Neon has pg18 ready to use on the day it's released, just like last year.

Sadly one of the most interesting features, Async I/O, is going to take some work at the file system level for us to support. For now all operations are still sync. And we'll keep updating on our progress there.

This is great to see, both the new 18 features (async I/O, UUIDv7 specifically).

What I was surprised to see was no changes that make it easier to upstream the changes that neon and others have to upstream each release. Anyone have insights on this?

PostgreSQL 18.0 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-28), 64-bit

Compiled. Install. Very nice. Let's see some of those features.
