At least I'm planning to work on the following two items of Synch Rep for v8.5.
Of course, Synch Rep works fine without these features.

- Address the problem which the signals cannot interrupt poll() and select()
on some platforms.

- Add new feature which transfers all WAL records via the direct connection
between the primary and the standby. In other words, get rid of
file-based log shipping part from the patch.
