Subject: Transparent Data Encryption in PostgreSQL?

Hello.

Got a bit of a weird question here : what is the state of transparent 
data encryption in PostgreSQL? I was under the impression it was on the 
'to do' list for PostgreSQL 14 ...

https://www.postgresql.org/about/press/faq/

Q: What features will 14 have?
A: As always, we can't be certain what will go in and what won't; the 
project has strict quality standards that not all patches can make 
before deadline. All we can tell you is what's currently being worked 
on, which includes significant performance improvements due to 
optimizations in connection handling, continued work on the pluggable 
storage interface (including plugins such as zheap or zedstore), native 
TRANSPARENT DATA ENCRYPTION support, continued improvements to 
parallelism and partitioning, and many more features. By the time 14 is 
released, though, this list may have changed considerably.


... but a colleague at work is adamant that PostgreSQL has had TDE since 
2019.

Have I missed a memo somewhere?

Many thanks!
