The release.xml file was getting pretty unwieldy so break release notes into separate files. Also break contributors into a separate file. In theory most of release.xml could now be generated automatically but adding a new release does not represent a serious maintenance burden, so for the time being it does not seem worth it.

<p><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: In prior releases it was possible to specify options on the command-line that were invalid for the current command without getting an error. An error will now be generated for invalid options so it is important to carefully check command-line options in your environment to prevent disruption.</p>

<p>Fixed an issue where options that were invalid for the specified command could be provided on the command-line without generating an error. The options were ignored and did not cause any change in behavior, but it did lead to some confusion. Invalid options will now generate an error.</p>

|
<p>Fixed an issue where internal symlinks were not being created for tablespaces in the repository. This issue was only apparent when trying to bring up clusters in-place manually using filesystem snapshots and did not affect normal backup and restore.</p>

<p>Fixed an issue that prevented errors from being output to the console before the logging system was initialized, i.e. while parsing options. Error codes were still being returned accurately so this would not have made a process look like it succeeded when it did not.</p>

<p>Fixed an issue where the <br-option>db-port</br-option> option specified on the backup server would not be properly passed to the remote unless it was from the first configured database.</p>

<p>Added the <br-option>--checksum-page</br-option> option to allow pgBackRest to validate page checksums in data files when checksums are enabled on <postgres/> >= 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.</p>

<release-item>
|
|
<p>Added the <br-option>--repo-link</br-option> option to allow internal symlinks to be suppressed when the repository is located on a filesystem that does not support symlinks. This does not affect any <backrest/> functionality, but the convenience link <path>latest</path> will not be created and neither will internal tablespace symlinks, which will affect the ability to bring up clusters in-place manually using filesystem snapshots.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Added the <br-option>--repo-sync</br-option> option to allow directory syncs in the repository to be disabled for file systems that do not support them, e.g. NTFS.</p>

<p>Added a predictable log entry to signal that a command has completed successfully. For example a backup ends successfully with: <code>INFO: backup command end: completed successfully</code>.</p>

|
<p>For simplicity, the <file>pg_control</file> file is now copied with the rest of the files instead of by itself of at the end of the process. The <cmd>backup</cmd> command does not require this behavior and the <cmd>restore</cmd> copies to a temporary file which is renamed at the end of the restore.</p>
