Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of PostgreSQL 17.0.

What's new in this version:

- New memory management system for VACUUM, which reduces memory consumption and can improve overall vacuuming performance
- New SQL/JSON capabilities, including constructors, identity functions, and the JSON_TABLE() function, which converts JSON data into a table representation
- Various query performance improvements, including for sequential reads using streaming I/O, write throughput under high concurrency, and searches over multiple values in a btree index
- New client-side connection option, sslnegotiation=direct, that performs a direct TLS handshake to avoid a round-trip negotiation
- pg_basebackup now supports incremental backup
- COPY adds a new option, ON_ERROR ignore, that allows a copy operation to continue in the event of an error

Logical replication enhancements, including:
- Failover control
- pg_createsubscriber, a utility that creates logical replicas from physical standbys
- pg_upgrade now preserves replication slots on both publishers and subscribers
