## 2.21.0 (2025-07-08)

This release contains performance improvements and bug fixes since the
2.20.3 release. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available
opportunity.

**Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.21.0**
* The attach & detach chunks feature allows manually adding or removing
chunks from a hypertable with uncompressed chunks, similar to
PostgreSQL’s partition management.
* Continued improvement of backfilling into the columnstore, achieving
up to 2.5x speedup for constrained tables, by introducing caching logic
that boosts throughput for writes to compressed chunks, bringing
`INSERT` performance close to that of uncompressed chunks.
* Optimized `DELETE` operations on the columstore through batch-level
deletions of non-segmentby keys in the filter condition, greatly
improving performance to up to 42x faster in some cases, as well as
reducing bloat, and lowering resource usage.
* The heavy lock taken in Continuous Aggregate refresh was relaxed,
enabling concurrent refreshes for non-overlapping ranges and eliminating
the need for complex customer workarounds.
* [tech preview] Direct Compress is an innovative TimescaleDB feature
that improves high-volume data ingestion by compressing data in memory
and writing it directly to disk, reducing I/O overhead, eliminating
dependency on background compression jobs, and significantly boosting
insert performance.

**Sunsetting of the hypercore access method**
We made the decision to deprecate hypercore access method (TAM) with the
2.21.0 release. It was an experiment, which did not show the signals we
hoped for and will be sunsetted in TimescaleDB 2.22.0, scheduled for
September 2025. Upgrading to 2.22.0 and higher will be blocked if TAM is
still in use. Since TAM’s inception in
[2.18.0](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/releases/tag/2.18.0),
we learned that btrees were not the right architecture. The recent
advancements in the columnstore—such as more performant backfilling,
SkipScan, adding check constraints, and faster point queries—put the
[columnstore](https://www.timescale.com/blog/hypercore-a-hybrid-row-storage-engine-for-real-time-analytics)
close to or on par with TAM without the storage from the additional
index. We apologize for the inconvenience this action potentially causes
and are here to assist you during the migration process.

Migration path

```
do $$
declare   
   relid regclass;
begin
   for relid in
       select cl.oid from pg_class cl
       join pg_am am on (am.oid = cl.relam)
       where am.amname = 'hypercore'
   loop
       raise notice 'converting % to heap', relid::regclass;
       execute format('alter table %s set access method heap', relid);
   end loop;
end
$$;
```
