no restart history), ensuring current logs are always collected.
