## Upgrading within version 4

Beginning with version 4, EDB Postgres Distributed has adopted [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). All changes within the same major version will be backward compatible, lowering the risk when upgrading and allowing you to choose any later minor or patch release as the upgrade target. You can upgrade from any version 4.x release to a later 4.x release.

If you're moving from 3.7 to 5 and want automation, you need to use this
two-step upgrade path. Potentially, your proxy architecture will change
multiple times from HA Proxy to HARP and finally to PGD Proxy.

Significant development was done to make upgrading directly from 3.7 to 5
possible and easier. We've expanded the database versions supported with PGD 5
and enabled the upgradeability of the BDR extension across multiple PGD
versions. Previously, we only supported upgrades from the previous major
versions. Previously, we supported upgrades only from the previous major
version. Often, a database upgrade was also required because only one database
major version was supported by both PGD versions.

Development is currently ongoing to provide a direct upgrade path from 3.7 to 5
using TPA by Q4. In the interim, customers may reach out to EDB Professional
using TPA by Q4. In the interim, you can reach out to EDB Professional
Services or Support for assistance and guidance.
