IMPORTANT NOTE: This flag day release breaks compatibility with older versions of . The manifest format, on-disk structure, and the binary names have all changed. You must create a new repository to hold backups for this version of and keep your older repository for a time in case you need to do a restore. The pg_backrest.conf file has not changed but you'll need to change any references to pg_backrest.pl in cron (or elsewhere) to pg_backrest (without the .pl extension).

Added the info command.

Logging now uses unbuffered output. This should make log files that are being written by multiple threads less chaotic.

Experimental support for 9.5. This may break when the control version or WAL magic changes but will be updated in each release.

More efficient file ordering for backup. Files are copied in descending size order so a single thread does not end up copying a large file at the end. This had already been implemented for restore.
