It would be better if the hostnames were also pg1 and pg2 to illustrate that primaries and standbys can change hosts, but at this time the configuration ends up being confusing since pg1, pg2, etc. are also used in the option naming. So, for now leave the names as pg-primary and pg-standby to avoid confusion.
* More optimized container suite that greatly improves build time.
* Added static Debian packages for Devel::Cover to reduce build time.
* Add deprecated state for containers. Deprecated containers may only be used to build packages.
* Remove Debian 8 from CI because it does not provide additional coverage over Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed the info command so the WAL archive min/max displayed is for the current database version. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Fixed the backup command so the backup-standby option is reset (and the backup proceeds on the master) if the standby is not configured and/or reachable. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Fixed config warnings raised from a remote process causing errors in the master process. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang.)
Features:
* Amazon S3 repository support. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang.)
Refactoring:
* 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.)
* Move modules in Protocol directory in subdirectories.
* Move backup modules into Backup directory.

Making this dynamic in commit 5d2e792 broke doc builds from cache. The long-term solution is to create a special user for doc builds but that’s beyond the scope of this release.
The stanza-upgrade command provides a mechanism for upgrading a stanza after upgrading to a new major version of PostgreSQL.

This option allows pgBackRest to validate page checksums in data files when checksums are enabled on PostgreSQL >= 9.3. Note that this functionality requires a C library which may not initially be available in OS packages. The option will automatically be enabled when the library is present and checksums are enabled on the cluster.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed and issue that suppressed exceptions in PDF builds.
Features:
* Allow a source to be included as a section so large documents can be broken up.
* Added section link support to Markdown output.
* Added list support to PDF output.
* Added include option to explicitly build sources (complements the exclude option though both cannot be used in the same invocation).
* Added keyword-add option to add keywords without overriding the default keyword.
* Added debug option to doc.pl to easily add the debug keyword to documentation builds.
* Added pre option to doc.pl to easily add the pre keyword to documentation builds.
Refactoring:
* Improvements to markdown rendering.
* Remove code dependency on project variable, instead use title param.
This regression was introduced in v1.09 and affected efficiency only, all WAL segments were correctly archived in asynchronous mode.
