Hi all,

I have confirmed a regression in the PostgreSQL 18.1 Windows x64 installer. The psql.exe binary appears to have been compiled without libedit or readline support. Even when HISTFILE is correctly defined in the environment or psqlrc.conf, the application fails to record history. 
Running \s explicitly returns 'history is not supported by this installation'. This was verified on a fresh install of Windows 10/11.

postgres=# \s C:/psql_logs/psql_historyhistory is not supported by this installationpostgres=#As you can see I was testing with different places to put the history file since it didn't work with the default location, APPDATA\postgresql.  V17 works fine with the installer.  How can I report this bug? (edited) 

Regards,

Michael Vitale
