 This document describes the in-place upgrade of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL using the `pg_upgrade`
 tool.
+
+!!! important
+
+    When running a major upgrade on **RHEL 8 and compatible derivatives**, consider the following:
+
+    Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 16.3, 15.7, 14.12, 13.15 and 12.18 include `llvm` packages 16.0.6, while its previous versions 16.2, 15.6, 14.11, 13.14, and 12.17 include `llvm` 12.0.1. Since `llvm` libraries differ and are not compatible, the direct major version upgrade from 15.6 to 16.3 may cause issues. 
+
+    To ensure a smooth upgrade path, follow these steps:
+
+    * Upgrade to the latest minor version within your current major version (e.g., from 12.19 to 12.19).
+    * Then, perform the major upgrade to your desired version (e.g., from 12.19 to 13.15).
+
+
 The in-place upgrade means installing a new version without removing the old version and keeping the data files on the server.

+# Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 13.15 (2024-06-10)
+
+[Installation](installing.md){.md-button}
+
+Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is a solution with the collection of tools from PostgreSQL community that are tested to work together and serve to assist you in deploying and managing PostgreSQL. The aim of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is to address the operational issues like High-Availability, Disaster Recovery, Security, Spatial data handling, Observability, Performance and Scalability and others that enterprises are facing.
+
+This release of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is based on [PostgreSQL 13.15](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/release-13-15.html).
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+* Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL now includes the ETCD distributed configuration store version 3.5.x for all supported operating systems. This enhancement simplifies deploying high-availability solutions because you can install all necessary components from a single source, ensuring their seamless compatibility.
+* Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is now available on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat.
+* Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and compatible derivatives is now fully compatible with upstream `llvm` packages and includes the latest version 16.0.6 of them. 
+
+    To ensure a smooth upgrade process, the recommended approach is to  **upgrade to the latest minor version within your current major version before going to the next major version**. For example, if you're currently on 12.18, upgrade to 12.19 first, then you can upgrade to 13.15. This two-step approach avoids any potential conflicts caused by differing `llvm` versions on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and compatible derivatives.
