This release introduces the ability to add secondary indexes to the columnstore, improves group by and filtering performance through columnstore vectorization, and contains the highly upvoted community request of transition table support. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available opportunity. **Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.18.0** * The ability to add secondary indexes to the columnstore through the new hypercore table access method. * Significant performance improvements through vectorization (`SIMD`) for aggregations using a group by with one column and/or using a filter clause when querying the columnstore. * Hypertables support triggers for transition tables, which is one of the most upvoted community feature requests. * Updated methods to manage Timescale's hybrid row-columnar store (hypercore) that highlight the usage of the columnstore which includes both an optimized columnar format as well as compression. **Dropping support for Bitnami images** After the recent change in Bitnami’s [LTS support policy](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/issues/75671), we are no longer building Bitnami images for TimescaleDB. We recommend using the [official TimescaleDB Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/timescaledb-ha) **Deprecation Notice** We are deprecating the following parameters, functions, procedures and views. They will be removed with the next major release of TimescaleDB.
