I'm developing a bit of a Pavlovian response to blog posts that begin with "An update to <Product>", so I was glad to see that all of the changes seem really positive. TimescaleDB is a neat piece of software and I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a time series database. I had used some of their competitors in the past and it wasn't a fun experience. They had a high learning curve (things like multiple custom query languages, quasi-relational design that led to massive performance penalties if used the "wrong" way, etc), and at least for my use case the performance wasn't even good enough to justify the esotericism (although I've only used Timescale on small hobby projects with low data rates so maybe it's not fair to complain about another DB's performance with heavier workloads). IMO what makes Timescale so great and user friendly is that after you set up your tables you can treat it like a regular old SQL database. Everything just works, and you get all the niceties when you make temporal queries.
