Server
-
- Continuous Archiving and Streaming Replication
-
-
-
-
-
- Add a synchronous_replication
- option (Simon Riggs, Fujii Masao)
-
-
-
- This allows the primary to wait for the standby to receive
- transaction information before acknowledging the commit.
-
-
-
-
-
- Add variable hot_standby_feedback
- to enable standbys to communicate their needed snapshots to
- the primary (Simon Riggs)
-
-
-
- This helps avoid cancelling long-running queries on the standby.
-
-
-
-
-
- Add support for sending file system backups to standbys using
- the streaming replication network connection (Magnus Hagander,
- Heikki Linnakangas)
-
-
-
- This avoids the requirement of manually transferring a file
- system backup when creating a standby server.
-
-
-
-
-
- Add command-line tool pg_basebackup
- for creating a new standby server or database backup (Magnus
- Hagander)
-
-
-
-
-
- Add new replication permission
- for roles (Magnus Hagander)
-
-
-
- This is a read-only permission used for streaming replication
- and allows non-superusers to initiate replication connections.
- Previously only superusers could initiate replication
- connections; superusers have this permission by default.
-
-

-
- Monitoring
-
-
-
-
-
- Add system view pg_stat_replication
- which displays activity of WAL sender processes (Itagaki
- Takahiro, Simon Riggs)
-
-
-
- This reports the status of all connected standby servers.
-
-
-
-
-
- Add monitoring function pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp()
- (Fujii Masao)
-
-
-
- This returns the time on the primary that generated the most
- recent commit or abort record applied on the standby.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Recovery Control
-
-
-
-
-
- Add functions to control streaming replication replay (Simon
- Riggs)
-
-
-
- The new functions are pg_xlog_replay_pause(),
- pg_xlog_replay_resume(),
- and the status function pg_is_xlog_replay_paused().
-
-
-
-
-
- Add the ability to create named restore points using pg_create_restore_point()
- (Jaime Casanova)
-
-
-
- These named restore points can be specified as recovery
- targets in recovery.conf.
-
-
-
-
-
- Add recovery.conf setting pause_at_recovery_target
- to pause recovery at target (Simon Riggs)
-
-
-
- This allows a recovery server to be queried to check if the
- recovery point is the one desired.
-
-

-
- Allow standby recovery to switch to a new timeline automatically
- (Heikki Linnakangas)
-
-
-
- Now standby servers scan the archive directory for new
- timelines periodically.

- Allow recovery.conf
- to use the same quoting behavior as postgresql.conf
