Go ahead and edit the matrix. It is a wiki file.

Recommendation of PostgreSQL: All the new versions work perfectly fine. We cannot exclude that future versions might have problems. In general, i would recommend for production the newest major version of PostgreSQL, with a release version greater than 0.

All the versions in the "Require" section of the release notes are minimal requirements (meaning this version or newer),

I took a conservative pass at updating the compatibility matrix (with some AI assistance) and would really appreciate a review.

Summary of changes:

  • Added 5.10.1 column and filled values defensively (only where explicit minimums are documented).
  • Added NaviServer 5.0 row (mirrors 4.99.x; explicit 5.10.1 note for 5.0+).
  • Added Tcl 9.0 row as unknown (no explicit OpenACS support yet).
  • Added PostgreSQL 13+ and 14+ rows; linked each PG version label to its docs and marked EOL in link titles.
  • Added Oracle 19c row (Yes for 5.10.1 fresh installs; unknown elsewhere).
  • Added tooltips for storing the rationales. Had to add them in title attributes of wrapping anchor tags because CKEditor strips td titles (i.e., the "links" are only there to preserve these tooltips.)

If anyone sees inaccuracies or wants to refine any of the assumptions, please let me know — happy to adjust.
