Release notes

Incoming changes from upstream v1.26.0

This is version 1.26.0 of the Research Software Directory as a service.

This release updates the PostgreSQL database to version 15. Note that additional migration steps are needed when updating from 1.24 to 1.25. These steps are described in detail here: https://github.com/research-software-directory/RSD-production/blob/main/database-migration/migration-scripts/1.25.0-to-1.26.0.md

This version is production ready. If you starting a new RSD instance (without historical data) you can use docker-compose.yml provided in the deployment.zip file. No database migration is required in that case.
