PostgreSQL 12 will shutdown in these cases which seems to be the correct action (according to the documentation) when hot_standby = off, but older versions are promoting instead. Set target_action explicitly so all versions will behave the same way.
This does beg the question of whether the PostgreSQL 12 behavior is wrong (though it matches the docs) or the previous versions are.
The C code is designed to be efficient rather than deterministic at the debug log level. As we move more testing from integration to unit tests it makes less sense to try and maintain the expect logs at this log level.
Most of the expect logs have already been moved to detail level but mock/all still had tests at debug level. Change the logging defaults in the config file and remove as many references to log-level-console as possible.
Use checksums rather than timestamps to determine if files have changed. This is useful in cases where the timestamps may not be trustworthy, e.g. when performing an incremental after failing over to a standby.
If checksum delta is enabled then checksums will be used for verification of resumed backups, even if they are full. Resumes have always used checksums to verify the files in the repository, enabling delta performs checksums on the database files as well.
Note that the user must manually enable this feature in cases were it would be useful or just keep in enabled all the time. A future commit will address automatically enabling the feature in cases where it seems likely to be useful.
