A bug was found after a 6.0.0 node joined a 5.0.11 node: no further 6.0.0 node could be added from either source. The version rule required all existing nodes to share one major.minor, but a cluster is mixed by design from the first newer node on.

The rule is now: every node 5.0.9 or later, and the new node the same or a newer major.minor than every existing node, source included. Existing nodes may be mixed. The mixed-version notice lists what each existing node runs.

Test: make that sequence the default layout (n1 on the old version alone, add n2 on the new version, then add n3 on the new version from n2 or, with ZODAN_N3_SRC=n1, from n1) and keep the previous layout as ZODAN_SCENARIO=pair. The version-rule checks cover the notice on both adds and the two rejections.

Tested on PostgreSQL 18 with 5.0.11 and 6.0.0: chain from n2 and from n1, pair, and an all-6.0.0 control.

Walkthrough

The Zodan compatibility procedure now allows mixed existing major.minor versions when the joining node is not older than any existing node. Documentation and TAP coverage now describe and test chain and pair cluster scenarios.

Changes

Zodan mixed-version compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update compatibility rules
docs/modify/zodan/index.md, samples/Z0DAN/zodan.sql
The procedure records existing node versions, rejects a joining node that is older than any existing node, and reports mixed-version details.
Add scenario-driven cluster setup
tests/tap/t/099_zodan_mixed_version.pl, tests/tap/schedule-nightly
The test supports configurable chain and pair layouts, node sources, version assignments, replication checks, and add_node failure handling.
Validate notices and rejection paths
tests/tap/t/099_zodan_mixed_version.pl
The test checks mixed-version notices and both older-joining-node rejection paths.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 347c1

The procedure now supports mixed major.minor clusters, but the regression test has two bounded gaps: it may miss an omitted node in the notice and may misclassify patch-only version differences. The change is otherwise mergeable with test follow-up.

Compare major.minor versions for $mixed.

Line 228 compares complete version strings. A supported patch-only difference, such as 6.0.0 and 6.0.1, sets $mixed even though the procedure treats both nodes as compatible and does not emit a mixed-version notice. The later notice and rejection assertions then fail incorrectly.

Proposed fix
-my $mixed = $ver12 ne $ver3;
+my ($mm12) = $ver12 =~ /(\d+\.\d+)/;
+my ($mm3)  = $ver3  =~ /(\d+\.\d+)/;
+my $mixed = $mm12 ne $mm3;

Assert that the notice lists both existing nodes.

The regex only requires n1 $ver12. It passes if the notice omits n2, including the selected source node in the default chain scenario. Assert the single notice contains both n1 and n2 with their running versions.
