Users can set the disk storage usage threshold and the maximum disk size. Upon reaching the threshold, the disk size will automatically increase in fixed increments up to its maximum. * Now you can upgrade PostgreSQL for 1C to versions 13, 14, and 15. * Installed the updates from versions [16.2, 15.6, 14.11, 13.14, and 12.18](https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-162-156-1411-1314-and-1218-released-2807/). * Expanded the permissions for users with the `mdb_admin` [role](concepts/roles.md#mdb-admin).
