Autobase 2.6.0 released

[Autobase 2.6](https://github.com/vitabaks/autobase/releases/tag/2.6.0) introduces a **blue-green deployment** workflow that allows you to prepare a fully upgraded cluster in advance and switch traffic with near-zero downtime.

Instead of upgrading your production cluster directly, you can:

- deploy a clone of the cluster (Patroni standby cluster),
- synchronize data using physical replication,
- automatically upgrade PostgreSQL on the target cluster,
- convert it into a logical replica,
- and continue receiving live changes from production until switchover.

When ready — switch traffic in seconds with near-zero downtime!
If needed, rollback is just as fast and without data loss due to reverse logical replication.
