Consolidation of Scan and Matchengine Containers

In the 2025.10.0 release, we have merged the scan and matchengine containers into a single scanmatch container. This change is part of our ongoing efforts to reduce resource requirements for Black Duck SCA deployments, enhancing efficiency and performance.

PostgreSQL 17 Production Support Update

We would like to inform our users that we will not be providing production support for PostgreSQL 17. Instead, we will be skipping PG 17 and redirecting our efforts towards enhancing evaluation support for PostgreSQL 18. This decision reflects our commitment to ensuring that our customers have access to the most stable and effective database solutions. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to improve your experience with our products.

PostgreSQL container migration to version 16

With the release of Black Duck SCA 2025.10.0, the PostgreSQL image will be upgraded to version 16. Customers who are not using the Black Duck-supplied PostgreSQL image will not be affected.

End of Support for PostgreSQL 15

With the release of Black Duck SCA 2025.10.0, support for external PostgreSQL 15 will be discontinued. For more information, please refer to the PostgreSQL Version Upgrade Schedule.

Upgrade restrictions for PostgreSQL container users

For users of the Black Duck-provided PostgreSQL container, Black Duck SCA supports direct upgrades only from earlier versions that use PostgreSQL 14 or 15 (specifically, version 2023.10.0 and later).

Upgrading from older Black Duck SCA versions (prior to 2023.10.0) will require a multi-step process:

• From version 2021.10.0 and earlier: Upgrade from the currently installed version to 2023.7.x, then to 2025.7.x, and finally to 2025.10.0.

• From versions 2022.2.x through 2023.7.x (inclusive): Upgrade from the currently installed version to 2024.7.x, then to 2025.10.0.
