Pig `v1.7.0` is a repository compatibility and catalog release on top of [v1.6.2](/release/pig-1.6.2/). It makes China-mirror selection explicit, preserves native DNF module filtering by default, restores a streamlined EL7 repository catalog, and grows the bundled extension snapshot from 572 to 575. The embedded Pigsty version remains `4.5.0`.

## Highlights

- `-m|--mirror` now selects the bundled `china` repository definitions directly. PGDG, Rocky Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Docker, and other regional routes use the maintained mirror list instead of the former runtime PGDG proxy rewrite.
- EL repository definitions no longer receive `module_hotfixes=1` globally. Pigsty and PGDG repositories that intentionally override module streams opt in explicitly; BaseOS, AppStream, EPEL, and other repositories retain native DNF module filtering.
- EL7 keeps a deliberately limited compatibility catalog: archived CentOS 7 Base/Updates/Extras/SCLo and EPEL definitions for `x86_64`, plus shared Pigsty and supported PGDG entries. The DNF-only `module_hotfixes` key is stripped when rendering EL7 YUM configuration.
- Repository setup now reports unsupported platforms when the catalog has no matching definitions, instead of continuing with an empty repository set.
- Release metadata is bumped to `1.7.0`; the embedded Pigsty version remains `4.5.0`.

## Extension Catalog

- Packaged extensions: **572 -> 575**, with no removals.
- 3 new extensions: `pg_local_cache 1.2.0`, `pg_statviz 0.1.0`, and `pg_policy 0.1.0`.
- Version refreshes include `biscuit 3.0.0`, `pg_clickhouse 0.10.0`, `pg_search 0.25.2`, `pg_turbovec` packages `1.29.0`, `pg_uuid_v8 1.1.0`, and the Debian `q3c 2.0.5` package.
- Package metadata and availability matrices are refreshed. Run `pig ext reload` when you need a catalog newer than this release snapshot.

## Compatibility Notes

- No commands or global flags are removed in this release.
- `-m|--mirror` is now an explicit China-region selection rather than a PGDG proxy rewrite. Use `--region=default|china|europe` when you need a specific route.
- Custom EL repository definitions that require module-stream overrides must now set `meta.module_hotfixes: 1` explicitly. This setting is intentionally omitted for ordinary OS repositories and removed on EL7.
- EL7 is end-of-life and only has limited compatibility coverage; prefer EL8 or newer for current PostgreSQL and extension packages.
