@@ -10,35 +10,9 @@ The `pg_tde` by Percona extension brings in [Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)](
 
 And **stable** for encrypting relational data in PostgreSQL using [Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)](../index/index.md). This milestone brings production-level data protection to PostgreSQL workloads.
 
-* **Streaming and logical replication compatibility**
+* **WAL encryption is still in Beta**
 
-You can now use `pg_tde` in replication setups.
-
-* **Improved performance testing & automation**
-
-Bare-metal fuzz testing, performance benchmarking with CI/CD pipelines, and daily reporting integrations with Grafana and InfluxDB help ensure robustness and transparency.
-
-* **Key management enhancements**
-
-Added SQL-level functions and CLI tools for rotating, validating, and managing encryption keys. Now more compliant with PostgreSQL standards.
-
-* **Better developer experience**
-
-Contributor guides, PostgreSQL-style CLI, static analysis integration (Clang), and extensive refactoring improve maintainability and onboarding for new contributors.
-
-* **Security hardened**
-
-Sensitive metadata redaction, improved error messages, proper SQLSTATE codes, and stricter key validation increase security and clarity.
-
-* **Major documentation updates**
-
-The `pg_tde` documentation has received significant updates, which include:
-
-- New configuration guides for Fortanix, Vault, KMIP and OpenBAO
-- Reorganized and expanded topics for Architecture, GUC, Functions, TDE Operations and FAQ
-- Extensive and numerous refinements and clarifications across the entire site
-
-Explore the full documentation [in the official `pg_tde` documentations](https://docs.percona.com/pg-tde/index.html).
+The WAL encryption feature is currently still in beta and is not effective unless explicitly enabled. **It is not yet production ready.** Do **not** enable this feature in production environments.
