This is a new minor release to the 1.6 version of the Postrges Operator. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback, raised issues or fixed bugs.

:warning: Note, this release contains a bug which leads to rolling updates on each SYNC event. You have to either configure additional_pod_capabilities (e.g. SYS_NICE what is beneficial for Spilo) to something what is allowed in your environment or keep on using the v1.6.0.
