pig v1.6.0

Ruohang FengAuthor of pig and founder of Pigsty.

Pig v1.6.0 is a major release: pig pt becomes a transparent patronictl launcher, the new root-level pig inventory command group brings lossless editing and validation of pigsty.yml (with an experimental PostgreSQL CMDB bridge), pig sty grafana adds native Grafana dashboard management, and the packaged extension catalog grows to 562.

Highlights

• pig pt is rewritten as a native patronictl passthrough: all cluster commands (list, restart, switchover, failover, edit-config, …) forward directly with native flags, prompts, output, and exit codes, so new patronictl features work without waiting for a pig release. Local helpers status, log, set, and service/svc remain, with new -c/--config-file, -d/--dcs-url, -k/--insecure options and a pig pt -- … escape hatch.
• New root-level pig inventory command group (alias inv): status / list / show / edit / validate / check / diff — a lossless YAML engine that preserves comments, formatting, key order, and anchors byte-for-byte; edit validates before writing and writes atomically, so invalid YAML can never reach disk.
• New experimental pig inventory cmdb subcommands (check / init / load / dump / enable / disable) exchange the inventory with the Pigsty CMDB in PostgreSQL over a native driver, with bounded timeouts and digest-pinned confirmation for destructive operations.
• New pig sty grafana (alias gf) manages Grafana dashboards natively over HTTP: info / list / boot / load / init / dump / clean / lang / style. The pig sty surface is simplified: sty edit / validate / check / cmdb / dashboard / release are removed in favor of pig inventory, pig sty grafana, and pig sty list / get.
• Reliability hardening: repo / catalog / download writes are atomic (no more truncated files on interrupt); structured -o json|yaml keeps stdout as a pure result envelope with wrapped-tool output on stderr; finer exit codes (usage errors → 2, missing --yes confirmation → 7); Ansible list variables are JSON-encoded.
• Repository refresh: MySQL repos upgraded to 8.4 LTS, new Percona XtraBackup (pxb84) and MySQL Tools repos, Kubernetes v1.36, LLVM apt coverage for Debian/Ubuntu 26, Percona TDE sourced directly from repo.percona.com, wiltondb repo removed.
• Toolchain: Go 1.26.5, new native PostgreSQL driver (pgx v5), embedded Pigsty version 4.4.0.

Extension Catalog

• Packaged extensions: 531 -> 562; the broader PGEXT.CLOUD directory contains 2,230 entries.
• 33 new extensions, including the pg_lake family (pg_lake, pg_lake_table, pg_lake_engine, pg_lake_iceberg, pg_lake_copy), pg_jieba, pg_cjk_parser, pg_fts, pgmonitor, pgmemento, pg_tiktoken_c, online_advisor, pgsqlmock, and plx.
• 2 removed: pg_analytics, spat; 58 version refreshes, including vector 0.8.5, timescaledb 2.28.3, pg_search 0.24.3, pg_tde 2.2.1, and powa 5.2.0.
• Package aliases synced with Pigsty: kafka is renamed to kafka-stack; the Debian/Ubuntu postgresql alias now maps to postgresql-$v only (use pgsql / pgsql-full for the full dev set).

Compatibility Notes

• ⚠ pig pt failover <name>: the positional argument is now the cluster, not the promotion candidate — use pig pt failover CLUSTER --candidate MEMBER and review any failover automation before upgrading.
• pig pt positionals are native cluster-first (restart CLUSTER [MEMBER]); forwarded commands return native patronictl exit codes, own their confirmation prompts (-y no longer gates them), and no longer support -o json (use native --format json). pig pt config is replaced by pig pt set K=V and native show-config / edit-config.
• In structured output mode, wrapped-tool output moves to stderr and stdout carries only the JSON/YAML envelope — update scripts that parsed mixed output.
• pig inventory edit tightens the inventory file mode to 0600 after a successful edit, since the file may contain credentials.
