* Combine hardlink and non/compressed in synthetic tests to reduce test time and improve coverage.
* Change log level of hardlink logging to detail.
* Cast size in S3 manifest to integer.
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.

Bug Fixes:
* 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.)
Features:
* Added the stanza-upgrade command to provide a mechanism for upgrading a stanza after upgrading to a new major version of PostgreSQL. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Added validation of pgbackrest.conf to display warnings if options are not valid or are not in the correct section. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
Refactoring:
* Simplify locking scheme. Now, only the master process will hold write locks (for archive-push and backup commands) and not all local and remote worker processes as before.
* Refactor Ini.pm to facilitate testing.
* Do not set timestamps of files in the backup directories to match timestamps in the cluster directory. This was originally done to enable backup resume, but that process is now implemented with checksums.
* Improved error message when the restore command detects the presence of postmaster.pid. (Suggested by Yogesh Sharma.)
* Renumber return codes between 25 and 125 to avoid PostgreSQL interpreting some as fatal signal exceptions. (Suggested by Yogesh Sharma.)
* The backup and restore commands no longer copy via temp files. In both cases the files are checksummed on resume so there's no danger of partial copies.
* Allow functions to accept optional parameters as a hash.
* Refactor File->list() and fileList() to accept optional parameters.
* Refactor backupLabel() and add unit tests.
* Silence some perl critic warnings. (Contributed 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.)

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed an issue where tables over 1GB would report page checksum warnings after the first segment. (Reported by Stephen Frost.)
* Fixed an issue where databases created with a non-default tablespace would raise bogus warnings about pg_filenode.map and pg_internal.init not being page aligned. (Reported by blogh.)
Refactoring:
* Improved the code and tests for fileManifest() to prevent a possible race condition when files are removed by the database while the manifest is being built.
