Proxima integrates connection pooling, query proxying, and load balancing into the Postgres Pro Enterprise DBMS, enhancing efficiency and minimizing latency. It establishes multiple connections for client sessions, optimizes resource usage, and alleviates server burdens. Proxima redirects client queries to the leader node in a BiHA cluster, automating cluster topology management. Load balancing is under development to prevent overload on replicas. The pgpro_queue extension facilitates asynchronous message processing directly within the database, ensuring transactionality, prioritization, filtering, and reliable message storage. Postgres Pro 17 Enterprise introduces enhanced query plan management tools, including the pgpro_multiplan extension for storing multiple execution plans and a query registration assistant for managing queries. Adaptive Query Execution (AQE) and Adaptive Query Optimization (AQO Enterprise) improve complex query execution by dynamically rescheduling long-running queries and correcting planner errors based on execution history. Security enhancements include the pgpro_usage extension for tracking database object usage and identifying unnecessary access rights. The pgpro_ilm extension automates storage optimization by relocating rarely accessed data and compressing it. Infrastructure improvements include BiHA enhancements, multimaster support, and improved management of partitioned tables, along with the updated PPEM 2.0 for better UI and automatic instance tuning.

Microsoft has released an update for the Microsoft Store app, version 22501.1401, which allows users to selectively download specific parts and components of games. This feature is similar to the functionality in the Xbox app and is designed to help gamers optimize storage space and installation times. Users can choose to install or not install high-resolution textures or campaign missions, providing greater control over their gaming experience. After installation, users can return to the game's product page to modify installed components. This update is available for Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels running version 22501.1401.xx and higher.

Microsoft's PC Manager is receiving an update to version 3.14, which introduces new features for Windows 11 and Windows 10 users. Key improvements include real-time internet speed monitoring from the desktop toolbar and an upgraded disk cleanup algorithm for better storage optimization. Developed by Microsoft China, PC Manager is available in select countries via the Microsoft Store but is not accessible in Europe and some other regions due to privacy regulations. The application helps free up RAM and storage to enhance PC performance. The update, which began rolling out on October 24, also supports Windows 11’s Widgets board, allowing users to boost performance directly from the widgets. Additionally, the deep cleanup feature has been enhanced to identify and remove more temporary files than built-in Windows solutions, and users can now analyze disk usage for better storage management.

Google has launched the Android 15 update for Pixel devices, introducing an app archiving feature that optimizes storage by allowing users to remove an app's installation and temporary files while keeping its data. This feature supports all app distribution formats, including traditional APKs, unlike the previous version limited to Android App Bundles. When an app is archived, its installation files are removed, but the app remains visible on the home screen and in device settings, with its original icon preserved in a private data directory. This enhancement aims to improve app management and encourage third-party app stores to adopt similar features.
