## Summary

HypoPG 1.4.4 has been released, a PostgreSQL extension for testing hypothetical indexes without building them. The update fixes a memory leak in WITH clause options and corrects hypothetical index names for Oid values at or above 2^31. It also prevents a failed EXPLAIN from affecting later queries and adds invalidation of hypothetical indexes when dependent objects change. The release includes additional PostgreSQL 19 compatibility fixes.
