PuppetDB 6.20.0 and 7.9.0 contain a change to the fact-contents query intended to reduce the reads required by Postgres, and improve performance on larger datasets. The changes cause a performance regression when used with PostgreSQL JIT compilation enabled. If you have JIT enabled, either by setting it in PostgreSQL 11 or running the default settings on PostgreSQL 12+, you should disable it by setting jit = off in your postgresql.conf. PDB-5450

In PuppetDB 6.11.0, 6.11.1, and 6.11.2, when PuppetDB cannot connect to the database and a user queries the /status/v1/services/puppetdb-status endpoint it would return an exception in the status response instead of reporting the databases as down. PDB-4836

Starting in PuppetDB 6.6.0, PuppetDB can reject Puppet Server SSL connections due to a restricted set of cipher suites. In an upcoming release, PuppetDB will be switched to default to the same cipher suites as Puppet Server. In the interim, the workaround is to set the cipher-suites manually. See the ticket for the recommended set. PDB-4513

PDB-2634 Added support for using dot notation for projections. This supports queries like the one below.

inventory[facts.os.family] {
  certname = "host-1"
}

The dotted hash projection facts.os.family must be 63, or fewer, characters. PDB-4521
