Hi Karl/All,
I am upgrading from MCF v2.6 supported by PostgreSQL v 9.3.16
to MCF v2.10. I wonder if there is any official advice as to which version of
PostgreSQL will support MCF v2.10? The MCF v2.10 build and deployment
instructions still suggest that PostgreSQL 9.3 is the latest tested version of
PostgreSQL. Given that PostgreSQL 9.3.x is going end of life next month (
Sept 2018), is there a preferred newer version that should be used?
As an experiment I have installed MCF 2.10 supported by PostgreSQL 10.4. From
the outside all seems to work OK, but investigation of the PostgreSQL logs
shows a lot of errors:
e.g.

Do you have any advice as to whether it is sensible to use PostgreSQL v10.x
and if so can these errors be overcome?
