The documentation was using wal_level=hot_standby which is a deprecated setting.
Also remove the reference to wal_level=archive since it is no longer supported and is not recommended for older versions.
Suggested by Patrick McLaughlin.
Allow commands to be skipped by default in the command help but still work if help is requested for the command directly. There may be other uses for the flag in the future.
Update help for ls now that it is exposed.
Allows listing repo paths/files from the command-line, to be used primarily for testing and debugging.
This command is internal-only so the interface may change at any time without notice.
The documentation was relying on a ScalityS3 container built for testing which wasn't very transparent. Instead, use the stock minio container and configure it in the documentation.
Also, install certificates and CA so that TLS verification can be enabled.
Since the CentOS 6/7 user guides were generated as a single page they did not get menus. Generate the entire site for each user guide so menus are included.
The release notes are generally a direct reflection of the git log. So, ease the burden of maintaining the release notes by using the git log to determine what needs to be added.
Currently only non-dev items are required to be matched to a git commit but the goal is to account for all commits.
The git history cache is generated from the git log but can be modified to correct typos and match the release notes as they evolve. The commit hash is used to identify commits that have already been added to the cache.
There's plenty more to do here. For instance, links to the commits for each release item should be added to the release notes.
The first paragraph should match the first line of the commit message as closely as possible. The following paragraphs add more information.
Release items have been updated back to 2.01.
The new name is preferred because pgBackRest does not support any SSL protocol versions (they are all considered to be insecure).
The old name will continue to be accepted.
This is just the part of restore run by the local helper processes, not the entire command.
Even so, various optimizations in the code (like pipelining and optimizations for zero-length files) should make the restore command faster on object stores.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix segfault when process-max > 8 for archive-push/archive-get. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)
Improvements:
* Bypass database checks when stanza-delete issued with force. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang. Suggested by hatifnatt.)
* Add configure script for improved multi-platform support.
Documentation Features:
* Add user guides for CentOS/RHEL 6/7.
It would be better if the documentation could be generated on multiple operating systems all in one go, but the doc system currently does not allow vars to be changed once they are set.
The solution is to run the docs for each required OS and stitch the documentation together. It's not pretty but it works and the automation in release.pl should at least make it easy to use.
The url for the menu item referring to the index (i.e. site root page) should use {[project-url-root]}.
This allows the url to be set to different values depending on the location of the index.
This report replaces the lcov report that was generated manually for each release.
The lcov report was overly verbose just to say that we have virtually 100% coverage.
There are currently no options with multiple alternate (deprecated) names so the code to render them in the help command could not be covered.
Remove the uncovered code and add an error when multiple alternate names are configured. It's not clear that the current code was handling this correctly, so it will need to be reviewed if it comes up again.
Pre-calculate the value used by logAny() to improve performance and make it more likely to be inlined.
Move IF_LOG_ANY() into LOG_INTERNAL() to simplify the macros and improve performance of LOG() and LOG_PID(). If the message has no chance of being logged there's no reason to call logInternal().
Rename logWill() to logAny() because it seems more intuitive.
The branch coverage exclusion rules were overly broad and included functions that ended in a capital letter, which disabled all coverage for the statement. Improve matching so that all characters in the name must be upper-case for a match.
Some macros with internal branches accepted parameters that might contain conditionals. This made it impossible to tell which branches belonged to which, and in any case an overzealous exclusion rule was ignoring all branches in such cases. Add the DEBUG_COVERAGE flag to build a modified version of the macros without any internal branches to be used for coverage testing. In most cases, the branches were optimizations (like checking logWill()) that improve production performance but are not needed for testing. In other cases, a parameter needed to be added to the underlying function to handle the branch during coverage testing.
Also tweak the coverage rules so that macros without conditionals are automatically excluded from branch coverage as long as they are not themselves a parameter.
Finally, update tests and code where missing coverage was exposed by these changes. Some code was updated to remove existing coverage exclusions when it was a simple change.
Call stackTraceTestStop()/stackTraceTestStart() once per block instead of with every param call. This was done to be cautious but is not necessary and slows down development.
