SELECT version();
PostgreSQL 18.2 (e21737f) on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04.1) 13.3.0, 64-bitWhen a new minor version is available on Neon, it is applied the next time your compute restarts.

TimescaleDB on Postgres 18
Section titled “TimescaleDB on Postgres 18”We've added support for the timescaledb extension on Postgres 18. Install it with:
CREATE EXTENSION timescaledb;See The timescaledb extension for setup and usage.
New Neon Agent Skill: Claimable Postgres (neon.new)
Section titled “New Neon Agent Skill: Claimable Postgres (neon.new)”We've added claimable-postgres to the Neon Agent Skills collection. With this skill, your AI assistant can provide an instant temporary database via Claimable Postgres by Neon and obtain a connection string autonomously, without human intervention, account creation, or credit card. For details, see Claimable Postgres by Neon.
How to get Neon Agent Skills
Section titled “How to get Neon Agent Skills”npx (skills only):
npx skills add neondatabase/agent-skills -s claimable-postgresGit worktrees with Neon branching
Section titled “Git worktrees with Neon branching”Run multiple AI coding agents in parallel without collisions by giving each agent its own Git worktree (isolated working directory) and Neon database branch from a single repository. The guide shows how to avoid file, Git, and database conflicts and ties it together with a post-checkout hook so spinning up a new agent with its own database takes one command. See the guide: Git worktrees with Neon branching.
Google Jules and Neon MCP
Section titled “Google Jules and Neon MCP”Use the Neon MCP Server with Google Jules to give AI agents an isolated database branch for each feature. Connect Jules to Neon MCP so it can spin up branches, apply schema changes and migrations, and open PRs without touching production. See the guide: Google Jules and Neon MCP.
Fixes and improvements
Section titled “Fixes and improvements”Data anonymization
Anonymized branches are now supported on projects with IP Allow or Private Networking enabled. You can now create and use anonymized branches for these projects without restriction. For more information, see Data anonymization.
Neon Auth
Neon Console
The Drizzle Studio integration that powers the Tables page in the Neon Console has been updated to version 1.3.2. This release fixes a regression where Add Column → Review and Commit could produce a zod validation error. For the latest improvements and fixes, see the Neon Drizzle Studio Integration Changelog.
PgBouncer
The PgBouncer version used by Neon to offer connection pooling support was updated to version 1.25.1 for the latest updates and patches.
Snapshots
On paid plans, the snapshot limit (10) now applies only to manual snapshots. Scheduled backup snapshots no longer count toward that limit, so scheduled backups will no longer fail when you've already created your maximum number of manual snapshots. For more information, see Backup & restore.
