1 January 2023 - Allure TestOps requires PostgreSQL version 14

As it was communicated earlier, starting from the 1st January 2023 we discontinued the support of PostgreSQL versions less than 14.

This means, we do not perform any Allure TestOps tests with PostgreSQL releases lower than 14, thus the startup, overall performance, expected workflows are not guaranteed on the releases less than PostgreSQL 14 for the new versions of Allure TestOps released after the 1st January 2023.

Before upgrading to a new Allure TestOps version released after the 1st January 2023, you need to upgrade your PostgreSQL server to the release 14.
