- Change the way that swap syncs work: should be much faster [GSM]
- Use asynchronous queries when possible [GSM]
- - Redo the makedelta system, and break into source_makedelta and target_makedelta
- options for both syncs and goats, which inherit from the higher level (goat
- inherits from sync inherits from db). Add makedelta as on/off for db. [GSM]
+ - Redo the makedelta system, and add makedelta option for relations, which
+ inherit from db. Add makedelta as on/off for db. [GSM]
- Overhaul of sequence handling: now allows for all attributes to be replicated,
such as INCREMENT_BY and MAXVALUE [GSM]
- Do not replicate null values to MongoDB [Ali Asad Lotia]
- - Add 'default_standard_conflict' option, per idea from Franz Dürr. [GSM]
+ - Add 'default_conflict_strategy' option, per idea from Franz Dürr. [GSM]
- - Force time zone to GMT to resolve timestamptz issues with bucardo_delta
+ - Force time zone to UTC to resolve timestamptz issues with bucardo_delta
[GSM, Michelle Sullivan]
- Add a log_level parameter, and classify all messages inside Bucardo.pm
- Add 'bucardo list all' feature [Christian Recktenwald]
- - Allow removal of tables from herds via bucardo. [GSM]
+ - Allow removal of tables from relgroups via bucardo. [GSM]
- Add create_child_q_table() function. [GSM]
- - Allow 'bucardo update herd foo remove <table(s)>'
- and 'bucardo update herd foo add <table(s)>' [GSM]
+ - Allow 'bucardo update relgroup foo remove <table(s)>'
+ and 'bucardo update relgroup foo add <table(s)>' [GSM]
+
+ - Rename the default reason_file to bucardo.restart.reason.txt. The reason
+ log is then named bucardo.restart.reason.log (instead of
+ bucardo.restart.reason.log.log as before). [David Wheeler]
- - Better formatting of bucardo.reason.log, and log startup failures. [GSM]
+ - Better formatting of bucardo.reason.txt.log, and log startup failures. [GSM]

- Change main trigger names to 'bucardo_delta' and 'bucardo_kick' [GSM]
+ - Allow databases to have the same dsn, as we are moving towards in-database
+ replication. [GSM]
+
+ - Add complete documentation of all public commands, actions, parameters,
+ and options to the bucardo Pod (and therefore the man page, as well).
+ [David Wheeler]
+
+ - Use the Pod docs to show the output of 'help command' and 'help command action'

+
+ - Add Linux int script and RPM spec file [Devrim GÜNDÜZ and David Wheeler]
+
+ - Add --exit-on-nosync option. Bucardo no longer exits from 'start' when
+ there are no syncs. Use this option to restore that behavior. [David
+ Wheeler]
+
+ - Switch to pg_ctl in tests for more reliable (and faster!) Postgres
+ startup and shutdown. [David Wheeler]
+
+ - Fix incorrect shutdown when Postgres is not running. The pid file is now
+ properly cleaned up on shutdown even if Postgres is down. [David Wheeler]
+
+ - Tests now properly report the reasons for failed bucardo commands. [David
+ Wheeler]
+
+ - Revamp retry on serialization failure so that it actually works. The KID
+ no longer sleeps and exits, but sleeps and retries the sync on its own,
+ only sending a NOTICE to other processes that it is doing so. [GSM and

+
+ - Change the default serialization failure sleep time from 10s to 0.5s.
+
+ - The 'update' command no longer exits with an error code on success.

+ [David Wheeler]
+
+ - Remove the do_listen parameter, which was just another name for ping.
+
+ - Rename the 'ping' parameter to 'autokick', to better describe what it does
+ and to prevent confusion with the 'ping' command, which does something
+ totally different. [David Wheeler]
+
+ - Rename standard_conflict to conflict_strategy. [David Wheeler]
+
+ - Move conflict_strategy from add/update table to add/update sync. [David Wheeler]

+ 'stop'. [David Wheeler]

+
+ - Add 'remove sequence' [David Wheeler]
+
+ - Rename most --debug* options to --log-*:
+ + --debugdir is now --log-destination
+ + --debugfile is deprecated; use '--log-destination none' to disable all logging
+ + --debugsyslog is deprecated; use --log-destination syslog'
+ + Allow logging to stderr or stdout via --log-destination
+ + --log-destination may be specified multiple times for multiple logs
+ + --debugfilesep is now --log-separate
+ + --debugname is now --log-extension
+ + --cleandebus is now --log-clean
