+ Slony-I 1.2.17RC release candidate available
+ http://main.slony.info/downloads/1.2/source/slony1-1.2.17-rc.tar.bz2
+ 2009-07-29
+ Chris Browne
+ 
+ Version <a href=
+ "http://main.slony.info/downloads/1.2/source/slony1-1.2.17-rc.tar.bz2">
+ slony1-1.2.17-rc.tar.bz2 </a> has been made available.
+ 
+ <P>Changes since 1.2.16 are as follows:
+ <ul>
+ 
+ <li> Apply changes to logshipper that went into the 2.0 branch but not
+   1.2
+ 
+ <li> Change minimum debugging level to -1 to allow suppressing logging
+ 
+ <li> Bug #92 - compression of event numbers had a bug where events >
+   2^31-1 would overflow the "int" value
+ 
+ <li> Fix to race condition where file descriptor copies were being made at
+   the wrong time in the scheduler
+ 
+ <li> Establish compatibility with PostgreSQL 8.4:
+ 
+ <ul>
+   <li> autovac data is on pg_class rather than pg_autovacuum
+ 
+   <li> Need to use GetActiveSnapshot() rather than expecting to have
+     SerializableSnapshot in the backend
+ 
+   <li> createdb needs to copy from template0 to ensure it can match locales
+ 
+ </ul>
+ </ul>

+ Slony-I 2.0.3RC release candidate available
+ http://main.slony.info/downloads/2.0/source/slony1-2.0.3-rc.tar.bz2
+ 2009-07-29
+ Chris Browne
+ 
+ Version <a href=
+ "http://main.slony.info/downloads/2.0/source/slony1-2.0.3-rc.tar.bz2">
+ slony1-2.0.3-rc.tar.bz2 </a> has been made available.
+ 
+ <P>Changes since 2.0.2 are as follows:
+ 
+ <ul>
+ <li>PostgreSQL 8.4 has been released; slonik needs to explicitly recognize it
+ 
+ <li>Add in slonikconfdump.sh tool, which generates a slonik script to duplicate
+   the configuration of a Slony-I cluster
+ 
+ <li>Significant fixes to documentation to reflect 2.0 changes
+ 
+ <li>Add "OMIT COPY" option to the Slonik "SUBSCRIBE SET" command
+ 
+ <li>Document process for Slony-I 2.0 upgrade using OMIT COPY option
+ 
+ <li>Fix to race condition where file descriptor copies were being made at
+   the wrong time in the scheduler
+ 
+ <li>Modify "testseqnames" regression test to create a whole bunch of
+   sequences to validate that things don't break down with either lots of
+   them, or where IDs are large numbers
+ 
+ <li>Change minimum debugging level to -1 to allow suppressing logging
+ 
+ <li>Bug #92 - compression of event numbers had a bug where events >
+   2^31-1 would overflow the "int" value
+ 
+ <li>Autovacuum handling changes in PostgreSQL 8.4 - we pull metadata
+   from pg_class.reloptions, instead of pg_autovacuum
+ 
+ <li>logswitch fix resolving a potential data loss + statement blocking
+   bug...
+ 
+   Before attempting to TRUNCATE the sl_log_* tables, we need to
+   successfully request an exclusive lock.  By doing so in an
+   exception block with NOWAIT option, this can "lose" gracefully.
+ 
+ <li>Add LOG_NAME_SUFFIX to altperl tools
+ </ul>
