repmgr 4.0 Now Available

2ndQuadrant is proud to announce the release of repmgr 4.0
[https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/repmgr/]. repmgr has been
the most popular tool for PostgreSQL replication and failover
management since 2010. It enhances and complements PostgreSQL's
built-in replication capabilities, making it easy to set up and manage
standby servers, check replication status, and perform administrative
tasks such as switchover operations.

The repmgrd daemon provides automatic failover capability to maximise
database uptime and can easily be integrated with other tools such as
PgBouncer for high application availability.

This new release is a complete rewrite of the existing repmgr
codebase, implementing repmgr as a fully-fledged PostgreSQL extension
and providing full support for the recently released PostgreSQL 10.
This release includes other important enhancements, some of which are
listed below:

- Improved switchover functionality
- Redesigned failover mechanism
- --dry-run mode for many operations
- New “repmgr node rejoin” command to reintegrate former primaries
- Replication monitoring checks
- Improved logging output
- Automatic configuration file detection in RPM and DEB packages
- Easier upgrade process for future repmgr versions
