After a considerable fix+test+refix+retest(+++) period, we are pleased to announce the availability of version 1.2.10 of the Slony-I replication system for PostgreSQL. Listed below are the release notes indicating the changes made since 1.2.10. Thanks to all that reported issues, fixed bugs, and helped validate things by running regression tests. RELEASE 1.2.10 - Fixed problem with EXECUTE SCRIPT (EXECUTE ONLY ON = <node>) - The script was being executed on too many nodes... - Added a test script for log shipping ... And alter it to add invocation of a DDL script. This allows testing for an event-counting problem in log shipping. - Changes to support PostgreSQL 8.3 as VARATT_SIZEP has been deprecated - in xxid.c, changes to support PostgreSQL 8.3 as tuple compression has more extensive support VARDATA_ANY(PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED((PG_GETARG_DATUM(0)))) tends to replace PG_GETARG_VARLENA(0) - Slonik's SYNC command never recorded the new seqno in the admin conninfo, with potential wacky results for WAIT FOR EVENT - Fix rpm build problem when the system has pg_config in both under /usr/local/pgsql/bin and /usr/bin - Add init script for Red Hat / Fedora - Fix archive log ship tracking. Slon now tracks the setsync status in memory and generates a void archive with the correct old,new event seqno for all events. - EXECUTE SCRIPT wasn't setting sl_setsync, which broke WAIT FOR EVENT on these events - Ducttape test #5 (which performs DDL changes) augmented to test use of WAIT FOR EVENT - Backpatch fixes for restricted text casts in 8.3 create_event() calls (notably, but they're not alone) need to be augmented to cast data types expressly. - PostgreSQL 8.3 is now a supported version for 1.2.10 The hope/intent is that 1.2.10 will be the last version of Slony-I in the "1.x" series, and will permit upgrades to PostgreSQL 8.3. The subsequent Slony-I 2.x series will require PostgreSQL 8.3. - Discovered and documented a problem with UPDATE FUNCTIONS on versions 8.1.[0-3]. - Fixes to log shipping test - Win32 fix for MinGW+gcc - cvs distclean changed to clean the build up more... - On copy_set() check that we have forwarded the confirmation of ENABLE_SUBSCRIPTION by the data provider only if the data provider is not the origin of the set. - For logshipping we need to use the internally tracked ssy_seqno for SYNC events as well. This allows "run_test.sh testlogship" to run successfully! -- select 'cbbrowne' || '@' || 'linuxdatabases.info'; http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/advocacy.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #187.
