The Slony-I development team announced Slony-I 1.1.0, a major new release of the most advanced replication system for the most advanced “open source” database system.
There have been a great deal of changes since version 1.0.5,
including:
- Greatly expanded documentation
- Logs optionally include date stamps
- Slonik now supports define/include (similar to CPP)
- Automatic generation of “Listen Paths” (formerly an error-prone manual process)
- slon daemons are greatly more configurable and can use config files
- Log shipping allows creating offline replicas
- Numerous improvements to automate maintenance
- Build environment no longer requires a full PostgreSQL source tree
- This enormously eases the use of Slony-I on systems using prepackaged binaries.
- Numerous bug fixes
