Bug Fixes:
* Fix remote timeout in delta restore. When performing a delta restore on a largely unchanged cluster the remote could timeout if no files were fetched from the repository within protocol-timeout. Add keep-alives to prevent remote timeout. (Reported by James Sewell, Jens Wilke.)
* Fix handling of repeated HTTP headers. When HTTP headers are repeated they should be considered equivalent to a single comma-separated header rather than generating an error, which was the prior behavior. (Reported by donicrosby.)
Improvements:
* JSON output from the info command is no longer pretty-printed. Monitoring systems can more easily ingest the JSON without linefeeds. External tools such as jq can be used to pretty-print if desired. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
* The check command is implemented entirely in C. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
Documentation Improvements:
* Document how to contribute to pgBackRest. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Document maximum version for auto-stop option. (Contributed by Brad Nicholson.)
Test Suite Improvements:
* Fix container test path being used when --vm=none. (Suggested by Stephen Frost.)
* Fix mismatched timezone in expect test. (Suggested by Stephen Frost.)
* Don't autogenerate embedded libc code by default. (Suggested by Stephen Frost.)
Bug Fixes:
* Improve slow manifest build for very large quantities of tables/segments. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)
* Fix exclusions for special files. (Reported by CluelessTechnologist, Janis Puris, Rachid Broum.)
Improvements:
* The stanza-create/update/delete commands are implemented entirely in C. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
* The start/stop commands are implemented entirely in C. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Create log directories/files with 0750/0640 mode. (Suggested by Damiano Albani.)
Documentation Bug Fixes:
* Fix yum.p.o package being installed when custom package specified. (Reported by Joe Ayers, John Harvey.)
Documentation Improvements:
* Build pgBackRest as an unprivileged user. (Suggested by Laurenz Albe.)
Bug Fixes:
* Remove request for S3 object info directly after putting it. (Reported by Matt Kunkel.)
* Correct archive-get-queue-max to be size type. (Reported by Ronan Dunklau.)
* Add error message when current user uid/gid does not map to a name. (Reported by Camilo Aguilar.)
* Error when --target-action=shutdown specified for PostgreSQL < 9.5.
Improvements:
* Set TCP keepalives on S3 connections. (Suggested by Ronan Dunklau.)
* Reorder info command text output so most recent backup is output last. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang. Suggested by Ryan Lambert.)
* Change file ownership only when required.
* Redact authentication header when throwing S3 errors. (Suggested by Brad Nicholson.)
Bug Fixes:
* Fix potential buffer overrun in error message handling. (Reported by Lætitia.)
* Fix archive write lock being taken for the synchronous archive-get command. (Reported by Uspen.)
Improvements:
* Embed exported C functions and Perl modules directly into the pgBackRest executable.
* Use time_t instead of __time_t for better portability. (Suggested by Nick Floersch.)
* Print total runtime in milliseconds at command end.
