- Linux: Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 are now tested and supported. On Ubuntu 24.04 and newer the .NET runtime is installed from Ubuntu's own package archive.
- Docs: updated the [Linux server](ops-install-linux-server.md), [Linux desktop](ops-install-linux-desktop.md), [Windows local network](ops-install-windows-lan.md) and [Windows IIS](ops-install-windows-iis.md) installation and upgrade instructions for .NET 10 and Ubuntu 24.04 / 26.04.
- Docs: updated the database password guidance in the installation and [backup](ops-form-backup.md) documentation.
- Windows: the local network installer and the [local network](ops-install-windows-lan.md) and [IIS](ops-install-windows-iis.md) installation instructions now link to the official PostgreSQL download page (the third-party guide linked before is no longer available), and the configuration examples assume PostgreSQL 18.
- Docs: the Windows installation instructions now state that only one type of AyaNova 8 installation (single user, local network or IIS) can be on a computer at a time.
**Fixed**

AyaNova requires access to a PostgreSQL database server version 12 or newer. It should be up and running **before** AyaNova is installed. If you do not have a PostgreSQL server already then it must be installed to a location visible to the AyaNova server (same computer or a local computer on the same network).

Note: we have seen cases during testing where the PostgreSQL installer will show error messages related to Visual C++ runtime file installation on the latest Windows server platforms however this appears to be cosmetic only and doesn't affect operation of PostgreSQL.
