PostgreSQL extension compatibility with PostgreSQL major versions

Which major versions of PostgreSQL a popular server extension supports, taken from that extension's own documentation, README or changelog -- not from any one cloud vendor's managed-service certification list. Before upgrading a self-hosted PostgreSQL server, an operator running several extensions has to check every extension's supported range separately, because dropping support for an old PostgreSQL version and adding support for a new one happen on each extension's own schedule, not in step with Postgres itself or with each other. Cloud vendors (Azure, AWS/Aurora, DigitalOcean, Alibaba) each publish their own extension-by-version table, but that shows what the vendor has certified for its managed service, which lags or diverges from what the extension's own maintainers say it supports; no vendor-neutral page was found that cites each extension's own documentation. Some projects state a range in one sentence; others state only that a particular release added or dropped a PostgreSQL version, and the range has to be read off those entries. Both are recorded here, and which one a record rests on is visible from its quote.

Provenance — what every record carries

Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on the canonical site at its url.

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
