### Fixes & improvements

- Pageserver: Added `disk_size` and `instance_type` properties to the Pageserver API. This data is required to support assigning Neon projects to Pageservers based on Pageserver disk usage.
- Proxy: Added error reporting for unusually low `proxy_io_bytes_per_client metric` values.
- Proxy: Added support for additional domain names to enable partner integrations with Neon.
- Proxy: The passwordless authentication proxy ignored non-wildcard common names, passing a `None` value instead. A non-wildcard common name is now set, and an error is reported if a `None` value is passed.
- Safekeeper: The `wal_backup_lsn` is now advanced after each WAL segment is offloaded to storage to avoid lags in WAL segment cleanup.
- Safekeeper: Added a timeout for reading from the socket in the Safekeeper WAL service to avoid an accumulation of waiting threads.
- Pageserver: Corrected an issue that caused data layer eviction to occur at a percentage above the configured disk-usage threshold.

### Configurable scale to zero

You can now configure the period of inactivity after which a compute is automatically suspended. For example, you can increase the setting to reduce how often a compute is suspended, or you can disable the feature entirely to ensure that a compute remains active. The maximum scale to zero setting is 86400 seconds (24-hours). A setting of 0 means use the default (5 minutes / 300 seconds), and a setting of -1 means never suspend the compute. You can access the configuration dialog by [editing a compute endpoint](/docs/manage/computes#edit-a-compute-endpoint).

### Monitor storage on the Dashboard

Added a **Storage** widget to the Neon **Dashboard** that shows current project storage size, number of branches, and data size for the default branch. These metrics previously appeared in the **Usage** widget.

### Postgres extension support

Added support for the [pg_stat_statements](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgstatstatements.html) extension, which provides tracking of plan and execution statistics for SQL statements. For more information about Postgres extensions supported by Neon, see [Postgres extensions](/docs/extensions/pg-extensions/).

## Fixes & improvements

- API: Added `consumption_period_start` and `consumption_period_end` properties to the [Get project details](https://api-docs.neon.tech/reference/getproject) API. These properties provide the date and time when Neon starts and stops measuring usage for the current billing period.
- API: Project limits for shared projects are now checked against the project owner's limits. Previously, limits were checked against the project user's limits, which could prevent a Free Tier user from making full use of a project shared by a Pro plan user.
- Control Plane: Added an option to allow the Neon Control Plane to provide a compute node configuration specification in an API call after a compute node is started.
  Integrations: Added information to the Neon Vercel Integration UI to indicate that Neon securely stores passwords. Neon stores a database user's password in a secure storage vault associated with the Neon project.
- UI: Removed the previously deprecated **Pooler enabled** option from the **Edit Compute Endpoint** dialog. Connection pooling is now enabled for individual connection strings instead of compute endpoints. For more information, see [Connection pooling](/docs/connect/connection-pooling).
- UI: The **Usage** widget in the Neon Dashboard now shows the start date for the project usage metrics shown in the widget.
- UI: Added a link to the **Pro** badge that appears in the Neon Console for users that have upgraded to Neon's Pro plan. Clicking the badge directs you to the **Billing** page in the Neon Console.
- UI: Added a documentation link and text to the **Roles** page in the Neon Console explaining the purpose of roles.
- UI: Added hover help to the `DEFAULT` branch badge that identifies a branch as the default branch for a project. The help message states that the compute endpoint associated with the default branch remains accessible if you exceed project limits, ensuring uninterrupted access to the data on your default branch.
- UI: Corrected an issue that directed users to a `Something went wrong` page after creating a branch without a compute endpoint.
- UI: Added missing `endpoint_id` to the connection examples accessible from the **Connection Details** widget on the Neon Dashboard.
