The options accommodate systems where CAs are not automatically found by IO::Socket::SSL, i.e. RHEL7, or to load custom CAs.

Refactor storage layer to allow for new repository filesystems using drivers. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang.)
Refactor IO layer to allow for new compression formats, checksum types, and other capabilities using filters. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Refactor Ini.pm to facilitate testing.
* Complete statement/branch coverage for Ini.pm.
* Improved functions used to test/munge manifest and info files.
* Full coverage is verified when specified.
* Modules marked with partial coverage will error if they are actually fully covered.
* Simplified test representation is DefineTest.
* Added new representation for queries in DefineTest and added API functions.
* Update modules using DefineTest to use new API.
* Fixed an issue where read-only operations that used local worker processes (i.e. restore) were creating write locks that could interfere with parallel archive-push. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)
* Simplify locking scheme. Now, only the master process will hold write locks (archive-push, backup) and not all the local and remote worker processes as before.
* Allow for locks to be taken more than once in the same process without error.
* Lock directories can be created when more than one directory level is required.
* Clean up optionValid()/optionTest() logic in Lock.pm.
* Allow logging to be suppressed via logDisable() and logEnable().
* Added more flexibility in initializing and cleaning up after modules and tests.
* testResult() suppresses logging and reports exceptions.
* testException() allows messages to be matched with regular expressions.
* Refactor name/locations of common modules that setup test environments.
* The options were ignored and did not cause any change in behavior, but it did lead to some confusion. Invalid options will now generate an error.
* Removed erroneous --no-config option in help test module.
* Changed the --no-fork test option to --fork with negation to match all other boolean parameters.
That is, while parsing options. Error codes were still being returned accurately so this would not have made a process look like it succeeded when it did not.
Controls whether console log messages are sent to stderr or stdout. By default this is set to warn which represents a change in behavior from previous versions, even though it may be more intuitive. Setting log-level-stderr=off will preserve the old behavior.

* Fixed error message to properly display the archive command when an invalid archive command is detected.
* Check that archive_mode is enabled when archive-check option enabled.
* Fixed an issue where local processes were not disconnecting when complete and could later timeout. (Reported by Todd Vernick.)
* Fixed an issue where the protocol layer could timeout while waiting for WAL segments to arrive in the archive. (Reported by Todd Vernick.)
Master and standby can both be configured on the backup server and pgBackRest will automatically determine which is the master. This means no configuration changes for backup are required after failing over from a master to standby when a separate backup server is used.
