631535ae4f v0.90: 9.5 Support, Various Enhancements, and Minor Bug Fixes
* Fixed an issue where specifying --no-archive-check would throw a configuration error. Reported by Jason O'Donnell.

* Fixed an issue where a temp WAL file left over after a well-timed system crash could cause the next archive-push to fail.

* Fixed an issue where document generation failed because some OSs are not tolerant of having multiple installed versions of PostgreSQL. A separate VM is now created for each version. Also added a sleep after database starts during document generation to ensure the database is running before the next command runs. Reported by John Harvey.

* The retention-archive option can now be be safely set to less than backup retention (retention-full or retention-diff) without also specifying archive-copy=n. The WAL required to make the backups that fall outside of archive retention consistent will be preserved in the archive. However, in this case PITR will not be possible for the backups that fall outside of archive retention.

* When backing up and restoring tablespaces pgBackRest only operates on the subdirectory created for the version of PostgreSQL being run against. Since multiple versions can live in a tablespace (especially during a binary upgrade) this prevents too many files from being copied during a backup and other versions possibly being wiped out during a restore. This only applies to PostgreSQL >= 9.0 -- prior versions of PostgreSQL could not share a tablespace directory.

* Generate an error when archive-check=y but archivecommand does not execute pgbackrest. Contributed by Jason O'Donnell.

* Improved error message when repo-path or repo-remote-path does not exist.

* Added checks for --delta and --force restore options to ensure that the destination is a valid $PGDATA directory. pgBackRest will check for the presence of PGVERSION or backup.manifest (left over from an aborted restore). If neither file is found then --delta and --force will be disabled but the restore will proceed unless there are files in the $PGDATA directory (or any tablespace directories) in which case the operation will be aborted.

* When restore --set=latest (the default) the actual backup restored will be output to the log.

* Support for PostgreSQL 9.5 partial WAL segments and recoverytargetaction setting. The archivemode = 'always' setting is not yet supported.

* Support for recoverytarget = 'immediate' recovery setting introduced in PostgreSQL 9.4.

* The following tablespace checks have been added: paths or files in pgtblspc, relative links in pgtblspc, tablespaces in $PGDATA. All three will generate errors.

f8b47997a3 Closed #127: More sanity checking for --delta restores
Added checks for `--delta` and `--force` restore options to ensure that the destination is a valid $PGDATA directory. pgBackRest will check for the presence of `PG_VERSION` or `backup.manifest` (left over from an aborted restore). If neither is found then `--delta` and `--force` will be disabled but the restore will proceed unless there are files in the $PGDATA directory (or any tablespace directories) in which case the operation will be aborted.

5c815e4fc0 Closed #58: Get catalog number for better tablespace copying
When backing up and restoring tablespaces pgBackRest only operates on the subdirectory created for the version of PostgreSQL being run against. Since multiple versions can live in a tablespace (especially during a binary upgrade) this prevents too many files from being copied during a backup and other versions possibly being wiped out during a `--delta` restore. This only applies to PostgreSQL >= 9.0 -- before that only one PostgreSQL version could use a tablespace.

50a62fab6d v0.89: Timeout Bug Fix and Restore Read-Only Repositories
* Fixed an issue where longer-running backups/restores would timeout when remote and threaded. Keepalives are now used to make sure the remote for the main process does not timeout while the thread remotes do all the work. The error message for timeouts was also improved to make debugging easier.

* Allow restores to be performed on a read-only repository by using --no-lock and --log-level-file=off. The --no-lock option can only be used with restores.

* Minor styling changes, clarifications and rewording in the user guide.

* The dev branch has been renamed to master and for the time being the master branch has renamed to release, though it will probably be removed at some point -- thus ends the gitflow experiment for pgBackRest. It is recommended that any forks get re-forked and clones get re-cloned.

fdc99e30bd Allow restores to be run against a read-only repository.
Two things needed to be changed:
1) Don't open a log file when log-level-file=off
2) New --no-lock option to suppress lock file creation for restores.

097eb7ca41 v0.85: Start/Stop Commands and Minor Bug Fixes
* Added new feature to allow all pgBackRest operations to be stopped or started using the stop and start commands.  This prevents any pgBackRest processes from running on a system where PostgreSQL is shutdown or the system needs to be quiesced for some reason.

* Removed dependency on IO::String module.

* Fixed an issue where an error could be returned after a backup or restore completely successfully.

* Fixed an issue where a resume would fail if temp files were left in the root backup directory when the backup failed.  This scenario was likely if the backup process got terminated during the copy phase.

* Experimental support for PostgreSQL 9.5 beta1.  This may break when the control version or WAL magic changes in future versions but will be updated in each pgBackRest release to keep pace.  All regression tests pass except for --target-resume tests (this functionality has changed in 9.5) and there is no testing yet for .partial WAL segments.

9be15d00f8 v0.82: Refactoring, Command-line Help, and Minor Bug Fixes
* Fixed an issue where resumed compressed backups were not preserving existing files.

* Fixed an issue where resume and incr/diff would not ensure that the prior backup had the same compression and hardlink settings.

* Fixed an issue where a cold backup using --no-start-stop could be started on a running PostgreSQL cluster without --force specified.

* Fixed an issue where a thread could be started even when none were requested.

* Fixed an issue where the pgBackRest version number was not being updated in backup.info and archive.info after an upgrade/downgrade.

* Fixed an issue where the info command was throwing an exception when the repository contained no stanzas.  Reported by Stephen Frost.

* Fixed an issue where the PostgreSQL pg_stop_backup() NOTICEs were being output to stderr.  Reported by Stephen Frost.

* Renamed recovery-setting option and section to recovery-option to be more consistent with pgBackRest naming conventions.

* Command-line help is now extracted from the same XML source that is used for the other documentation and includes much more detail.

* Code cleanup and refactoring to standardize on patterns that have evolved over time.

* Added dynamic module loading to speed up commands, especially asynchronous archiving.

* Expiration tests are now synthetic rather than based on actual backups.  This will allow development of more advanced expiration features.

* Experimental support for PostgreSQL 9.5 alpha2.  This may break when the control version or WAL magic changes in future versions but will be updated in each pgBackRest release to keep pace.  All regression tests pass except for --target-resume tests (this functionality has changed in 9.5) and there is no testing yet for .partial WAL segments.
