Version 3.0 of Pitrery <http://dalibo.github.io/pitrery/> - the PITR made simple software - is available!
== New feature == * Support for PostgreSQL 12 * Rename "xlog" to "wal" in scripts and configuration keys == Details == PostgreSQL in version 12 has changed how recovery configuration is managed. There is no more "recovery.conf" file: - The recovery configuration keys are read from the postgresql.conf file. Upon restoration, recovery.conf settings are written by pitrery at the end of the postgresql.conf file. - A "recovery.signal" or "standby.signal" will be used by the restored cluster to know what action to take A new option is declared: RESTORE_MODE (or the "-m" switch). For restoration, it must be set either to "recovery" or "standby". - Multiple conflicting recovery_target* specifications are not allowed. PostgreSQL will make the check on startup. - We now advance to the latest timeline by default. Since PostgreSQL version 10, "xlog" has been renamed to "wal". Make this change in pitrery: - "archive_xlog" script is renamed to "archive_wal". - "restore_xlog" script is renamed to "restore_wal". - configuration key PGXLOG is renamed to PGWAL. - the WAL archive directory ARCHIVE_DIR is set by default to: "$BACKUP_DIR/archived_wal". - deb and rpm packages will maintain symbolic link to old "*_xlog" scripts. == Getting it == Pitrery tarballs are now on GitHub releases <https://github.com/dalibo/pitrery/releases/tag/v3.0> and distribution packages are now available on Dalibo Labs YUM <https://yum.dalibo.org/labs> and APT <https://apt.dalibo.org/labs> repositories.
