Hello Postgres Community,

I am Mankirat - 3rd year Computer Engineering undergrad. I am excited to
share that I will be developing an ABI compliance checker and reporting
system this summers as my GSoC 2025 project under the mentorship of David
Wheeler <https://justatheory.com/> and Pavlo Golub
<https://pashagolub.github.io/blog/>.

This project will help identify and prevent unintentional ABI changes in
future minor Postgres releases. This follows on the heels of the addition
of ABI and API guidance <https://justatheory.com/2024/06/abi-api-guidance/>
in Postgres 18, as well as the ABI-breaking Postgres 17.1 release
<https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/explaining-abi-breakage-postgresql-171>.

I had wrote two blogs for the same discussing about importance of this
project and how I plan to work on this at blog.mankiratsingh.com
I’d greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Best,
Mankirat Singh
