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.