These functions were never built into production so had no impact there.
Filters had different ideas about what "done" meant and this added complication to the group filter processing. For example, gzip decompression would detect end of stream and mark the filter as done before it had been flushed.
Improve the IoFilter interface to give a consistent definition of done across all filters, i.e. no filter can be done until it has started flushing no matter what the underlying driver reports. This removes quite a bit of tricky logic in the processing loop which tried to determine when a filter was "really" done.
Also improve management of the input buffers by pointing directly to the prior output buffer (or the caller's input) to eliminate loops that set/cleared these buffers.
If content was zero-length then the IO object was not created. This put the burden on the caller to test that the IO object existed before checking eof.
Instead, create an IO object even if it will immediately return eof. This has little cost and makes the calling code simpler.
Also add an explicit test for zero-length files in S3 and a few assertions.
The rules for when a C remote is required are getting complicated and will get worse when restoreFile() is migrated.
Instead, set the --c option when a C remote is required. This option will be removed when the remote is entirely implemented in C.
Most of the *Free() functions are pretty generic so add macros to make creating them as easy as possible.
Create a distinction between *Free() functions that the caller uses to free memory and callbacks that free third-party resources. There are a number of cases where a driver needs to free resources but does not need a normal *Free() because it is handled by the interface.
Add common/object.h for macros that make object maintenance easier. This pattern can also be used for many more object functions.
Rename memContextCallback() to memContextCallbackSet() to be more consistent with other parts of the code.
Free all context memory when an exception is thrown from a callback. Previously only the child contexts would be freed and this resulted in some allocations being lost. In practice this is probably not a big deal since the process will likely terminate shortly, but there may well be cases where that is not true.
Add GLUE() macro which is useful for creating identifiers.
Move MACRO_TO_STR() here and rename it STRINGIFY(). This appears to be the standard name for this type of macro and it is also an awesome name.
Remove "File" and "Driver" from object names so they are shorter and easier to keep consistent.
Also remove the "driver" directory so storage implementations are visible directly under "storage".
The function pointer casting used when creating drivers made changing interfaces difficult and led to slightly divergent driver implementations. Unit testing caught production-level errors but there were a lot of small issues and the process was harder than it should have been.
Use void pointers instead so that no casts are required. Introduce the THIS_VOID and THIS() macros to make dealing with void pointers a little safer.
Since we don't want to expose void pointers in header files, driver functions have been removed from the headers and the various driver objects return their interface type. This cuts down on accessor methods and the vast majority of those functions were not being used. Move functions that are still required to .intern.h.
Remove the special "C" crypto functions that were used in libc and instead use the standard interface.
Add bufDup() and bufNewUsedC().
Arrange bufNewC() params to match bufNewUsedC() since they have always seemed backward.
Fix bufHex() to only render the used portion of the buffer and fix some places where used was not being set correctly.
Use a union to make macro assignments for all legal values without casting. This is much more likely to catch bad assignments.
There is only one instance in the core code where this helps. It is mostly helpful in the tests.
There is an argument to be made that only THROW_SYS_ERROR*() variants should be used in the core code to improve test coverage. If so, that will be the subject of a future commit.
Some functions (e.g. getpwnam()/getgrnam()) will return an error but not set errno. In this case there's no use in appending strerror(), which will be "Success". This is confusing since an error has just been reported.
At least in the examples above, an error with no errno set just means "missing" and our current error message already conveys that.
The remote list was at most 9 (based on pg[1-8]-* max index) so anything over 8 wrote into unallocated memory.
The remote for the main process is (currently) stored in position zero so do the same for remotes started from locals, since there should only be one. The main process will need to start more remotes in the future which is why there is extra space.

Use autoconf to provide a basic configure script. WITH_BACKTRACE is yet to be migrated to configure and the unit tests still use a custom Makefile.
Each C file must include "build.auto.conf" before all other includes and defines. This is enforced by test.pl for includes, but it won't detect incorrect define ordering.
Update packages to call configure and use standard flags to pass options.
