Barman v2.11 Now Available

2ndQuadrant is proud to announce the release of Barman version 2.11.

Barman [https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/barman/] (Backup and
Recovery Manager) is an open source administration tool for managing backup
and disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers. It allows you to perform
remote backups of multiple servers in business-critical environments and
helps DBAs during the recovery phase.

This release fully supports the upcoming PostgreSQL 13, and introduces the
barman-cli-cloud package, which contains all cloud related utilities
previously released with version 2.10, such as barman-cloud-wal-archive and
barman-cloud-backup, as well as 3 additional ones:

- barman-cloud-wal-restore: script to be used as restore_command in
PostgreSQL to directly retrieve WAL files from an object store such as AWS
S3.
- barman-cloud-restore: script to be used to retrieve a backup from an
object store and prepare the recovery of a PostgreSQL instance.
- barman-cloud-backup-list: script to be used to list the content of an
object store.

If you are upgrading from version 2.10 and are already using
barman-cloud-wal-archive or barman-cloud-backup, you must install the
barman-cli-cloud package as described in the release notes [
https://github.com/2ndquadrant-it/barman/blob/master/NEWS].

In terms of security, Barman now supports non superuser connections to
PostgreSQL 10 or higher. The user requires pg_read_all_settings and
pg_read_all_stats privileges, as well as execution grants on some backup
related functions. Please refer to the documentation for more details.

Minor bugs have also been fixed.

We strongly recommend upgrading to Barman v2.11 at the earliest opportunity
available.
