For the uninitiated: Fairly certain this can only handle minor version upgrades... Which is generally as easy as moving your data folder beside the new binary and starting postgres.. (minor version upgrades are already trivial..) Major versions still require a pg_dump (or a scary migration using postgres' anemic logical replication) unless some advancement has happened on the postgres side I'm unaware of.

> Beware: Fairly certain this can only handle minor version upgrades ... Nope. It's entirely for upgrading between major PostgreSQL versions. :) It uses the PostgreSQL "pg_upgrade" utility to do the data upgrade behind the scenes: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgupgrade.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgupgrade.html
