See GitHub release: [v0.25.5](https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb/releases/tag/v0.25.5)

## New Features ✨

- Predicates that cannot be answered by the ParadeDB index can now be evaluated by intersecting
  with a bitmap scan over another PostgreSQL index (btree, GIN, or GiST), rather than checking
  every matching row against the heap, reducing buffer reads by up to 20x for selective filters.
- Replaced the `paradedb.check_aggregate_scan` and `paradedb.check_topk_scan` GUCs with a single
  unified `paradedb.planner_warnings` GUC (`off`, `warning`, or `error`). When set to `error`,
  queries that cannot use an optimized ParadeDB scan raise an error instead of logging a warning.

## Performance Improvements 🚀

- MPP search readers are now initialized only in the processes that execute them, avoiding
  redundant index opens on the leader and opening fast fields lazily per segment.
